Black Roots began their musical journey in 1979. They are based in the St Paul’s area of Bristol England. Jabulani Ngozi, one of the guitarists in the band, recalls in an interview he gave in 2004 to a French record label called Makasound, that Black Roots was formed by a group of friends that had known each other from the 60’s. They had been playing in different bands doing cover versions but after a discussion during a game of dominoes they decided to form their own band on condition that they only played original material and so Black Roots started to take shape.
