It was seventeen years ago today Lucky Dube was killed in a carjacking outside of Johannesburg, but his music lives on. My dad and I like to listen to Lucky together late into the evenings when I visit, like we did last weekend and I couldn't help but think it's a shame that he's not more popular. For lots of Americans Reggae begins and ends with Bob Marley, understandably, but Lucky is just a tier below and was stellar. To me, it's his voice that is impactful, it really makes me feel something.
