About This Event

Experience an unforgettable night with Black Uhuru at The Warehouse at FTC located at 70 Sanford Street, Fairfield, CT 06824. Join us on Wednesday, October 1 at 8pm EDT (doors open at 7pm) for a vibrant evening of roots reggae that has captivated audiences for over five decades.

As the first group to win a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, Black Uhuru has set the gold standard for reggae music worldwide. Originating from Kingston, Jamaica in 1972, they pioneered the global reach of Jamaican sound with hypnotic basslines, razor-sharp rhythms, and harmonies that seamlessly blend protest and praise. Their legendary hits, from the rebellious energy of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner to the anthemic Sponji Reggae, continue to inspire and move audiences around the globe.

Currently fronted by founding member Duckie Simpson, Black Uhuru’s live performances are a high-energy journey through reggae history. Expect a dynamic mix of timeless classics and fresh fire that will keep the crowd dancing all night long. Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering their iconic sound for the first time, this is a night to immerse yourself in deep rhythms, conscious lyrics, and the vibrant spirit of Kingston under the lights.
