In a hero’s mind the word does not exist.
That is what they told all heroes before. Perhaps the best tribute to Lucky Dube would be to quote from his own lyrics, an excerpt from “Touch Your Dream,” the last song off his most recent release.ĭon’t let them tell you it is impossible, If you don’t have any of his music, either of those would be great ones to start with. If asked to name a favorite Lucky Dube album, it would be hard for me to choose between the previously mentioned Victims and House of Exile. After the last song, Lucky walked across the stage to get close to some of his fans and shake their hands - including mine. The excellent music, the outdoor setting, the intimate venue, and a personal touch made this a great show for me.

It took place outside in a small amphitheater (at Rainbow Summer, a free concert series in downtown Milwaukee).
My favorite occurred in 1993 when he was touring to support his CD, Victims. I was fortunate to have seen Lucky Dube and his band perform three times, and each was an outstanding show. The folks who run Lucky Dube’s website wrote “the death of Lucky Dube leaves a great void in the music industry, as 25 years of music suddenly ends in tragedy.” True to reggae traditions, his songs often had a strong social message, singing against things like apartheid, social injustice, violence and crime, and the epidemic of AIDS. His beautiful tenor voice singing along with those reggae rhythms was something special. Lucky Dube’s music was just a joy to listen to.
