In addition to reissuing this album in its original version, we've remastered the original soundtracks for both vinyl and CD to give this legendary album even more sparkle.

Black Uhuru est l'un des groupes les plus emblématiques et influents de l'histoire du reggae jamaïcain. Fondé en 1972 à Kingston, le groupe a joué un rôle majeur dans la diffusion du reggae à l'international, notamment grâce à des sons révolutionnaires mêlant rythmes roots traditionnels et touches de dub et de rock. Avec des voix puissantes et des textes engagés, Black Uhuru a marqué les esprits en abordant des thèmes comme la justice sociale, l'unité africaine et la spiritualité rasta. Au fil des décennies, le groupe a traversé plusieurs évolutions, mais il reste une figure de proue du reggae, ayant remporté le tout premier Grammy Award pour le meilleur album de reggae en 1985.
