BBC Covers Latin Ska Scene in South Central LA

by Buster the Ska Doggie

in General, Ska'd For Life

This is cool – there’s a nice bit on BBC about the bands and fans of a growing Latin Ska scene in South Central Los Angeles. There’s long been a great tradition of Latin influenced Ska music, and Ska en Espanol – including bands like La Plebe from San Francisco and Upground from East LA. Wow even as I write this I Google “Latin Ska LA” and find a recent LA Times article on the subject! Buster the Ska Doggie approves.

An Excellent Homage to the Bass Lines of Lloyd Brevett of The Skatalites

by Buster the Ska Doggie

in General, Ska'd For Life, Skalarly Works

spacer If you’re a Ska fan, you love the Skatalites. If you don’t love the Skatalites, you’re not a Ska fan. There are few other bands in any genre that you can really make a statement like that about. But in the case of the Skatalites, I think anyone with the Sknaledge will agree. Skatalites founding member and long long time bassist Lloyd Brevett had more to do with the creation and evolution of Ska music than just about anyone. Here’s a great tribute to the man and his music, by, fittingly, another ska bass player. Read Marco On The Bass’ Homage to the Bass Lines of Lloyd Brevett of The Skatalites.
