I Support The Cure For HIV/AIDSHow many remember this song which came out quite along time ago as Nelson was still imprisoned and it was getting more popular to voice protest in this country and other western countries. This song was one of the first to bring awareness to the sleeping, complacent people of the World. I put this here to remind that although Nelson is free, and apartheid 'dismantled', there is still much to be done in the world today and this song still applies for ones suffering.My Children!!

Nobody Can Stop Reggae!!Remember Me
Lucky never knew his own father, but in the same way he reached forward to make contact with his son, he reached back to “talk†to his father — as well as to other children in his situation — in yet another intensely personal song.“My music is about me, my music is me. It talks about my fears, my joys and everything. Remember Me talks about my father. I don’t know him, I’ve never seen him, maybe I saw him for two or three seconds one year, I can’t remember, but I basically don’t know him. I wrote that song not necessarily for me, but for all the children that would be in the same situation as me, because I know there are a lot of children out there who don’t know their fathers, who have never seen their fathers.â€

I'd like to meet:
Lucky Dube!!
All Great Reggae Artists that have Blessed us over the years with their sound.
And All MY FRIENDS here in My SPACE who continue to Bless us with the gift of Music!!Senseless and random, the death of Lucky Dube leaves a great void in the music industry, as 25 years of music suddenly ends in tragedy.
South African born but globally revered, Lucky Dube was one of the country’s most toured and beloved artists ever. His music touched millions around the world, primarily through his 22 recorded albums - in Zulu, English and even Afrikaans - many of which have been record breakers with phenomenal sales from around the globe.
As a frontline artist in the reggae genre, Lucky's creativity and inventiveness kept growing.
Compelling in his musicianship and intriguing in his lyrical content, Lucky's sonic daring to take his genre to new heights never failed to amaze even the most ardent fans, whilst reigning in new devotees to his magic every day.
His energetic band toured with him from continent to continent as South African musical ambassadors, and his live performances have earned him fans and accolades the world over.
Lucky brought vibrancy to everything he did. An electrifying performer with an incredible octave range, poignant lyrics, flawless arrangements, and great body moves, Lucky was markedly different off stage. Low key, soft spoken, even shy with those he didn't know, he was compassionate, witty, funny and engaging. It's true, he neither smoked nor drank. "I don't do drugs and I don't do windows."His mission was to educate, entertain, and unite. His messages of togetherness, consciousness, respect, self-empowerment and peace always found an eager audience at the River. In the only two polls ever taken, Lucky was the people's top choice both times when asked who they wanted to see perform the following year.My hope is that he did not die in vain, that the final brutality he suffered will compel us all to listen with open hearts to his soul pouring out from his music, and to take action to make this world a better place for our children.Lucky, may your spirit dance in peace and may all those who loved you find solace, hope, and joy in a life well lived.Is One Fyah Heartical Pefected Love To One And All Through H.I.M His Imperial Majestical Emperor Haile SelassieI And Her Imperial Majestical Empress MenenI.

Create your Flash Crazy Text at expressmyspace.orgLucky Dube - Politicians will always divide people.
"Do you believe that we will have GLOBAL peace and freedom one day?""It's gonna be a difficult thing! Maybe it might even not happen, because this 'Oneness' and this peace, this 'One Love' we talk about maybe only exists in our mind. It doesn't really exist like in real life."
"Because politicians will always divide people, you know. Until such time that people get to understand that politicians are there only for five years or four years in some countries, I don't know."
"But the people in general have got a life time together. So we must not allow politicians really to mess up our lifetime togetherness just in their five years, which is what the song you talked about says.*
" 'How can five years of power destroy a lifetime of togetherness?' *, ya man."
"Guns and Roses" on Lucky Dube's album "Taxman".

"Going Back To My Roots"
Lucky Dube took African reggae to the highest level, and he was consistent.
"Most people are scared by Lucky's death. We don't appreciate the gift we have in human beings when they're alive. Record companies make a lot of money when you die. What's sadder is that Lucky made history with his music, but it's not recorded in the history of SA music. It's not mentioned with the likes of marabi and mbaqanga."Lucky Dube’s band, now called One People Band, is up and rocking again after their charismatic lead singer was killed in a hijacking.The 10-piece band, which has added a new member after Dube’s murder in a botched hijacking late last year, has been rocking audiences with the sounds that have made South Africa’s reggae king a star around the world.On Sunday entertainment-starved fans in Kimberley, Northern Cape, will have the opportunity to see the group at the Diamonds and Dorings Festival at the Langleg Pleasure Resort.Manager Linah Mochoele says: “We will rise to the occasion and people can’t expect the same standard that Lucky Dube set internationally.“The only difference will be that his fans will not be able to see him (Dube), but his voice will be represented well by that of band member Thuthukani Cele.â€The band had been renamed One People Band after the cover track of one of Dube’s albums.
