Black Uhuru - Liberation: Island Anthology - Music & Performance - CD

Import only two CD compilation from one of the most important and influential Reggae bands of the 1970s and '80s.

Liberation stands as a retrospective of the band's Island years, and a near-comprehensive sampler of their peak material.

Led by the stirring, distinctive tenor of Michael Rose and the backing vocals of Sandra quot;Pumaquot; Jones and Derrick quot;Duckiequot; Simpson, Black Uhuru combined a militant political consciousness, traditional Rasta themes, roots rhythms, and a sophisticated sound for a fresh take on the genre.

All the group's best tracks are here, including quot;sponji Reggaequot;, quot;Chill Outquot;, and quot;Sinsemillaquot;, and Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare's production and drum and bass contributions (critical to the band's sound) are in full flower.
