Considered either the cousin or father of reggae, the festive music of ska is represented from bands ranging from Brazil to Spain, Algeria and even Canada on this ten tune sampler. A pair of instrumentals, “Atlantida” from the Orquestra Brasileia” is a fun filled chunky guitar fest, while the New York Ska-jazz Ensemble brings up the funky “Buttah.” A make chorus and organ team up from The Netherlands for “Zazi” and you’re going to yell “Ole’” at The Pepper Pts’ “Duck Soup.” Stomping grooves and organ team with sweet voice on “Asi’ Eres Tu” from Akatz and even Russia gets into the act with a big and brassy “Policy of Truth.” Call everyone over for the party and limbo stick!
