Lucky Dube | Affirmative action

UbuntuFM | Lucky Dube

A signature song

Affirmative action is no solution to solve inequality amongst people, whether it be between cultures, races or sexes. Education is. Primarily education about life, as Lucky Dube vocalizes it so eloquently in his signature song 'Affirmative Action'

Africa

Perkostylz' "Africa" is a prayer to the most high Jah about the way we live our lives. As if there are different Almighties for Africans and Europeans, yet, He is the only one. We are praying to the same God yet we Africans seem to be the forgotten ones.

Jimmy Cliff | A true story

UbuntuFM Africa | Jimmy Cliff | True Story

They gave us history, but what about the true story?

Hiding our heritage, to keep us into bondage.

They stole our culture, to say we got no future,
Destroyed our tradition, to keep us into subjection.

They took the natural living and turned it into artificial living.
They took the social living and turned it into socialism
They took the communal living and turned it into communism.
They took the capital living and turned it into capitalism.
