Shortly after Bob Marley's passing, the ROCKPALAST showcased reggae at Essen's Grugahalle for the first time, challenging the belief that reggae was fading. BLACK UHURU, Jamaica's most innovative group apart from dancehall, was chosen. In 1974, Duckie Simpson, Don Carlos, and Garth Dennis founded "Black Freedom," with "Uhuru" meaning "freedom" in Swahili. However, before their first album, Dennis left for the WAILING SOULS, and Don Carlos pursued a solo career. Simpson recruited Errol Nelson and Michael Rose. Rose introduced them to Prince Jammy, who agreed to produce an album. In 1977, "Love Crisis" debuted, and Puma Jones replaced Nelson. After two albums, Jammy remixed and re-released their work as "Black Sounds Of Freedom" on Greensleeves. BLACK UHURU had evolved into a quintet with SLY & ROBBIE, departing from reggae's traditional one-drop beat. Their live lineup included guitarist Daryl Thompson and keyboardist Franklyn "Bubbler" Waul. Sly's drumming, Robbie's bass, Thompson's guitar, and Waul's offbeat piano created a unique sound. After their ROCKPALAST performance, BLACK UHURU achieved global success with three more albums. Michael Rose left due to alleged jealousy from Duckie Simpson and was replaced by Junior Reid. They scored UK Top 10 hits and released "Brutal" and "Positive." Puma Jones passed away in 1990, and SLY & ROBBIE stepped back. Duckie Simpson, holding the BLACK UHURU name rights, reunited with Don Carlos and Garth Dennis, releasing albums but not achieving their '80s success. Dub mixes were released during their peak, but none matched the quality and energy of their 1981 ROCKPALAST performance.
