Black Uhuru X Michael Rose - X Uhuru

This is the very first vinyl release of X Uhuru, the first and only album bringing together Michael Rose and Sly & Robbie after the golden years of the legendary Black Uhuru line-up between 1978 and 1984.

Recorded in the early 1990s, X Uhuru doesn’t just highlight the timeless brilliance of reggae - it elevates it with a modern touch, blending traditional roots with innovative sounds that resonate across generations. Rather than trying to recreate the old Black Uhuru sound, Sly & Robbie crafted a groundbreaking approach to accompany the legendary GRAMMY Award-winning voice of Michael Rose.

X Uhuru is a journey through a kaleidoscope of emotions and rhythms, where Michael Rose brings his iconic voice and powerful lyrics, skilfully weaving stories of freedom, resilience and unity. Sly & Robbie’s production delivers the unique and sophisticated TAXI sound, making this album a must for music lovers. Tracks like ‘Come Home’ feature subtle double-tempo echo effects, enough to make any aspiring junglist green with envy.
