Black Uhuru is a legendary Roots Reggae group that was formed in 1972 in Kingston, Jamaica. They are widely regarded as one of the most popular reggae acts ever and were the first to win a Grammy. The group was founded by Derrick "Duckie" Simpson, Don Carlos, and Rudolph "Garth" Dennis. In the '80s, Black Uhuru rose to international fame when they joined forces with the renowned rhythm section of Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare and had Michael Rose as their lead singer. Following Rose's departure, young talents like Junior Reid and Andrew Bees took over.
