BLACK
UHURU - YOUTHS OF EGLINGTON (LIVE, UK, 1981)
WWW,
October 2007 - Michael Rose, Puma Jones
and Duckie Simpson during the most successful
days of Black Uhuru, backed up by an
all-star band.
Black Uhuru was formed in the 1970's, subsequently
changed membership and when Sly and Robbie became
attached to the name Black Uhuru just as much as
the singers themselves, things really started to
roll.
The music became a Sly and Robbie project, in
which they would and could express their
continuous progressive view on the music. They
would incorporate rock, electronica and all of
this would be done in such a way that even the
most conservative Reggae fan would not be able to
deny the massive work called Black Uhuru.
In this video, we will meet with the group as
they tour in the UK during 1981. A year wherein
Black Uhuru would perform with an all-star band
throughout Europe and the rest of the world in
order to entertain a very diverse audience.
