Followers of the Jamaica-based Rastafarian religion dream of someday returning to their African roots. Lucky Dube is already there as South Africa's most vocal rastaman, his voice brings a message of hope and harmony to a troubled country. His full-bodied blend of roots reggae and township soul evokes a strong response across barriers of race, culture and political persuasion. A true proponent of national unity, Dube performs music that includes Zulu soul, urban jive, traditional Afrikaans folk music-under the pseudonym Oom Hansie-and reggae.
