New York (NY), USA – Lucky Dube returns to New York in May 2007 to perform live at SOB’s (this is a venue change as he was sheduled to perform at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza) Wednesday May 23rd.
South African-born and globally revered, Lucky Dube is one of the country’s most toured and best-loved artists. As a prolific force in the South African music industry for over 20 years, Lucky’s music has touched millions, primarily through his over 20 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 keep growing from strength to strength.
Compelling in his musicianship and intriguing in his lyrical content, Lucky’s sonic daring to take his genre to new heights never fails to amaze even the most ardent fans, whilst bringing in new devotees to his magic every day. His energetic multi-piece band has toured with him from continent to continent as South African musical ambassadors, and his live performances have earned this singer, songwriter and producer fans and accolades wherever he goes.
His albums Prisoner, Captured Live, Slave, Together As One and his upcoming release, Respect, are all reggae masterpieces.
