Emotional Slaughter - Black Uhuru

From the production, "Black Uhuru Alive".
This was a memorable concert held at the (original) Ritz in New York City, on June, 11 1986.
Black Uhuru, in this incarnation, consisted of founder Duckie Simpson, Junior Reid and the incomparable Puma Jones. The band on this particular tour, featured Santa Davis on drums, Earl (Chinna) Smith on guitar, Chris Meredith on bass, Anthony (Asher) Brissett on keyboards and Sky Juice on percussion.

I uploaded this tonight without realizing that October 5th was Puma's birthday. Although this is Duckie's song, Puma's performance here is transcendent...it seems her spirit is very much alive.

Special thanks to the crew—cameramen: Jefferson Miller, Jabari and Bill Megalos, engineer: Dan Epstein, camera assistants: Stuart Sporn and Orville Bennett, sound engineer Steve Remote, lighting designer Edgar Gordon, and of course, visionary director, Stafford Ashani, may he rest in peace, my partner in Reggae Strong for many years.

Portions of of this video were shot in Jamaica in 1987.
