Michael Rose / Sly & Robbie

This is the very first vinyl release of X Uhuru, the first and only album bringing together Michael Rose and Sly and Robbie after the golden years of the legendary Black Uhuru line-up between 1978 and 1984.

Recorded in the early 1990s, X Uhuru doesn’t just highlight the timeless brilliance of reggae - it elevates it with a modern touch, blending traditional roots with innovative sounds that resonate across generations.

X Uhuru is a journey through a kaleidoscope of emotions and rhythms, where Michael Rose brings his iconic voice and powerful lyrics, skilfully weaving stories of freedom, resilience and unity. Sly and Robbie’s production delivers the unique and sophisticated Taxi sound, making this album a must for music lovers. Tracks like ‘Come Home’ feature subtle double-tempo echo effects, enough to make any aspiring junglist green with envy.
