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.

With their unique sound and powerful lyrics, Black Uhuru has captivated audiences worldwide. Their music is deeply rooted in Jamaican culture and carries messages of love, unity, and social justice. Influenced by artists such as Israel Vibration, Culture, Steel Pulse, Bunny Wailer, and many others from the reggae scene.
