Live in Uganda

South African born but globally revered, Lucky Dube was one of the country's most toured and beloved artists ever. His music touched millions around the world, primarily through his 22 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 kept growing. Compelling in his musicianship and intriguing in his lyrical content, Lucky's sonic daring to take his genre to new heights never failed to amaze even the most ardent fans, whilst reigning in new devotees to his magic every day.

Lucky Dube and his band's performances were hugely popular all over the world including the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, The Caribbean, Africa and especially Uganda. Lucky toured a few times to Uganda, always playing to packed stadiums in Kampala.

The show on this CD is the last time Lucky performed in Uganda in 2004, it is also the only time a recording was done of his work in Uganda. He was welcomed at the airport when he landed by thousands of fans and the streets were lined with people, all the way to the hotel, about a 30 minute drive. Fans on bicycles and motorbikes also followed the convoy all the way to the hotel, trucks with sound systems were playing his music, and it was joyous chaos. Lucky had an amazing ability to bring people together and the show on this CD is one of those occasions where Lucky and his band's electrifying performance left the audience mesmerized.
