Description
The Skatalites have been laying down rocksteady rhythms as tight as a snare drum since 1964, outlasting the numerous waves of ska revivalists they've inspired. The ensemble served as a backing band to the likes of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh during its early years, but it's the rock-solid instrumental arrangements that have insured the band's immortality as a reggae legend. Any band that's been at it for nearly five decades will suffer staff changes, and though the current incarnation only shares a couple members with the original lineup, the Skatalites' musical vision remains true to this day.Comments
