Rico Rodriguez was born in Cuba and moved with his family to Jamaica at an early age. He grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, and was taught to play the trombone by his slightly older schoolmate Don Drummond at the Alpha Boys School. In the 1950s, he became a Rastafarian and became closely musically related to Rasta drummer, Count Ossie. In 1961, he moved to the UK and started to play in reggae bands. In 1976, he recorded the album, Man from Wareika under contract with Island Records. In the late 1970s, with the arrival of the 2 tone genre, he played with Ska revival bands such as The Specials and one of his most notable performances was on The Specials' song ‘’A message to you Rudy’.’ Rodriguez also helmed his own outfit, Rico and the Rudies, to yield the albums, Blow Your Horn and Brixton Cat. In 1995, Island Records released the album Roots to the Bone, an updated version of Rodriguez's earlier work, Man from Wareika. Since 1996, amongst other engagements, he has played with Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra and he also performs at various ska festivals throughout Europe with his own band. He performs with Holland at Jools' Annual Hootenanny . He was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) at Buckingham Palace on 12 July 2007, for services to music and in October 2012 he was awarded the Silver Musgrave Medal by the institute of Jamaica in recognition of his contribution to Jamaican music.
