Black Uhuru - Live At Rockpalast "Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner" (live video)

Sly’s varied drum patterns, Robbie’s bass drive, the straight offbeat and Thompson’s warped guitar licks combined never had been heard in reggae before, a hypnotic wall of sound as basis for the revolutionary Rastafarian lyrics of Michael Rose, Puma Jones and Duckie Simpson, now and then interrupted by surprising echo effects. After the ROCKPALAST gig BLACK UHURU enjoyed worldwide success.

Im from U.K. and of Jamaican heritage and worked in Munich in 2013 and a co-worker asked me what music I liked. I said Reggae, he dropped a whole list of Reggae stars before even 2 came to mind 😳 he knew the old school reggae and dub stars and hits better than me! I was shocked. I only recently discovered there’s a town in Jamaica called Seaford which has an old German community that’s over 170 years old. These Germans came to Jamaica when Germany wasn’t even a country but was the Kingdom of Prussia. They are no strangers to the Carribbean, in particular Jamaica, 3 years ago I even discovered blood relations going several generations back to Germany, after that discovery, nothing surprises me anymore.

Back then when Jamaica had real musicians and talents Sly and Robbie play like computers Unbelievable hypnotic sound Real ganja music Some say cocaine reggae 😄 black uhuru like Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs also Michael Rose has a voice and a style that was so unique back then Nowadays it's just a pity No talents anymore Live shows are boring and sound all the same Jamaican music has gone down hill big time What a shame !

I saw B.U. in Phila in '19 & was mad as hell b/c i was hyped to see Robbie as well as Sly, but Robbie didnt perform that night & he filled in & i was very satisfied & impressed with him. I'm a huge reggae fan, but never heard of him. So thank you, i can look him up now. Oh, by the way, Sly TORE IT UP that night, the man is incredible.

[@timosnorthshore]

@@smoothoperator7023 Sly was incomprehensively incredible. I was mesmerized. Lloyd Parks did a lot of work with Dennis Brown. I hope you look him up and can learn about another legend. After the show I gave Sly an Equal Rights cassette to sign. As he grabbed it, Stepping Razor played over the speakers. Tosh was there with us!
