UB40 - Who You Fighting For?

On July 18, 2005 UB40 released their album "Who You Fighting For?". It marks the return of the rootsier, political sound that the group cultivated during the early 1980s. It was the band's first release by Rhino Records in the US. The 9th track in the album reached No. 75 on the UK singles chart. Hunterz and The Dhol Blasters also feature in the song. The song is distinguished by its chorus with Punjabi words, which is woven into a song with a reggae rhythm. The Punjabi lyrics are:

"Tere bin meno chain na aveh, Oh soniye

These can be roughly translated as

without you I have no peace, O beautiful one

The song basically describes 9 reasons why the singer loves his beau. The album was nominated for the reggae album Grammy in 2006.

UB40 Tickets are available on Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.
