Product Details

Before reggae, before rocksteady, there was ska, and the Skatalites were its house band. Formed from Kingston's elite session musicians, they essentially built the rhythmic foundation that Jamaican popular music has stood on for six decades, influencing everyone from punk bands to dancehall artists who may not even realize the debt they owe.

The Skatalites are a ska band from Jamaica. They played initially between 1963 and 1965, and recorded many of their best known songs in the period, including "Guns of Navarone." They also played on records by Prince Buster and backed many other Jamaican artists who recorded during that period, including Bob Marley & The Wailers, on their first single "Simmer Down." They reformed in 1983 and have played together ever since.
