A Fair Dinkum Rasta
In OZ you will find all colours of dreads in reggae, you have purple dreads, and green dreads, and some colours I am not sure of. Dreads don’t only belong to Rasta’s anymore or even the the name Rastafari as their’s a hard rock band called, ‘Rastafarian Stage Divers’ to lesbian reggae bands and a band with a transvestite who is half dread and half women, I mean the hair styes as he turned his head side to side on stage.

South Africa - Lucky Dube Well Remembered
“But the level of shock around what happened hasn’t diminished. His passing stopped the whole nation. He has an enormous presence culturally and I think although South African audiences had overlooked him in a way in recent times, his stature is undeniable. Not a day goes by without me hearing his music. It was a great privilege to work with someone like him.”
