Bio Uruhu Sound



In 2001 Jamal and Jafuego decided to start a series of reggae and ragga parties, named More Fire, and thus formed the basics of Uruhu Sound. Later on Uruhu Sound was joined by Pablo, the current mc.



Over 5 years, Uruhu sound is been recognised as one of the major players in the Belgian Dancehall scene. Their own party concept 'More Fire' is one of the biggest dancehall events in Flanders for the moment and has always an international lige-up. Subionic Sound, Sentinel 'the Everlastin', David Rodigan, Gramigna, Supersonic, Silverstar are a few to have played on a MoreFire gig.

Doing so, Uruhu sound has had always contacts with local Belgian sounds.



Not only their own parties are a huge succes, the sound itself is often a guest at several important gigs. Uruhu has opened shows for Jah Mason, Turbulence and Jr Kelly and has performed twice at the biggest reggae festival in Belgium, called Reggae Geel. They've also taken part in several clashes : local and beyond. In 2003 they organised a reggae-event in the Folk Centre (Dranouter Belgian, which organises one of the biggest festivals in Belgium called 'Folkfestival Dranouter') with General Levy (UK) as live act.

One other sort of events that we've organised, the Higher Level parties, were located in the city of Ghent.



Allthough Uruhu sound has been playing a major role, we're convinced that we could do so much more. Our corporation with local and international artists are just a part of this philosophy.
