love, friendship and hardship, draws its lyrics and
rhythms from the harsh realities of life. Good, bad,
indifference, love, hatred, joy and suffering are what their
music is all about. Songs like "Jah Soldier", "Oppressor
Man" (dub poetry), "Fist to Fist", "Angel in Disguise",
"Moral Standards", "L ook At You Now" and "Wanted"
reflect the range of their songwriting talent.
ULCHA CULCHA's journey began many years ago in
Kingston, Jamaica on Stars Way, a street in Hughenden,
where both members – Terrence G. Swire aka Terro T
and Robert B. Spence aka Ajahni – resided. Terro T was
always singing, and his loud, rebellious voice would travel
out his living room window to the street where Ajahni
walked home from school. Their love of songwriting and
music soon brought them together and they formed the
group Solemn Fusion. Solemn Fusion was later joined
by Bruce Jabalon and Dwight McCrieth aka Dadda Russ,
affectionately called Rusty. Rusty, no longer of this earth,
is gone but never forgotten, God bless his soul. Solemn
Fusion released the single "On the Run".
Years later, after many turns on the road of life, Terro T
and Ajahni reunited in New York to form ULCHA
CULCHA.
Some of ULCHA CULCHA'S earlier musical influences
include Black Uhuru, Bob Marley, Steel Pulse,
Yellowman, Mutabaruka, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind
and Fire, Def Leppard, Queen and Aswad.
