When it comes to Ska Cubano, rarely has the expression a match made in heaven been so apropos. Take classic rhythms from two of the worlds most musically influential islands, Jamaica and Cuba, mash them together like mint and sugar, add ample 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.
Composed of renowned musicians like bass player Ray Crespo and trumpet legend Eddy "Tan Tan" Thorton, Ska Cubano is fronted by South London ska-king Natty Bo and his discovery, Cuban vocalist Beny Billy. This twin attack of English rude boy and Cuban sonero makes for a joyful live experience.
Ska Cubano posits a world where the music of Caribbean cousins Jamaica, Cuba and beyond developed a closer kinship back in the day before reggae and salsa shook the globe.
