Born in Sicily, Italy, Alborosie made the move to Jamaica in 2001 and has remained there since. In 2006, Alborosie had his breakthrough with his debut solo album Soul Pirate that contained hits like Kingston Town and Rastafari Anthem. He quickly established himself as a headline act across festivals all over the world. In 2008, Alborosie performed at Uppsala Reggae Festival for the first time and his experience here inspired the song Operation Uppsala which we will hope to hear him sing on Saturday 29-July.
