Reggae Artiste Black Uhuru Biography

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.

Justin Bieber's Pants Fall Off as He's Booted From Mayan Ruins: Get the Details Justin Bieber performs during Power 96.1's Jingle Ball 2015. Chris McKay/WireImage What do you mean … he needs a belt? Justin Bieber 's pants fell down as security booted the star from Mayan ruins in Mexico on Thursday, January 7, for climbing a restricted archaeological site, a Mexican official confirms to Us Weekly. Bieber, 21, was visiting the seaside ruins of Tulum with a group of pals, including Hailey Baldwin — with whom he's more than just friends as witnessed on Instagram this past weekend — when the "Sorry" crooner apparently hopped the fence. Bieber stepped into a fenced-off restricted area and climbed up the ruins, the official tells Us . Security yelled at the pop superstar to get off the historical site, but the singer disregarded their demands and continued his ascent, ac

Islamic State militant 'executes own mother' in Raqqa

Islamic State militant 'executes own mother' in Raqqa An Islamic State militant carried out a public "execution" of his mother because she asked him to leave the group, activists say. Ali Saqr, 21, killed his mother, Lena al-Qasem, 45, outside the post office in Raqqa, Syria, eyewitnesses said. Raqqa has served as IS' de facto capital since the group captured the city in August 2013. IS does not tolerate any dissent and imposes brutal punishments, often carried out in public. The UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and the activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RIBSS) reported the incident. RIBSS however said that the woman was killed for the crime of apostasy. Lena al-Qasem had reportedly told her son that the US-led military alliance fighting IS would "wipe out" the group, and tried to convince him to leave the city with her. Her son is then said to have informed the group of her c

Mexican President Says Drug Kingpin “El Chapo” Guzman Caught By Authorities Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said Friday that authorities had recaptured Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel whose two escapes from maximum security prisons had baffled the world. “Mission accomplished: We have him,” Peña Nieto wrote on Twitter. Guzmán was arrested by elite Marine infantry units, a source in the office of the Mexican Attorney General told BuzzFeed News. Earlier today, the Mexican Navy issued a statement detailing a pre-dawn raid in Los Mochis, a small city in Sinaloa state. Five people, none of them law enforcement officers, were killed during the raid, which the Navys said was based on a tip. Six people were arrested, but they were not identified. The most wanted drug lord in the world, Guzmán became a source of embarrassment for Peña Nieto’s government after he escaped from prison in July 2014 by riding a motorcycle through a mile-lo

Cologne police chief removed after New Year Eve attacks The head of Cologne's police force is leaving his post "to restore public trust in the police" following scores of attacks on women in the city on New Year's Eve. The state interior minister said on Friday that he had placed Wolfgang Albers in temporary retirement. The police's handling of the night's events has been sharply criticised. The violence outside the main railway station has sparked a debate about Germany's open door policy on migrants. Gangs of men described as of North African and Arab appearance were reported to be behind the attacks. A large group, numbering around 1,000, had gathered inside and in front of the station in the western city. Victims described chaos as the men carried out dozens of sexual assaults and robberies with little apparent response from the authorities.
