Guru Guru was an American rapper, producer, and a founding member of Gang Starr. Born on July 17, 1961 in Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts, he was of Trinidadian descent. He adopted the stage name "Guru," which stood for "Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal." With his unique style and lyrical prowess, Guru made a significant impact on the hip-hop scene.
Throughout his career, Guru collaborated with various artists and produced groundbreaking music that resonated with fans worldwide. His contributions to Gang Starr's success cannot be overstated as they helped shape the sound of East Coast rap during the 1990s.
Tragically, Guru passed away on April 19, 2010 in New York City at the age of 48. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his influential music and lasting impact on the genre. Fans continue to appreciate Guru's talent and recognize him as one of hip-hop's most gifted artists.

Stunning quality, rare live performance recordings of krautrock pioneers Guru Guru, from one of their earliest ever live concerts on Sunday October the 25th 1970. Three long slabs of prime classic psychedelic prog, two from the ‘UFO’ album and one off ‘Hinten’, show the band at their apex, defining a sound that had never been heard before. Sourced from tapes recorded directly from the sound desk at the show, the recording quality is phenomenal for something of this vintage era. The original line-up of Mani Neumeier – drums &amp; vocals, Ax Genrich – guitar and Uli Trepte – bass &amp; vocals, are present and on full power.

Guru Guru stood for space, psychedelic experience and electric magic. It stood for energy, imagination and freedom. Turn on, tune in, take off!
