Scatterlings
Scatterlings is a studio album by Juluka, a South African band led by Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu. It was released in 1982.

The album contains "Scatterlings of Africa", arguably the band's biggest hit (which would be re-recorded to more international success by Juluka's successor band, Savuka).

Critical reception
Robert Christgau wrote that "being a folkie in South Africa takes a lot more guts than it does in liberal societies, and that's audible all over this album—as are the melodic resources of the Zulu tradition, which happen to be vocal rather than percussive." The Globe and Mail wrote that "the music is an unusual and immensely attractive hybrid of tuneful late sixties English folk (in the Fairport Convention, Renaissance mode) with African rhythms." The Philadelphia Inquirer thought that the band members "are to African music what Crosby, Stills & Nash are to American—namely, wimpy, sappy and awful."
