 | Description: | Following 2019â??s critically acclaimed original album For The Many, on June 25, 2021 UB40 release Bigga Baggariddim, an incredible celebration of the genre they love and a seminal reggae collaborations album.
Over 35 years after the original Baggariddim album, UB40 have reunited with artists who appeared on the 1985 album and collaborated with new, diverse reggae talent from around the world, who sing and deejay over cuts of the same rhythms. It was in cities like UB40â??s hometown of Birmingham where people from different ethnic backgrounds first learnt to live with one another, giving rise to multi-cultural Britain. Itâ??s therefore natural for UB40 to collaborate with artists of differing nationalities, ages and cultural backgrounds, as well as those sharing the same roots as themselves.
A companion to their critically acclaimed 2019 album For The Many, Bigga Baggariddim features the same rhythms and guest artists from different parts of the world including Jamaica, New Zealand, India and UB40â??s home town of Birmingham. New Zealandâ??s roots reggae band House Of Shem guest on three tracks, led by the irresistible Good Vibes Tonight. From India, the Reggae Rajahsâ?? General Zooz adds more diversity to UB40â??s most eclectic album yet and as the founders of Goaâ??s annual reggae festival, are a testament to Indiaâ??s rapidly growing reggae scene. They perform on the ear worm, Roots Rocks Reggae.
Veteran Jamaican reggae artists are represented by Winston Francis (whose long list of hits includes Mr Fix It, which UB40 covered on Labour Of Love III) and Inner Circle, whose overdubs on the track Rebel Love gives it their distinctive, platinum-selling Inner Circle Sound.
Reggae bands like UB40, who write and produce their own music, had all but disappeared in the UK until fellow Brummie band Kioko came along. The two bands met when Kioko performed a tribute to UB40, playing One In Ten live at Birminghamâ??s annual Music Awards. They join the together on Bigga Baggariddimâ??s You Donâ??t Call Anymore.
Alongside UB40â??s emergence in the 1980s, there was a UK deejay explosion. Of this talent, Tippa Irie made his reputation on London Sound Systems â?? and guests here on On The Road â?? alongside three Birmingham MCâ??s: Gilly G (Me Nah Leave Yet), Pablo Rider (Did You See That) and Slinger (My Life Action).
Pablo Rider and Slinger both featured on the original Baggariddim album in 1985 and also made cameo appearances on For The Many. They and Gilly G are all expected to join UB40 on the Bigga Baggariddim tour which begins in November. - 2021 release. UB40 is the biggest selling, top touring Reggae band in the world! Before there was No Doubt there was UB40. Before there was Sublime, there was UB40. Before any of the dozens and dozens of Ska, Reggae, and Jam bands bombarded the music scene with their version of Reggae Rock, there was UB40. Bigga Baggariddim is the group's 21st studio album.(C) 2021 Sono Recording Group. |  | No. of tracks: |
