Black Uhuru with Trinity Sound in Portland

Reggae legends Black Uhuru bring their iconic sound to Portland's Star Theater for an evening of roots music. Founded by Derrick "Duckie" Simpson in Kingston's Waterhouse district, the band has been a global force for over 45 years, known for hits like "I Love King Sellassie" and "Shine Eye Gals." Their deep bass, sharp keyboards, and signature harmonies create a classic live experience.

Attendees can expect a high-energy set from the current lineup of Duckie Simpson, Andrew Bees, and Elsa Green, backed by Trinity Sound. Black Uhuru made history as the first winners of the Grammy for Best Reggae Album with *Anthem* in 1984, and have since earned multiple nominations. Their music has appeared in films and video games, and they've toured the world, opening for the Rolling Stones and the Police.

This is a rare chance to see a band that has shaped reggae for decades, performing in an intimate venue. With a legacy of 14 studio albums and a reputation as ambassadors of reggae, Black Uhuru promise a night of powerful musical storytelling.
