UB40
Anyone who belongs to the ’90s knows and loves the band UB40. Their song, Red Red Wine, could easily be on every hot-blooded Indian’s romance playlist. And for those who didn’t know this, they are still making and releasing music. Last month, they released Bigga Baggariddim, a celebration of reggae. The release also comes at a time when the reggae legends are preparing for their autumn-winter stadium tour.
This is the band’s 20th record. Musically, the new material features contributions from founding members Robin Campbell (co-vocals/guitar), Brian Travers (saxophone/keyboards), James Brown (drums), Earl Falconer (bass/keyboards/vocals) and Norman Hassan (percussion/vocals), alongside longtime members Duncan Campbell (vocals), Martin Meredith (saxophone), Laurence Parry (trumpet) and Tony Mullins (keyboards). The lead singer is now Matt Doyle (formerly of the reggae band KIOKO).
