Sly Dunbar

Sly Dunbar

Lowell "Sly" Fillmore Dunbar was born on 10 May 1952, in Kingston, Jamaica.

Working together with Robbie Shakespeare, Sly and Robbie are considered one of the world's premier rhythm sections for their work in the field of reggae. They are considered originators of the "Rockers" rhythm. Dunbar & Shakespeare formed their Taxi Records label in 1980. It has seen releases from many international successful artists, including Black Uhuru, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Ini Kamoze, Beenie Man and Red Dragon.

Dunbar has played for The Aggrovators for record producer Bunny Lee; The Upsetters for Lee Perry, The Revolutionaries for Joseph Hoo Kim, and recorded for Barry O'Hare in the 1990s.

As a member of Word, Sound & Power, he backed Peter Tosh on his album, "Mystic Man".

Sly and Robbie also played on Bob Dylan's albums "Infidels" and "Empire Burlesque" (using recordings from the "Infidels" sessions).
