1989. Yeah, everyone remembers the year a roots reggae band out of Fredericton, New Brunswick started jamming its way across the Maritimes, on the way to becoming one of the hottest, best loved and most unique acts that has ever called the East Coast home. Well, maybe not everyone - but if you ever saw them play, you'll never forget it.

And though the end isn't really far away now, maybe this is where the story really begins. From 1990 through 1992, the Ujies played gig after gig across the Maritimes to a growing audience of die-hard fans, neophytes discovering reggae for the first time, and college kids and midnight revelers looking to get happy, party, and lose themselves in the music. And what music it was. Armed with far too many original songs to be able to play during a weekend's worth of concert, Ujamaa had virtually a new show each time you went to see them. They sang songs of freedom, songs of rebellion and sweet songs of love and tenderness - the music was always memorable.

The music below is compiled from these shows and captures the band at its absolute peak - tight, intense and electrifying, jamming long and hard to packed houses of simultaneously frenzied and enraptured audiences, and enjoying themselves every bit as much as the crowd. Live! At the Flamingo gives you Ujamaa at its raw, jamming best - catching fire live with the precision and passion that brought vibe-hungry audiences out to the shows again and again.
