It’s a dark day for reggae fans world over following the death of yet another son of Jah. Lucky Dube is well know in Africa and the world for his songs which always carry powerfull message of love, unity, peace and righteous living. His death follows that of another great messenger, Joseph Hill (culture) who dead last year.
Lucky was instrumental in the fight against apartheid in South Africa and racisism in the world. Ironically he went down by the same violence he sang against in his song “Victims”.
Personally Lucky Dube is a hero to me, his music has been not only inspirational in my life but also a source of harmony when i need peace. His death is a personal blow. His space in reggea world can never be filled.
“The killers of Lucky Dube might have ended his life with a couple of bullets. But they have failed to kill his spirit. He will live on through his music in our memory and heritage. We will always listen to his eternal voice through his music.”
Rest In Peace Soldier, You Will Never Be Forgotten!!
JAH GIVETH, JAH TAKETH!! RESPECT!
