Culture Corner: Remembering Lucky Dube

View descriptionShare

Today marks exactly sixteen years since the tragic passion of Lucky Dube, a somber moment forever etched in history. Dube, a reggae luminary, met a tragic end in a carjacking in Rosettenville on October 18. His death sparked an outpouring of grief and indignation across the country. On today’s culture corner we want to pay homage to Lucky Dube. He was a South African reggae virtuoso and devoted Rastafarian who left an indelible mark on the world. His music resonated globally, amassing record sales that secured him the prestigious title of Best-Selling African Musician at the 1996 World Music Awards. Through his soul-stirring lyrics, Dube artfully shed light on the challenges faced by South Africans and the broader African community, effectively bridging borders and cultures with his universal messages. Over a span of 25 years, he crafted an astonishing 22 albums, solidifying his legacy as Africa's unparalleled reggae luminary, a testament to his enduring impact on the world's musical landscape. Reggae Music Producer Richard Siluma joins Morio Sanyane to commemorate the legacy of Lucky Dube.
