Yellow Umbrella is an international reggae and ska band from Dresden .
history
Yellow Umbrella was founded in 1994 in Dresden . The current line-up developed until 1997, with slight changes in line-up. The band's musicians come from France, Spain, the USA and Germany.
From 1997 to 2003 the band played more than 600 concerts and performed a. a. in Germany, France, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland. After a brief phase of dissolution and a farewell tour in 2003, the band made their comeback in 2005 and have since released five albums on the Berlin label Pork Pie . Her style of music mixes reggae and ska with influences from klezmer , Arabic music and other styles.
Former members are Enrico Mildner, Marco Pfennig, Harald Bohner, Falk Reinhardt, Uli Schröder, Jan Kalb, Thomas Pätzold, Henning Schmitz-Peiffer, Phillipp Kamprath-Scholz, Alex Buck, Marcus Kesselbauer, Oliver Salzmann, Urbain Flori.
In 2015 the band received national attention when they stood up against the xenophobic movement Pegida in their song No Pegida together with Ronny Trettmann and Tiny Dawson . The song ran for several weeks in many radio stations in Germany. In this context, Yellow Umbrella joined Herbert Grönemeyer , Silly , Wolfgang Niedecken , Gentleman , Sarah Connor and others in front of the Frauenkirche for a cosmopolitan Dresden.
Since 2010 the band has regularly published children's books with the reggae bunny Boooo at the publishing house Voland & Quist . In November 2016 their 13th album was released with the title "Hooligans of Love".
