about

Take classic Jamaican ska and blend it with Afro-Cuban son and salsa, throw in some retro swing and Colombian cumbia for spice, and the result is a magic musical concoction that will get your feet moving and your hips shaking. When it comes to Ska Cubano, rarely has the expression "a match made in heaven" been so apropos. Mix classic rhythms from two of the world's most musically influential islands, Jamaica and Cuba, mash them together like mint and sugar, add ample of amounts of intoxicating melodies and a dash of jest; the result is a magical musical cocktail that has been setting dance floors ablaze from London to Tokyo.
