RIP Lucky Dube 17 Years, 8 Months ago  
I never heard the guy's music but friends tell me it was excellent. Sad it took this to bring him to my attention. I shall listen now.

The music is lovely and his voice is sweet - start here



and then try this - great vocal



and how about this for a great interpretation?



What a savage indictment of our media that this guy wasn't brought to our attention earlier!

FYI: African reggae 17 Years, 8 Months ago  
Reggae, and in particular roots reggae is still massively popular across Africa.

Tiken Jah Fakoly is currently criss-crossing Europe (new dates are still being added to the current one to keep up with demand).

www.tikenjah.net/accueil.php
or check MySpace

Alpha Blondy is one of the pioneers.

www.myspace.com/alphablondy

What's interesting is the degree to which these artists walk the talk. Ivory Coast has been in civil war for years. Both of them get up and say what they think is right, at the risk of being shot. Fakoly is currently exiled in Mali.

Other artists include Fadal Dey and Serge Kassy.
