Azizi, I do live in SOuth AFrica.

Reggae is enormous here, because Rasta is a very popular religion. Bob Marley enjoys the status of a demi-god. But it has been mutated into many offshoots of the original - it has been imported into a kind of hybrid SA hip-hop, and is also very prominent in rap. Radio stations and TV music programmes play it endlessly. The result is a weird marriage of Jamaican-style reggae with African instruments, and then lyrics in vernacular black languages. But it is not the only music flooding the waves here. As I said earlier, House music (which is a bastardisation of '70s disco, with very prolonged tracks and ingenious mixes by DJs) is also huge. And then, of course, there is hip-hop.
The review on Lucky Dube is accurate enough regarding his background. Most black artists began in very makeshift township circumstances, and mbaqanga (a form of township jazz) has been the platform for a lot of them. Dube is still active, though he is not as popular any longer. He has been overtaken to a large extent by the new generation of artists. The music industry has changed a great deal since his heyday. Hip-hop has splintered into lots of genres like Afro-pop, ghetto hip-hop, etc.
I would be inclined to query the assertion that his two hits were the "biggest selling ever" in South AFrica. I think that is untrue.
For the devotees of more conventional Reggae (a la Tosh and Marley), Lucky Dube is still a big name. But he cannot attract the same kind of attention as, say, Arthur Mafokate (solid hip-hop), Freshlyground, Nthando (Afro-pop), Zola, Judith Sephuma (gospel), Zamajobe (Afro-pop/soul), Skwatta Kamp, Kabelo (kwaito - hard-core township-based pop, using lyrics about the township in township slang) and others.

It is a very exciting time,creatively, in this country. Generations of youngsters are revelling in the freedoms of the new SA, but it is still a very embyronic stage. Music genres change every day. Artists come and go overnight.

Hugh Masekela, of course, is still an enormous name - and still pulls the same crowds wherever he appears. He is also still releasing albums very regularly. He really is a phenomenon in his own right.
