BIOGRÁFIA

(alapító tagok: Garth Dennis | Ducky Simpson | Don Carlos)

A megalakult együttes Uhuru néven felvett egy Curtis Mayfield számot, a "Romancing To The Folk Song"-ot. Aránylag kis sikert ért el. Garth Dennis átment a Wailing Souls együttesbe, Don Carlos pedig szóló munkába kezdett.

Így az egyedül maradt Ducky Simpson felvette Michael Rose-t és Errol Nelson-t (a Jayes együttesből) és végleges nevet választott a bandának: Black Uhuru. Ezzel a felállással rögzítették 1977-ben Prince Jammy-nél a Love Crises lemezt, amit később Black Sounds Of Freedom néven újra kiadtak.

Ezután Errol Nelson visszatért a Jayes-be. Helyette egy hölgy, Puma Jones lépett be az együttesbe. Ez a harmadik felállás Sly Dunbar és Robbie Shakespeare stúdiójában kezdett munkához, nem kis sikerrel. Első lemezük a Showcase volt, mely később több kiadást is megért különböző neveken. Ezen szerepeltek: a "General Penitentiary", "Shine Eye Gal" és az "Abortion" című dalok. Ezután leszerződtek az Island kiadóhoz, Sly és Robbie pedig beszállt ideiglenesen az együttesbe, hogy szolgáltassák a kemény basszust és a hihetetlen "rockers" dob ritmust.

Így koncertezték körbe a világot. Az Island által kiadott Anthem c. lemezük arról híres, hogy ez volt az amelyik megnyerte az első reggae Grammy-díjat 1985-ben.

Ez volt az az év is, amikor Michael Rose jobbnak látta odébb állni és szóló karrierjét újrakezdeni. Helyére Junior Reid lépett, aki a jamaicai dancehall téren volt közismert. Így nem sok jóval kecsegtette a Black Uhuru rajongótábort. Néhány lemez után visszatért ő is szóló karrierjéhez.

1990-ben Puma Jones meghalt rákban, így az eredeti felállás (Don Carlos, Ducky Simpson és Garth Dennis) ismét összejött egy lemez erejéig, melyet Now címmel adtak ki.

A 90-es években is aktív az együttes. Jelenlegi énekesük Andrew Bees, aki valahol Michael Rose és Junior Reid hangzása között van. A Black Uhuru mindig is egy nagyszerű együttes volt, annak ellenére, hogy soha nem érte el azt a nemzetközi elismerést, amit megérdemelt volna.
