Playlist’s Song Pairing:

Black Uhuru, the legendary Jamaican reggae group, crafted their music in the 70s and 80s with lyrics that carried the weight of sociopolitical themes. Formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston, the band members experienced firsthand the struggles they sang about. Their music was a beacon of hope and resilience in a time of change, and they earned a Grammy for their groundbreaking sound.

"Sponji Reggae" pairs seamlessly with the Piñata wine from Frederick Stevenson. The wine, with its notes of sun-kissed berries, harmonizes with the song's upbeat rhythm, transporting you to a sunlit day on the beach. The lyrics, imbued with resilience and hope, mirror the dedication and love that Frederick puts into nurturing his vineyard.
