“UB40 is my legacy,” he smiles. “It’s an absolute joy to travel everywhere and sing these songs to lovely audiences. This is reggae; it brings people together and unifies them. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10-years-old or 100-years-old, it’s always a happy time. This is what I’ve done for the last 40-plus years of my adult life. I have no intention of ever stopping either.”
Matisyahu, the genre-bending American artist known for “King Without a Crown” and his unique fusion of reggae, hip-hop, and spiritual lyricism. Together, they create a powerful live experience that bridges generations and styles.
