Lucky Dube has been hailed as 'The shining star of African reggae' (afropop.com)
and 'South Africa's biggest selling contemporary artist' (Mail & Guardian).
However, he isn't merely this, he's a modern day hero with a message that has
touched millions of people's hearts around the world. With an incredible 21
albums under his musical belt, he has proved himself one of not only South
Africa's, but also the world's greatest reggae superstars. A man with superb
musical taste and genius, an artist with a message, with a reason and a rhyme
behind everything he does.
As one can judge by listening to his music,
he has a message on every album. His songs are based on three main things -
political issues, social issues and personal issues - things that play an
important role in everyone's lives. He has toured the world more times over than anyone could dream of and shared
stages with names such as Maxi Priest, Sinead O-Connor, Peter Gabriel, Michael
Jackson, Seal, Ziggy Marley, Celine Dion, Sting and many, many others.
