Josie Robertson Plaza becomes an island oasis for Jamaica Day, a celebration of the nation’s many sounds and people. Headlining the evening’s festivities is Black Uhuru, one of reggae’s most enduring acts. Led by founding member Derrick “Duckie” Simpson, Black Uhuru’s blend of roots reggae, dub, and conscious lyricism has helped define reggae music for over 50 years, and won the group the inaugural GRAMMY Award for Best Reggae Album in the process. Today, Black Uhuru continues to uphold the legacy of roots reggae through new releases and captivating performances on international stages.
