featuring Leba Hibbert

‘Reggae Got Soul’ 50th Anniversary Tour 1976–2026

The Maytals formed in the 1960s and updated their name to Toots and the Maytals for their debut album Sweet And Dandy in 1969.

One of the best-known ska and rocksteady groups, they are also credited with the first use of the word “reggae” in a song on their 1968 single Do The Reggay.

Frederick “Toots” Hibbert was a reggae pioneer who was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time.

Known for classic reggae songs such as 54-46 Was My Number, Monkey Man, Pressure Drop, Funky Kingston, Broadway Jungle, Bam Bam, Time Tough and Reggae Got Soul, Toots and the Maytals are now fronted by Toots’ daughter Leba Hibbert, who has released her own recordings and worked with Sly & Robbie, Jimmy Cliff and more.
