U2 is a name of popular rock music band from Ireland. The band actively involves in social transformation around the world. As the music group is particular about their music, the sounds they produced were mostly very wonderful to listen. It’s because they have years of experiment with the electronics music. That experiment made them special in enabling to produce amazing music.
Bono is the main vocalist of the U2 music band. His surname is Paul Hewson and he is known as the spokesman for the world’s poor. This means that the singer himself is very much engaged in social change for poor people. As a matter of fact most of the songs that he had sung are related to the suffering of the people and social issues.
The music group is famous not only for producing love songs but also music that had solid political background. They actually are very much supportive for the establishment of open society. They had depicted the problems of civil war among the Irish in their music. They prioritized the restoration of peace within the conflict ethnicities and regions around the world.
The band had dedicatedly composed a song for Nobel Peace Prize winner Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. The name of the song was “Walk On” which was released in the album name “All that you can’t leave behind”. The album had won “Grammy Award for record of the year” in 2002 as it had touched the heart of millions of people. This particular song had created more awareness of the Burmese regime inhuman treatment toward their fellow citizens. The song was also used in supporting and uplifting people as it had a very touching effect!
The music band is known for their distinct characteristic of producing political, social and even environmental music in depicting the beauty of nature. This had distinguished them from the ordinary rock band. They are special for their dedication and positive transformation that they had brought to the international community through their music. I am sure that this very talented and legendary music group will continue to be known in the future time and generation to come.
