Featuring a light-hearted mix of classic and contemporary ska – a genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and has inspired some fabulous and fascinating fusions with musical styles the world over. (Part 5 of a very occasional series.)
"Music for the Masses" invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm. Discover the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene. For the avid globe-hopper and armchair traveler alike. You might want to pack a map and a sandwich.
