Info
On June 11, 2027, The Level in Nottingham hosts Toots and the Maytals featuring Leba Hibbert, picking up the thread of a band that helped shape Jamaican music from the 1960s onward. Born as The Maytals, they moved from ska to rocksteady and reggae with a punchy, gospel-and-soul-leaning energy, tight harmonies, and that gritty vocal drive that made Frederick “Toots” Hibbert such a singular frontman.
Expect a set built around the songs that turned them into staples well beyond Kingston: “54-46 Was My Number”, “Monkey Man”, “Pressure Drop”, “Funky Kingston”, “Time Tough”, “Reggae Got Soul”. They were also among the first to put the word “reggae” into a song with 1968’s “Do the Reggay”, a small line that ended up naming a whole movement.
Now fronted by Toots’ daughter Leba, the show leans into legacy without freezing it in time: the classics are still there, carried by a voice that knows where it comes from and where it can go.
