Performer: Lucky Dube
Distributor: Phantom Import Distributi Notes: TRINITY was recorded by South African reggae musician Lucky Dube. As a reggae classic, Trinity harks back to the early days of roots reggae. Even though this album was recorded in the '90s, its lovely harmonies, overtly political lyrics, and spiritual vibe recall a time in the early 70s when reggae was a definite part of a spiritual/political movement. Dube's fabulously aching vocals float through the CD, artfully carrying his message of redemption and healing. All of the tracks deliver good, solid reggae rhythms, but the standouts are the title song, which boasts gospel overtones and a message of racial unity and "Big Boys Don't Cry," a melancholy love song that showcases his emotional range as well as his South African mbaqanga roots. ~ Rosalind Cummings-Yeates
Q (7/95, p.120) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Lucky Dube moves into the brave new world with an album that scorns the easy certainties of colour and race....The music mixes old-style reggae with a few surprises..."
