BLACK UHURU - TEAR IT UP

Recorded live on tour in Europe in 1981 and released in 1982 by Mango/Island Records, Tear It Up captures Black Uhuru at their raw, energetic best. With the powerhouse rhythm duo Sly Dunbar (drums) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass), along with guitarist Mikey Chung and percussionist Sky Juice, the band delivers eight blazing live renditions of reggae classics. Fronted by Michael Rose’s dynamic vocals and supported by harmonies from Puma Jones and Duckie Simpson, this LP blends roots, dub, and stage energy into a must-have piece for vinyl collectors and reggae fans alike.
