As a tribute to the genius life
of South-African legend Lucky Dube, Rykodisc has released the two-disc
Retrospective. This ‘digipack’ contains a 13-song disc featuring
songs never before released outside of South
Africa, a bonus DVD featuring the 90-minute Lucky Dube Live in Concert,
as well as
five music videos never released in the U.S. The album is curated by
noted world music
figure Tom Schnabel, a KCRW radio host based in Los Angeles, CA.
Lucky Dube was callously shot
and killed during an alleged carjacking on October 18, 2007, in a
Johannesburg suburb. The inspiring career of the 43-year-old national
hero ended in its prime, followed by a profound sadness in the African
nation that
was felt around the world.
