- Synopsis:
Only a few months after the death of Bob Marley, the RockpalastST presented a reggae act in the Gruga-halle in Essen for the very first time: Black Uhuru was selected as the most innovative that Jamaica had to offer. 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 Rockplast gig Black Uhuru enjoyed worldwide success.
