Performer Information

Few bands in music history have left as indelible a mark on reggae as Black Uhuru. Formed in 1972 in Kingston, Jamaica, by founding members Derrick “Duckie” Simpson and Garth Dennis, the group rose from Jamaica’s roots scene to global stages. As the Black Uhuru tour continues across festivals and clubs, their five-decade legacy includes more than 5 million albums sold worldwide. Landmark releases like Red (1981) and Anthem (1983) powered their early international rise and cemented their place in reggae history.

Anthem won the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, and Black Uhuru has earned seven total Grammy nominations. Their deep, roots-driven style and dub innovations influenced generations, carrying socially conscious lyrics and heavyweight rhythms to fans across the world.
