Recording information: Standard Bank Arena. Unknown Contributor Role: Slaves. Though not as well known as Bunny Wailer or Dennis Brown, Lucky Dube is a first-class reggae champion who commands a loyal following. The South African singer, whose music illustrates the power and effectiveness of simplicity, isn't one to jump on trends. While other reggae singers have incorporated elements of dancehall and hip-hop, Dube wisely sticks with the type of basic, simple reggae that made him popular to begin with. No Dube followers should be without Captured Live. From moving originals like "Truth in the World," "Going Back to My Roots" and "Together as One" to an immensely enjoyable cover of Bob Marley's "One Love," this is arguably his strongest album. Consisting of mostly South African players, Dube's band brings traces of African music to Dube's songs that, although subtle, add to their richness. ~ Alex Henderson |
