One People Band ADD
The “One People” band rose from the ashes of pain caused by the tragic passing of their talented and charismatic leader, Lucky Dube in October 2007. Stepping up to the microphone is the amiable and equally charming Thuthukani Cele, and “Thuthu” as he is known to his fans is doing a remarkable job bringing Lucky Dube’s prophetic words to local audiences who have suddenly developed an insatiable appetite for the tunes, devouring each word and nuance. The band has now performed in numerous major festivals in South Africa receiving standing ovations with each performance.
The band has also recently collaborated with the renowned Freshly Ground and Kwela Tembza on a tribute to Lucky Dube at Sun City. In 2008 Gallo Record Company signed the band as “One People” and the recording of a new album containing their new, original material is underway.
The 10-piece band has been rocking audiences with the sounds that have made South Africa’s reggae king Lucky Dube a star around the world. Who are they?
