Sly and Robbie Concert Tickets
Enjoy Sly and Robbie tickets at your fingertips thanks to TicketSmarter. A cornerstone of Jamaican music for over 40 years, Sly And Robbie were important figures in shaping reggae's languid rhythms and grooves and became leading producers as the genre evolved into dub, dancehall and ragga. Both made their names as young session musicians in Kingston; Sly as a drummer and Robbie as a bass player, before they were united in 1975 by producer JoJo Hookim to work as the rhythm section for his studio band The Revolutionaries.
Their mutual love of Motown and soul created a signature sound that helped score hits for Jimmy Cliff, The Mighty Diamonds, Peter Tosh and Culture and they were even asked to produce albums for French crooner Serge Gainsbourg. The duo were at the forefront as roots reggae turned to digital and electronic programming in the 1980s, and were key members of Compass Point, a recording studio and group set up by Island Records as a reggae equivalent to Nashville.
They experimented with an eclectic range of styles on debut The Sixties + Seventies + Eighties = Taxi (1981), received widespread critical acclaim for Rhythm Killers (1987) and scored a small hit in the UK with Boops (Here To Go), later sampled by Robbie Williams on his track Rudebox; but their reputation grew mainly as producers for Black Uhuru, Grace Jones and Mick Jagger.
They later collaborated with Simply Red on a version of Gregory Isaacs' Night Nurse and worked with Queen Latifah and KRS-One on Silent Assassin (1989), before later remixing acts as diverse as Britney Spears, Bob Dylan, Madonna and Marianne Faithful. Still working and performing, the pair are recognised as true innovators and icons of Jamaican music. The demand for Sly and Robbie tickets speaks to a trend of world music artists reaching a growing audience.
