Well, maybe you could explain to me what their "own culture" was in respect of UB40: they grew up in Balsall Heath in Birmingham, in a very culturally diverse neighbourhood. Their father is a Scot who was living in England. So what was their culture - the one they saw all around them (made up of African Caribbean music, food cultures etc), the folk music their father played, which he wrote while living in England, or the music of his native Scotland, which formed part of their heritage?

See, when you're dealing with real life, WAV, it's not so eay to fit people into little boxes.
