Celebrating 49 years, ‘Reggae Ambassadors,’ Third World are one of the longest-lived reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock and, later on, dancehall and rap, Third World’s style has been described as "reggae-fusion." 

With 9 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charting smash hits (including "Now That We Found Love," "96 Degrees in the Shade," and "Try Jah Love") spanning over four decades, sold-out tours, a vibrant and loyal fan base and inspirational messages, one may wonder, "What gives Third World the staying power so rare in the music industry?" Third World is more than just one of the top Reggae bands of all time, they are an institution that stands for producing and performing music that, while holding firm to the cultural and ancestral roots of its members, still pushes forward the cutting edge of music worldwide.

Third World toured and recorded with late great Bob Marley, including opening for Marley’s first world tour in 1978. They recorded and toured with Stevie Wonder, who produced 2 of their albums in the ‘80s released with CBS, they toured America with legendary guitarist Santana, opened for the Jackson 5’s first concert in Jamaica, shared stages throughout the world with the U2, Sting, The Police, Whitney Houston, Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Jimmy Buffet, Eric Clapton, Marc Anthony, Gladys Knight, the Marley Brothers and more.

Third World’s 2019 LP, More Work To Be Done was produced by Damian “Jr Gong” Marley and recieved a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album.
