_SKA + CUBA
Irresistible rhythm plus soaring flights of melodic imagination.
Skip into a parallel universe where the hottest musical development is Ska Cubano, the meshing of unstoppable Jamaican rhythms with crazy Cuban brass.
Ska! The compulsively danceable sound that rocked the clubs of Jamaica in the late `50's and early `60's and opened the way for world domination by reggae. (Bob Marley and his Wailers started life as a ska band.)
Cuba! The most musical country on earth, the source of a
large part of the great Latin music of the last century and of many of the world's
hottest popular musicians.
Put them together and you get an exhilarating fusion: irresistible rhythm plus
soaring flights of melodic imagination.
Ska culture was introduced into the east (Oriente) of Cuba by missionaries from
linea 1. Several fiestas, countless bottles of rum and wild descargas were followed
by great new arrangements of Cuban classics. Several ska bands now perform in
Santiago de Cuba.
The cream of the musicians recently came together to form a ska supergroup
and, under the direction of British ska fanatic Natty Bo, to
record.
