Black Uhuru – Black Sounds of Freedom
Originally released in 1977, Black Sounds of Freedom is the debut album by legendary reggae group Black Uhuru. Produced by Prince Jammy, it features a stripped-back, roots reggae style that laid the foundation for the band’s later success. Tracks like I See You and Satan Army Band combine militant rhythms with spiritual themes and conscious lyrics. This early lineup, featuring Don Carlos and Garth Dennis, showcases a raw yet powerful sound. A vital record for fans of classic roots reggae, and a fascinating glimpse into the band’s evolving legacy.
