Various Artists : Ska Giants |
|
|
Genre: Ska |
Dates: 1980's |
No collection missing The Specials, Madness, or The English Beat should be called Ska Giants, but this was a donation, so we ain’t complaining. The artists and bands represented know their stuff, and many obscure gems abound, and, at any rate, you can get a good feel for the third of several ska revivals (there will be more!). Note: ska is essential Jamaican rhythm and blues that, when slowed down by experimenting musicians, evolved into what we now know as reggae.
