Rico Rodriguez was born Emmanuel Rodriguez on October 17, 1934 in Kingston, Jamaica). As a trombonist and composer he is among the founding figures of Jamaican popular music.
With roots in jazz as well as in the sound of African rooted burru drumming and so-called Rasta-chants Rico took part in developing Jamaican music from rhythm & blues to ska and reggae. Within this process he developed his own style, a combination of ska, reggae and jazz which reached an artistic peak with his album Man From Wareika in 1976. Jazz trumpeter Don Cherry once asked Rico: "How can you play like that ... To play like you I had to go to Africa to learn." (quoted by Hanafusa, 1998)
Rico performed worldwide and dedicated himself more and more to play with musicians from all over the world.
