We're coming to you live from Lincoln Center, in New York, NY, for its Summer for the City series. This concert features the GRAMMY Award-winning reggae ensemble Steel Pulse, as part of Lincoln Center's celebration of Jamaica Independence Day. Founding members David Hinds and Selwyn Brown will perform tracks from the band's formidable catalog.
Steel Pulse has helped to popularize the reggae diaspora across the US and Europe. From the success of their 1978 debut single "Ku Klux Klan," the band has addressed controversial topics of racial injustice and human rights with lyrics that remain as relevant today as they were at the beginning of their career.
Hailing from Birmingham, England, the group's 40-year revolutionary journey of clever orchestration and potent instrumental melody continues to define the magnificent power and beauty of reggae music.
