A song that was, is, and will always be current. It was sung for South Africa then but it could apply to many countries even today. Music at its best, AND gifted to the world from Birmingham 💌🌹

[@iaincourtney907]

One of the best songs ever written in the history of music

[@garybirch2763]

I wouldn't go that far mate..but non the less a banging tune....

[@richardodongo4259]

Gary😂No chills! But you are right! I respect your straightforwardness bruv!

[@boltonbabe79]

Yes 🙌 true

[@griggsyk]

@@garybirch2763 True :)

[@sylvovandenbroek4880]

Beautiful! Fantastic! I used to play this song a lot as a deejay in The Netherlands and the audience reacted with the fist upright. Amandla Awethu! There is no UB40 without Ali.

[@olaa5534]

UB40 a truly mixed bunch of lads that sang their hearts out against hatred, oppression, and racism.

[@Damon759]

Rest in power Astro & Brian Travers as well as Madiba… 😢❤️🙏🏿🕯✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@norahappolus8994]

The greatest band that ever lived!

[@cristinaquintana7190]

RIP BRIAN TRAVERS. THANKS FOR YOUR ART

[@7DDuncan]

The Biggest and Best Band to have come from the shores of The U.K. 🇬🇧 Bar none!

[@roseduffy3136]

No, this island as small as it is has brilliant huge talent. Not streaming names off. So you are full of shit.

[@johnhughes8466]

Musically yes but I think The Beatles might have something to say about that! UB40 are a world class band and one of the greatest bands ever!

[@boltonbabe79]

One of the last times they were the original UB40 and sang my favourite song of theirs vale Astro and UB40 ❤

[@GavGav-p9d]

Bless Brian travers and astro legends

[@fabianchad304]

Rest In Peace Madiba. You will live on in our hearts forever, from Bradford, England.xxx.

[@mohamedravat2949]

Amazing song, one of the best that Robin has written.

[@MV-ni5qo]

This song was at the number one position when i was born. I feel kind of blessed :)

[@neattechnologiestz8636]

I can't stop tears from my eyes, I grew up listening to this great song and hope to see Mr. Mandela out of jail some day. The days were cold with the feeling of all humiliation yet hoping for better days. In Tanzania, we hosted many freedom fighters from South Africa and provide intelligence with the help of Mr Castro of Cuba. The houses they were being accommodated still stand today. Sad that, the degree of feeling of struggle we had as African youths is not existing any more now. Time has gone far

[@kevanderson9663]

human race still stands not easy words but voices we hear you .

[@davidngaruiya6784]

Sure thing

[@bgmedia4199]

We will no longer hear your command We will seize the control from your hand We will fan the flame Of our anger and pain And you'll feel the shame For what you do in gods name We will fight for the right to be free We will build our own society And we will sing, we will sing We will sing our own song the truth will prevail in these times... Trust! Amandla!!!: "Awethu!"

[@anthonyphillips3363]

Sing our own song is a favorite of mine. I like to hear d flute.

[@oppongedward4357]

This song even makes the soul moves.

[@boyley72]

loved this tune as a teenager, powerful

[@brigittejones2516]

Always sing your own song❤

[@shininglightstar843]

United and happier times for the band. Rip Brian Travers. X

[@HeidiNietz-mb3vc]

Never got to hear this song in concert. Hope Ali is upon Australian shores SOON, singing us hope and a vote of confidence that we, too, can build bridges in OUR sacred country. Just generally, I'd go for a vote of confidence that I can do it - singing my song...

Who is listening in 2021? Regards from Brazil 🇧🇷!

[@boltonbabe79]

The loss of Astro was profound UB40 was never the same after. Ali has the original voice that made the band it’s sad that they lost their way because they came from such a humble beginning 🙂 being from the unemployment benefit form in the uk 🇬🇧 in Birmingham to this worldwide music success story

[@omenaliberty5359]

UB40 you remain the best.

[@thunderbolt513]

Ub 4 was is a band, that apart the cool (reggea music) they play, had the courage tho shout out loud against apartheid, in 86 through this music, long before the end of that vicious regime ended (in the early 90`s). That`s remarkable, knowing what consequences the could have taken (in those days of the 80`s) on their carreers

[@rock4us2]

I loved this song, this was my ultimate song growing up. We had the 1994 South Africa tour on VHS

[@AvaGamerStuff]

What an amazing song. Pure love!

[@sergiovzla3953]

[@guguncube2308]

I was at one of their concerts ever at middleton civic centre and they played a lot in zimbabwe

[@MrZen535]

This was for South Africa and everyone living in an unjust world.These guys have no clue what they meant for the black man's struggle and continue to mean. 🙆These are really powerful words 😭😭Only white guys in those days could sing songs of freedom with fist✊in the air 👏👏👏👏 I love UB40. The messengers ✊Was as their concert in BW when they couldn't possibly perform in ZA due to 'aparteit' Easter Sunday 1989🇧🇼🇬🇧🇿🇦🇯🇲

[@dukenails7745]

Ally Campbell no words can explain that voice. Not evolution. Not god.

[@wesjames3497]

i was somewhere in this stadium...i remember it like it was yesterday

[@Nina63362]

Einfach nur ein sehr großes Kompliment für Euch.Ihr seid großartig

[@dramaniadama5796]

I like the music

[@19pedrobanda05]

Yess. Sing Our Own Song. Ale y su grupaso de UB40... En Arequipa, Perú suena esta melodía a todo pulmón.

[@davidsmith6355]

Who wrote the words for this song? Its so very powerful. "We will no longer hear your command, We will seize the control from your hand" This song was so powerful - it says no more talk, its over, its ended and we are in charge now. You are not relevant anymore. Not seen this level of determination and such a dramatic reversal before or since. Maybe historians can educate me further on that point but I think we need to indoctrinate this level of feeling and empowerment in people the whole world over, especially in light of the danger with our climate. Amandla; AWETHU !! (Power; TO US!) Stand up and fight for what you believe in.

[@Chrisamusic1]

.."and you'll feel ashamed of what you do in God's name". Wow.

[@HeidiNietz-mb3vc]

No indoctrination. It is organically driven. And a nation is built with this realization, harnessed.

[@jasnaamkaur8278]

Ali and Astro

[@seydoutoure6038]

merci

[@judioregan4210]

Oh man, this is stirring stuff. Would love to see the African Children's Choir perform this with UB40. So powerful. Also very sad about acrimonious split of Ali Campbell from the rest of the band. Really sad.

[@semajttam]

Judi O'Regan Wasn't his fault, the management screwed them all over and Ali just decided "No more." What a shame Robin couldn't see it too.

[@judioregan4210]

Matt James - I just think it's really sad that such a great band could just implode like that. Such a shame.

[@jahmekya32]

Judi O'Regan that is only Ali's side of the story. there are two sides. Robin is a man of integrity, but yes, it is very sad it happened.

[@judioregan4210]

jahmekya74 - yes sweetie, I know there are always two sides to every story. And I've heard what a lovely man Robin is. It's just really sad it all had to be so acrimonious. A real shame.

[@seanraghoo9882]

Judi O'Regan Astro left in 2013 as well so there must be something wrong

[@michaelmazani]

So relevant in the age we are living in now

[@24sevenrecords51]

We fight for the right to be free We build our own society Our beloved South Africa though current leaders have betrayed us. Situation is worse than it was before 94.

[@brainimp]

Noticed that on all these UB40 mid 90's South Africa Videos they only ever show the crowd from a distance or a distorted close up view, it was meant to be The New South Africa and yet still hardly any Black people in the crowd.

[@barryjenkins6137]

i beg to differ there were a good mix of all colours in the crowd
