SKA, ROCK STEADY, REGGAE: IT ALL BEGAN WITH SKATALITES, JAMAICA'S GREATEST BAND...
In early 60's, when Beatles made their first albums, a similar revolution started in Jamaica. Skatalites were a band of highly skilled musicians, who backed most of the top stars of the day, including not yet discovered Bob Marley. The line-up lasted only one year, but in the 80's Skatalites reformed. Today their old masters timeless grace can be matched only by Buena Vista Social Club. In 90's they were twice nominated for Grammy, their "Hi-Bop Ska" was elected as the best reggae album by the National American Independent Record Distribution. After 40 years they still deliver steaming hot licks without losing an inch of their youth. Since Bob Marley passed away, Skatalites are the last survivors of classical era of Jamaican music.
