Biography

Black Uhuru, a prominent second-generation reggae band from Jamaica, maintained a high standard of quality despite numerous lineup changes over the years. Led by Derrick "Duckie" Simpson, the group achieved significant success in the 1970s and '80s, becoming the first reggae band to win a Grammy for their 1983 album Anthem. Originally formed in 1972 in Kingston's Waterhouse district, the band, whose name means "freedom" in Swahili, underwent various transformations before reclaiming their original sound in the early '90s.

With Simpson as the constant driving force, Black Uhuru redefined reggae music with their dynamic and progressive sound, featuring talented musicians such as Michael Rose, Sly Dunbar, and Robbie Shakespeare. Despite internal conflicts and legal battles over the band name, Simpson continued to lead Black Uhuru into the new millennium, showcasing their enduring influence on the reggae genre with the release of 2001's Dynasty.
