ULCHA CULCHA’s members Terrence G. Swire aka Terro T and Robert B. Spence aka Ajahni journey began years ago in Kingston, Jamaica on Stars Way, a street in Hughenden where both , , resided. Terro T was always singing, and his loud rebellious voice would travel out his living room window to the street where Ajahni walked home from school. Their love of songwriting and music soon brought them together and they formed the group, Solemn Fusion. Solemn Fusion was later joined by Bruce Jabalon and Dwight McCrieth aka Dadda Russ, affectionately called Rusty. Rusty is gone but not forgotten, God bless his soul.

Solemn Fusion released the single “On the Run” in the early 1990s. They did several stage shows in Jamaica with artistes such as Buju Banton and Luciano. They performed at then-famous Epiphany night club in Kingston and on one performance were backed by City Heat Band. At that time, City Heat lead singers were Diana King and Gary “Nesta” Pine.

Years later, after many turns on the road of life, Terro T and Ajahni reunited in the United States. In 2005, they formed Ulcha Culcha. Ulcha Culcha is a vocal reggae group born from love, friendship and hardship. Ajahni and Terro T draw their lyrics and rhythms from the harsh realities of life. Good, bad, indifference, love, hatred, joy and suffering are what their music is all about. Songs like “Babylon Controlment”, “Wanted”, “Tired”, “Oppressor Man” (dub poetry), “Jah Soldier”, “Look at You Now”, “Fist to Fist”, “Hold On”, “Help” and “Moral Standards” reflect the range of their songwriting talent. “Wanted” was the number one requested song on Black Roots Radio for over four weeks.

Ulcha Culcha has performed at numerous shows in the U.S.

Ulcha Culcha’s eagerly awaited album “Babylon Controlment” is well on its way to being an instant reggae classic with noted musical geniuses, Derrick Barnett, Rupert Bent III and Ed Robinson, working with Ulcha Culcha. “Fist to Fist”, a collaboration with DJ Tilly Beng Beng, is the first release from this monster album. The music video reflects Ulcha Culcha’s anti-gun violence stance and can be seen on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXcPL1ENj6I). “Fist to Fist” is a sure number one.
