"On the Trail of my father"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu_prw4CUhA
from the intro...
This is a excerpt for a documentary film I shot and co-directed in 2007 following the journey of Thokozani Dube, the son of late South African reggae icon Lucky Dube. Thokozani his eldest son who was present in the car when is father was gunned down tries to come to grips with the lost of his father. He travels with his late father's tour manager to Jamaica meeting old friends and fellow musicians. He is embraced by thought-provoking stories about his father and the impact his fathers music had in the world. This film was shot on location in South Africa, London and Jamaica.

Thanks. Interesting. Didn't know him before.
Re: Lucky Dube - The Man and the Music (documentary)
Hi Hartmut,
I was introduced to his music by a friend from the Caribbean about 25 or more years ago...I hesitate to say this on the LC forum but seeing LD live might just have been my most memorable live concert ever made all the more memorable because I shared the occasion with some of my oldest friends.
I have posted his music a few times before but happy to post again....glad you enjoy it (or find it interesting)

Re: Lucky Dube - The Man and the Music (documentary)
Thank you for the additional songs!
Well, my statement was maybe a bit too reserved. Yes, I enjoyed it!Kush wrote: glad you enjoy it (or find it interesting)
Beautiful - and funny (not the lyrics, but the instrumentation)!Kush wrote: The Other Side

Lucky Dube is a live wire act who's performances transform heartbreak and often painful topics into joyous celebration ...this distance between the lyrics and performances is sometimes jarring...
