Community dedicated to the grandfather of reggae music, and father of rocksteady. The Ska is a music genre played in the 60's in Jamaica and it has conquered the entire world with its rhythm and happiness. Every wave and rhythm is welcome!

Caught them in the 90s, and just saw them again recently, they're still on tour, somewhat different lineup: https://skatalites.com/tour Great to hear the classic sounds live, and an excellent crowd.
They are a new orchestra, they are good musicians, but they don't have enough "sparkle" to connect with new rhythms and at the same time "to be likeable" by youngsters (and for me, to be proud African heritage and hold it in the music), if that maybe is a goal of them.
