Reggae Artiste Black Uhuru Biography by InfosysTV The most successful of the second-generation reggae bands, Black Uhuru maintained their high quality despite numerous personnel changes in their 40-plus-year history. The first reggae band to win a Grammy award, for their 1983 album Anthem, Black Uhuru was called "The most dynamic and progressive reggae act of the 1970s and early '80s." The band, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom," was formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston by Don Carlos, Rudolph "Garth" Dennis, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson. When the group experienced difficulties securing a record contract, Spencer left to pursue a solo career and Dennis joined the Wailing Souls. Simpson, who remained the thread throughout Black Uhuru's evolution, reorganized the band with Errol "Jay" Wilson and quivery-voiced lead vocalist Michael Rose.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards have reportedly killed 11 Kurdish rebels in a clash close to the border with Iraq.
Three Guards also died in the fighting, Iran's Fars news agency cited their commander in Kordestan province, Gen Mohammad Hossein Rajabi, as saying.
He said the rebels were linked to the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) and that the Guards had been tipped off when they crossed from Iraq.
The rebels were pursued for 10 days before they were killed, he added.
The PDKI has been striving for decades for autonomy for predominantly Kurdish areas in north-western Iran.

Kurdish villages 'shelled'

Gen Rajabi told Fars that the 11-strong group of "counter-revolutionaries" were "eliminated" in the Sarvabad region by Revolutionary Guards.
A PDKI commander called Kaveh Javanmard was among those killed, according to Brig Gen Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the Guards' ground forces.

It was not clear whether the 11 dead rebels included the five who the Guards said had been killed in clashes along the Iraqi border late on Saturday.
The PDKI said its fighters had come under attack from Iranian forces near the town of Mahabad, in West Azerbaijan province, on Friday afternoon and near Marivan, in Kordestan, on Saturday morning, Kurdish media reported.
The group also said Iranian forces had shelled several Kurdish border villages.
Gen Pakpour threatened on Sunday to launch cross-border raids on the PDKI.
"Since the main bases of these terrorists are in northern Iraq, if they don't follow through with commitments to stop these attacks, their bases will be targeted where they are," he said.
The estimated eight million Kurds in Iran, like other ethnic minorities, do not enjoy equal rights and the government consistently denies their right to use their languages in school, according to the US.
However, President Hassan Rouhani promised to open Kurdish-language centres during a visit to Mahabad on 1 June.
"The mother tongue of ethnic groups, especially of Kurds, should be respected and recognised," he said.
Mahabad was the capital of a short-lived Kurdish republic that was founded after World War Two and lasted 11 months.
