Lucky was born on 3rd August,1964, in Ermelo, Eastern
Transvaal, South Africa. At the age of 9 Lucky was chosen
as library assistant at his school. His desire to learn
about the rest of the world and South Africa's
controversial history had him immediately immersed in the
world of literature.It was here that he became acquainted
with the Rastafarian religion, discovering it in an
Encyclopedia. He also read about the music which is
synonymous with Rastafarianism - REGGAE. His interest grew
the more he read and found out, and soon he was working and
earning enough money to buy Peter Tosh albums (which were
the only Reggae albums available in South Africa at the
time). Whilst he was at school he founded his first band -
THE SKYWAY BAND - and raised enough money to bu More...

    Review about Lucky Dube

    Always remembered, thanks for the music | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Back to My Roots performed by Lucky Dube

    Lucky, too young plucked from us. You brought hope to the ghettos band reconciliation to your former oppressors. I have no doubt you would have become a UN ambassador for peace and reconciliation if only you were still among us. Thanks for the music and the wonderful lyrics. Always fondly remembered by the Mullen family, Dublin, ireland and Alkmaar, Holland.


    GOD is the way | Reviewer: Will
        ------ About the song Shembe Is The Way performed by Lucky Dube

    It's great to see a lot of our people in-touch with thier spiritual side. It nice to see that we understand that there is something beyond our touch, feel,sight and our understanding. Lucky Dube was one of those people. Which way he took upon this understanding really doesnt have much of importance. I am a Christian and believe that, Shambe and Christ dont have much difference, but thier skin color. Abviously, our people are very far from reaching NIRVANA, that place where you look beyond your sight, where you judge no one, but yourself, a place where understanding iquality and GOD love is the ozon of God's kingdom. To me there are too many things in this world that we will clearly not understand, not in another million years and not givin in to devils(negative and evil)way is what we should worry more about. Not whether, shembe is the way or Jesus is the way. God bless all of you and i hope, we start judging more ourselves and start viewing things with spiritual eyes, not with human(temporary)ways.


    The Way It Is | Reviewer: Augustine Kaponda Sikanda
        ------ About the song The Way It Is performed by Lucky Dube

    The song is set in the political climate of the apartheid and 'consequent South African' regimes. Lucky Dube,himself a popular fighter against the apartheid regime which was full of racist policies to which he was victimised and against which he vehemently fought, vividly complains in this that inspite of his numerous efforts in the liberation process, he has only been used as a means to the end. He is not even recognised by name by the political leaders [you dont even know my name-what an abomintion] and worse still they talk no more. Inspite of this situation, Dube seems not to be on the verge of extreme worry, by stating the semantically pregnant words; "thats the way it is."After all he will be needed one day. Politicians and people of all kind, desist from using people like banana peels, for even these have an inherent form of energy. TO ALL MANKIND, be fair to people on your way up the tree.TO DUBE, I see you vividly alive through the works of your hands. "Till we meet at Jesus feet"


    God bless the women | Reviewer: Fr. Marcel Emeka Okwara
        ------ About the song God Bless the Women performed by Lucky Dube

    May God bless the women for who they are. Women are symbol of hope and strength. Lucky Dube has done so great for dedicating this song to women. Women are usually relegated to the background, but owe alot to them. Think of what women go through in raising their children, and think of how the society has unfairly treated them. Women deserve more we give to them. God bless the women!

    SHEMBE IS THE WAY | Reviewer: Sizwe
        ------ About the song Shembe Is The Way performed by Lucky Dube

    GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH AND EVERYTHING ON EARTH.IT'S A PITY HE DID NOT CURE MANKIND FROM IGNORANCE.I THINK MANY OF OUR FELLOW AFRICANS ARE STILL SUFFERING FROM IGNORANCE,MAYBE THE APARTHEID HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT.PEAPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED,IF YOU THINK SHEMBE IS NOT THE WAY THEN THAT YOUR PROBLEM.IT IS HIGH TIME WE AS AFRICANS TEACH OURSELFS TO RESPECT OTHER PEAPLE'S OPONIONS AS WELL AS THEIR RELIGION,IT WILL SAVE US A LOT OF UNNECESSARY TALKINGS.THE PROBLEM WITH MANY CHRISTIANS IS THAT THEY WANT TO DO God's JOB AND JUDGE OTHER PEAPLE.LASTLY,THE CRUX OF THE MATTER IS THAT WHETHER LIKE OR NOT SHEMBE IS THE WAY AND HE IS HERE TO STAY

        ------ About artist/band Lucky Dube

    You always reminded me of my late mom. The day i heard you had been shot brought back the bad memories of how i am now motherless. She was your gretest fan and listening to your music reminded me of how we used to sing along to your songs whilst teaching me how to cook. I will always love your music even though you are gone. You are my greatest artist and i will always be your greatest fan even after death.Heaven is for the good so be happy there but say hi to my mom coz i know she will recognise you there. Peace


    THE INREPLACEABLE ICON OF ROOT REGGAE | Reviewer: Success O. G. Onoja
        ------ About artist/band Lucky Dube

    He was somebody I cherish listening to and derived alot of life philosopher and life reality and above all he gave hope when I almost lost all. I belief that JAH knows why he was taken when he did but his memories will remain in my heart for God knows how.


    Inspiration | Reviewer: Augustine Musulwa
        ------ About artist/band Lucky Dube

    It was very difficult to accept that you were gone. You wrote the best music I ever listened to and I cherish every record that I have in my library. I hope that you'll continue teaching and entertaining us even in your new dwelling place. May you live in us forever. Ciao.


    Do not confuse. | Reviewer: Keneil
        ------ About the song Shembe Is The Way performed by Lucky Dube

    Lucky is one of the greatest artiste that has ever lived and one of the most under rated. everyone of us at some time go through some soul searching...Lucky when he sang this song was in a soul searching mood. We must remember that he is a man justlike any one of us and can be convicted about religious ideas and systems that seem to make sense and fall into place. Shembe is not the way although many of it's practices are similar to christianity.
    Please, do not block your mind... the devil is out there devising ways of leading genuine, kind-hearted, sincere people to damnation...people like lucky and his fans like you and me.

    When you are being deciepted you will not know...if ou had known you would not be deceipted in the first place.

    God has a plan for all of us and he had a plan for lucky, even though he died violently,the devil did not win, i know the almighty would not allow it, no not with lucky, a man who has taught and united people.

    lucky i love and mis you dearly.


    Rest in perfect peace lucky. | Reviewer: Segun
        ------ About the song Crazy World performed by Lucky Dube

    Those who kill you will be killed in the same manner by the grace of God.Cause your inspiration music move's me a lot and teaches me a lot ho to deal with friends both our fucking leaders.
    Once again lucky,MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

    This song I heard the first time I was with the girl who is now my wife. The lyrics describe what I felt when I met her. She is my queen, my life, my everything. Now we are still far apart but God make us come together and we will soon be for ever!

    Shembe is the way | Reviewer: Nkululeko Oliphant
        ------ About the song Shembe Is The Way performed by Lucky Dube

    May the soul of Lucky Dube rest in peace with our Prophet Shembe. Lucky was indeed a lucky man. Despite his success he still managed to know the word of Gord. He made different donations for God's work. Even the current Nazareth King blessed him for his work.

    I personally don't debate issues of faith. You will hardly see Muslim, Jews, Hindus and other successful religions debating whether they are right or wrong. As Nazarites we shouldn't entertain these debates. We know Shembe is the way, if someone doesn't agree, then fine, it suits them!

    For LUCKY DUBE himself and those who are Nazareth Babtist Church members and those who "belives" that LUCKY DUBE was a "prophet" yes SHEMBE IS THE WAY, if you do'nt agree with that its your own problem, but for us SHEMBE IS THE WAY because we belives in SHEMBE NOBU NAZARETHA you knew what you were talking abuot, REST IN PEACE QAWE LEZULU
