Uganda: Fare Well Lucky Dube
WE have seen many foreign musicians perform here, but none has ever equalled Lucky Dube in popularity. He always gave your money's worth. He would perform for over three hours non- stop, give you the live music of similar quality to the studio recording, and sing with the passion of rich messages. He was never obscene and none of his crew could embarrass the puritans.
Asked whether he was a real Rastafarian, Dube said: "If Rastafarianism is about having dreadlocks, smoking marijuana and believing that Haile Selassie is God, then I am not Rastafarian. But if it is about political, social and personal consciousness, then, yes, I am," he said.
