A San Francisco band that built a following with raw live energy and songs like 'Pure Sugar'.
For a good sense of their approach, try 'Born Free' or 'Your Voice'. Both show how they handle social themes and spirituality without losing that reggae foundation.
They came together in the late 1980s as The Reggae Ambassadors, working within the West Coast reggae scene. Their sound leans on traditional reggae but pulls in bits of soul and funk, with tracks like 'Shake Up The Place' keeping a straightforward foundation while letting other influences come through naturally.
They started in San Francisco in the late 1980s, originally calling themselves The Reggae Ambassadors. The band's lineup has shifted over time, with members including vocalist David Hinds, bassist Michael Henderson, and keyboardist Dan Marley.
