Lucky Dube, definitely one of Jah Warriors in the struggle against downpression, injustice and wickedness. Being from South Africa and having experienced the state racism of Apartheid first-hand, his lyrics deal with crucial topics that -as these things go inna Babylon- obviously attracted the attention of the evil one(s). More than Alpha Blondy, Lucky Dube combines Rastafari Consciousness and Reggae Music in his works of art. Not in the least, because Africa is more considered to be a land than a continent, and to many within Reggae Music represents the land of Creation, obviously inspired by the Movement of Rastafari that helped shape the music. Although the two singers can not be compared because they have their own specific style, it is a fact that African Reggae takes a special place in the music and attached culture worldwide. Alpha Blondy and Lucky Dube are widely considered to be the main representatives of Reggae Music from the Mother Land.
