About this Event
Black Uhuru
Black Uhuru were the first group to win a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album and has been setting the gold standard for roots reggae for over 50 years — delivering hypnotic basslines, razor-sharp rhythms, and harmonies that carry both protest and praise. Formed in Kingston, Jamaica in 1972, they became the first reggae band to win a Grammy, helping take the sound of Jamaica to the world. Their music is a masterclass in groove and message, from the rebel spirit of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner to the anthemic pulse of Sponji Reggae. Still fronted by founding member Duckie Simpson, Black Uhuru’s live shows are a high-energy journey through reggae history, blending timeless hits with fresh fire. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering them, expect deep rhythms, conscious lyrics, and a night that feels like Kingston under the lights.
