BRIEF DESCRIPTION
LUCKY DUBE/TOGETHER AS ONE/LYRIC
In my whole life
My whole life
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
Too many people
Hate apartheid
Why do you like it?
Why do you like it?
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
The cats and the dogs
Have forgiven each other
What is wrong with us?
What is wrong with us?
All those years
Fighting each other
But no solution
But no solution
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese
Hey you rasta man
Hey European, Indian man
We've got to come together as one
Not forgetting the Japanese

Apart from this, at the early part of his musical career, he was an integral part of his cousin`s musical band called ‘The Love Brothers’. He also played Zulu pop music known as mbaquanga before discovering Rastafari movement at school.
His inspiration for Reggae music was drawn from Jamaican socio-political messages and stars like: Jimmy Cliff , Peter Tosh amongst many others.
