The first reggae band to win a Grammy award, for their 1983 album, "Anthem", Black Uhuru was, according to "Reggae: The Rough Guide", "The most dynamic and progressive reggae act of the 1970s and early 1980s".
Black Uhuru, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom", was formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston by Ervin "Don Carlos" Spencer, Rudolph "Garth" Dennis and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson.
Their first album for Taxi, Showcase, later reissued as Vital Selection, gave equal prominence to the vocal and instrumental versions of songs such as 'General Penitentiary', 'Shine Eye Gal' and 'Abortion', and was a massive reggae seller.

 TrouserPress.com :: Black Uhuru
(Black Sounds of Freedom is a remix of the same album.) After American expatriate Puma (Sandra) Jones joined to add haunting high harmony, Black Uhuru joined forces with Sly and Robbie; their riddims pushed the singing along with the force of a tank.
A live album (Tear It Up) recycles a lot of the material from Showcase and is only a so-so approximation of their in-concert excitement.
She was one of the great women of reggae, Rasta, fl pride and women's rights, and one of the only females to be part of a predominantly male group that reached such international acclaim.

Over, under, and around the band, the electronic effects whoosh, pulling the album from its island roots, and planting it firmly in an international environment.
This is most notable on the title track, which blends rootsy rhythms with a dance beat, and urban stylings with a tinge of world music.
If the album's A-side is weighted more towards the crossover crowd, the flip is rootsier in orientation, even if it, too, is awash in electronics.

 Chill Out by Black Uhuru CD
Clearly one of Black Uhuru's most essential offerings, CHILL OUT is also required listening for fans of early-80s roots reggae as a whole.
While the album may not have quite the notoriety of ANTHEM, it still serve up a solid nine cuts of this seminal Black Uhuru lineup (Michael Rose, Duckie Simpson, and Puma Jones with Sly & Robbie).
CHILL OUT serves as perhaps the quintessential example of the pure, socially conscious Rasta sound of the era.

The exuberance of their Rastafarian faith was uplifting; their songs evoked not only Kingston but the equally mean streets of Brooklyn and Brixton; their firm stand against sexism was refreshing; and, to top it off, their partners were reggae's most creative producers, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.
The pride with which the group sang, "I and I Black Uhuru/Stand fine burn" was utterly justified.
Chill Out is overdubbed and doctored to death with synthesized whooshes and whistles and Vocoderized vocals.

 Black Sounds Of Freedom Music CD is available from Bestprices.com
This record is Black Uhuru's first album (though a few very rare singles appeared prior) and is produced by the often-overlooked Prince Jammy.
Founder Duckie Simpson was seemingly at a loss when Black Uhuru's first incarnation broke up in the early '70s; however, he was subsequently able to convince Michael Rose (aka Mykal Rose) to join the group, which is where the magic began.
BLACK SOUNDS OF FREEDOM is certainly a worthwhile addition to any collection.

 JR.com: Black Uhuru - Anthem [Remaster] in Music: Roots Reggae:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
ANTHEM provides the classic Black Uhuru sound from start to finish, with a very flowing, unified feel among the tracks.
"Solidarity" and "Botanical Roots" provide a similarly powerful vibe, and the album reaches its apex on the reggae classic "Black Uhuru Anthem" ("I and I are the living dread, / This is the dawn of the living dead").
Over the course of their next three albums, Black Uhuru endeavored to take roots reggae into the future with a militant style that informed their lyrics, music, and onstage presentation, transcending many of the genre's limitations in the process.
