The World Show With Nicky B

We honour the late great Lucky Dube, one of South Africa's most significant international performers, this Sunday on The World Show.

As the day of Lucky's 60th birthday and the 35th anniversary of his seminal record "Prisoner" draw near, his son TK and two of his long-time bandmates, keyboardist Ras Thuthukani Cele and guitarist Skipper Shabalala, will be joining us.

The release of the album "Prisoner" by Lucky Dube marks a critical turning point in his career. When it was released in 1989, it was a turning point in South African history that coincided with the release of the Robben Island convicts and the Rivonia trialists, which gave its themes of justice and freedom more substance. It combined reggae rhythms with potent social criticism. kaya 959 · Kaya FM

Saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane will be joining us on The World Show this Sunday to celebrate the release of his new album, "Iladi."

"Iladi," which was produced by Nduduzo Makhatini and published on the esteemed Blue Note label, has Zulu roots and is a musical depiction of a profoundly spiritual ceremony as well as a statement of thanks. kaya 959 · Kaya FM

Nduduzo Makhathini, a piano, composer, philosopher, and healer from South Africa, will be joining us this Sunday on The World Show.

His eleventh studio album, "uNomkhubulwane," which honors the Zulu Goddess of the same name, will be celebrated on this occasion. The music not only traces the terrible history of oppression in Africa, but it also serves as an offering and an invitation to humanity to develop lifestyles that pursue balance and freedom. kaya 959 · Kaya FM

The World Show was streamed live from the incredible East African festival SAKIFO on Reunion Island this Sunday. To relive the event, I was joined by Stani Goma, the host of the renowned African music program "Flight 1067 To Africa" on PBS 106.7FM in Melbourne, Australia.

In celebration of its 20th anniversary, SAKIFO, along with the IOMMa music conference, brought together a wide range of performers, including international icons such as the French-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, the legendary singer-songwriter Danyel Waro of Reunion, the rising star Assa Mattuse of Mozambique, our very own Stogie-T, and many more!
