Lucky Dube

Über Lucky Dube

Lucky Dube was Africa's biggest reggae star, a South African singer who switched from mbaqanga to reggae and used it to confront apartheid and injustice. Albums like Slave and Prisoner sold millions across the continent and beyond, and his message of unity made him a hero far past South Africa. His murder in a 2007 carjacking shocked the nation and the global reggae world.
