Le groupe a atterri en provenance d\u2019Afrique du Sud apr\u00e8s une tourn\u00e9e r\u00e9gionale intense et tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ussie. La formation a d\u00e9but\u00e9 sa tourn\u00e9e dans le sud \u00e0 Cape Town le 2 juin, s\u2019est produite \u00e0 Durban le 4 juin, puis a encha\u00een\u00e9 deux concerts cons\u00e9cutifs \u00e0 Pretoria les 6 et 7 juin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leur arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Kigali \u00e9tait initialement pr\u00e9vue le 8 juin. Toutefois, en raison d\u2019un calendrier de tourn\u00e9e particuli\u00e8rement charg\u00e9, la direction a demand\u00e9 une journ\u00e9e de repos suppl\u00e9mentaire, ce qui a repouss\u00e9 leur arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 ce matin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le groupe UB40 a \u00e9t\u00e9 fond\u00e9 \u00e0 Birmingham, au Royaume-Uni, en 1978 par un groupe d\u2019amis de classe ouvri\u00e8re. Il tire son nom du formulaire britannique d\u2019allocation ch\u00f4mage (Unemployment Benefit Form 40).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est devenu l\u2019un des groupes de reggae les plus populaires au monde, avec plus de 70 millions d\u2019albums vendus et des titres embl\u00e9matiques comme \u201cRed Red Wine\u201d, \u201cKingston Town\u201d et \u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling in Love\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des d\u00e9saccords internes ont ensuite conduit \u00e0 une scission durable du groupe. En 2008, le chanteur embl\u00e9matique Ali Campbell a quitt\u00e9 la formation originale \u00e0 la suite de diff\u00e9rends li\u00e9s \u00e0 la gestion. Afin de pr\u00e9server le son classique, il a lanc\u00e9 en 2014 sa propre version en tourn\u00e9e du groupe, connue aujourd\u2019hui sous le nom de UB40 featuring Ali Campbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette formation parall\u00e8le a auparavant inclus les anciens membres Mickey Virtue et Terence \u201cAstro\u201d Wilson, ce dernier \u00e9tant malheureusement d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendant ce temps, les membres restants de la formation originale ont conserv\u00e9 le nom UB40, avec Duncan Campbell (fr\u00e8re d\u2019Ali) puis Matt Doyle comme chanteurs principaux, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de membres historiques tels que Robin Campbell, Jimmy Brown, Earl Falconer et Norman Hassan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En raison de cette s\u00e9paration historique, c\u2019est uniquement UB40 featuring Ali Campbell qui se produira ce soir \u00e0 Kigali, avec la voix embl\u00e9matique derri\u00e8re les plus grands succ\u00e8s du groupe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour de nombreuses g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de m\u00e9lomanes rwandais ayant grandi en \u00e9coutant ces morceaux, ce concert \u00e0 la BK Arena repr\u00e9sente un moment marquant, m\u00ealant nostalgie et performance de classe mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
