Lucky Dube
Lucky Philip Dube was a successful and outspoken South African reggae artist who
released several popular albums despite opposition from the then all-white
government which rejected the musical style. He sang in choirs as a child and
performed traditional Zulu mbaqanga music until won over by reggae. His first
reggae release, an EP titled 'Rastas Never Die' in 1984, was banned due to
strong lyrics but he persevered and became established as one of his nation's
bestselling recording artists with albums such as 'Think About the Children'
(1985), 'Slave' (1987) and 'Together As One'...
