UB40

One of the most successful and influential British reggae groups of all time, UB40 has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide with more than 50 charting singles in the UK, including their global #1 hits “Red Red Wine” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You.” 

“For more than 40 years, we’ve been one of the hardest working touring bands in pop music,” says guitarist/vocalist and UB40 co-founder Robin Campbell, who, along with Jimmy Brown (drums), Earl Falconer (bass, vocals), and Norman Hassan (percussion, trombone, vocals), has been the core of the band for its entire ever-evolving history. “We aim to have a party every show.”

UB40 is joined by Jesus “Aguaje” Ramos, a Cuban trombonist, composer, arranger and musical director, best known as the original orchestra leader, composer, and trombonist of the Buena Vista Social Club. Under the direction of Ramos, the Buena Vista Orchestra continues the legacy of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club with an exciting new stage production and repertoire pulled from the greatest hits (many of which Ramos composed) and deep-dive cuts. The group has amassed over 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify with their debut album on SSK Records, Greatest Recorded Performances, with another album due out later this year. Ramos is joined on tour by an all-star ensemble including original BVSC members “Betun” Luis Mariano Valiente Marin (congas, bongo), Emilio Senon Morales Ruiz (piano), and Fabían Garcia (bass).
