Sly & Robbie playing Drum & Bass in Black Uhuru concert in Essien in 1981. The rythm twins are some of the most talented musicians in the world, and more people are going to start realizing that. When Sly starts playing on Robbie's bass it's totally wicked man.

About Sly and Robbie

Sly and Robbie were a prolific Jamaican rhythm section and production duo, associated primarily with the reggae and dub genres. Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare teamed up in the mid-1970s after establishing themselves separately in Jamaica as professional musicians. They recorded several albums under the Sly and Robbie name, and made hundreds of appearances on records by other performers.
