With more than 22 albums and 20 awards internationally, South African music icon Lucky Dube is still one of the most streamed and celebrated artists across the continent.
Fifteen years after his passing, he continues to grow an international following, with his message and evergreen lyrics resonating across generations, ethnicity, religion and language.
To celebrate his life and the impact of his music across the world, the Lucky Dube Legacy Company is encouraging fans “to share the moment Lucky’s music mattered!”
“We know that Lucky’s music has had a deep and lasting personal impact on many of you. We also know that his music inspired hope, political and social activism in many places around the world – often the common unifier amongst those who heard and loved his music,” the company said.

This year, Lucky Dube would have turned 60, and his legacy company want to hear about the times made significant through his music.
“Maybe it was after listening to or seeing Lucky play live or even encountering him in person. Or maybe you shared a moment with a fellow fan by chance. It could be something that you experienced yourself or perhaps it is a story that you’ve heard from others.
“Whatever it is, no matter if it is big or small, we want to hear about it.”
The stories of his lucky fans could be selected to feature in a commemorative anthology of the musician’s life in music that will be made available world-wide.
It may also be featured in Lucky’s social media posts, as well as future projects, the company added.
To participate in this campaign, you can send a direct message (DM) via social media platforms of the Lucky Dube Legacy Company or send your stories via email.
