Black Uhuru is one of the most popular and successful reggae groups to come out of Kingston, Jamaica’s “Waterhouse” district. “As The World Turns,” their new release, was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 61st annual Grammy Awards.

Founding band member Derrick “Duckie” Simpson leads the group along with Oneil “Andrew Bees” Beckford (lead singer) and their seven-piece band.
