Is it true that during his life in the 90s it's we Africans who pushed for his popularity and for him to be recognised as a true reggae artist? I heard that most reggae artists and fans from Jamaica the USA and Europe shunned his music and considered his music as somekind of African folk music. Though I read somewhere that his band in its early days started by making music in bakanga style which was popular in S.A in those days.
Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

Yes,all were caught and jailed for life.
The one who pulled the trigger allegedly felt remorseful that he didn't know the victim was Dube himself...he thought the victim was sone rich Nigerians from the neighborhood.

So so sad.

Yes,he started by playing Baganga style of music.
But if you are a reggae critic you will realize that his songs largely mirrors from the great Peter Tosh...the Stepping Razor!

Lucky Dube even said that he preffered Peter Tosh to Bob Marley

Me too I greatly prefer Tosh's songs as compared to Bob Marley.

The song "No Nuclear War" posthumously received a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1988.
Marley never received such award in his life and even posthumously.
