Calling All Lucky Dube Fans to Share Their Story


PRESS RELEASE 

Calling All Lucky Dube Fans to Share Their Story

Lucky Dube Legacy Company Encourages Fans to Share Their Stories to Feature in Commemorative Anthology of Artist’s Career




JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, August 5, 2024/ -- With more than 22 albums and 20 awards internationally, South Africa’s Lucky Dube is still one of the most streamed and celebrated artists across the continent. He continues to grow an international following, with his message and evergreen lyrics resonating across generations, race, religion and language.

To celebrate his life and the impact of his music across the world, the Lucky Dube Legacy Company is encouraging fans to share the moment Lucky’s music mattered!

“We know that Lucky’s music has had a deep and lasting personal impact on many of you. We also know that his music inspired hope, political and social activism in many places around the world – often the common unifier amongst those who heard and loved his music.

This year, Lucky would have turned 60, and we want to hear about the times made significant with his music. Maybe it was after listening to or seeing Lucky play live or even encountering him in person. Or maybe you shared a moment with a fellow fan by chance. It could be something that you experienced yourself or perhaps it is a story that you’ve heard from others.

Whatever it is, no matter if it is big or small, we want to hear about it.”

Your story could be selected to feature in a commemorative anthology of Lucky’s life in music that will be made available world-wide.

It may also be featured in Lucky’s social media posts, as well as future projects!

Dabyna Poll-Abraham: The Best Rock Music Guitarist in Africa


Dabyna Poll-Abraham:  Son of Rock

The Best Rock Music Guitarist in Africa

@dabynasonofrock is the best rock music guitarist in Africa for over 20 years and still counting. 

A fact that majority of Nigerians don't know. And he is a Nigerian.

He has performed in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other countries.

He is also amiable, humble and noble. 

A very philosophical musician.

I have had the honour of performing with him in 2002 as he and his band played for the rendition of my song, "Darego! You Are the Most Beautiful Girl in the World" in honour of Agabani Darego, the first Black African Miss World crowned in 2001. 

The live performance was for the graduation day of the students of the Alliance Française at the French Cultural Centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria.

It was an unforgettable night as the girls were screaming as I sang.

Do you know that Daby Poll-Abraham also plays Afrobeats rock music?

WHAT WOULD FELA DO?

 WHAT WOULD FELA DO?

Since the greatest Nigerian musician of all time, Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti passed on in 1997, the majority of Nigerians have become ass lickers and lap dogs of the  political ruling class and no single Nigerian musician or human rights activist has the balls and guts to dare them and call a spade a spade as Fela dared and faced the consequences without apologies and without regrets.

Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti was a revolutionary musician, both an awesome sociocultural and sociopolitical phenomenon.
No other musician in Nigeria and the rest of Africa and the world has been as awesome as Fela. And it is funny how young singers of the present generation who cannot read and write music are claiming to be great.Great in what sense?


Great in winning American and European music awards that Fela never bothered to compete for?

They cannot even have a small band compared to the Afrobeat music enssemle of Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti.
