South East Ska Train Presents: Uptown Ska Collective (with Horace Panter-The Specials), Maroon Town, and Rhoda Dakar (The Body Snatchers)
South East Ska Train presents a night of pure Ska!UPTOWN SKA COLLECTIVE
Uptown Ska Collective is the brainchild of THE SPECIALS bassist, Horace Panter. He says: “I have wanted to get a band like this together for years; the seductive quality of these rhythms is irresistible ... it is impossible to stay still while this music is playing."
Using the core of the additional musicians from The Specials (keyboards and horn section), he has put together the ultimate moving dance feast.
"The guys I'm using are seasoned musicians; they all know one another so the musical rapport is amazing and, like me, they live and breathe this stuff." ?This stuff' is classic ska, based around the work of the legendary Skatalites out of Kingston Jamaica's Alpha School. It also ventures into reggae, citing the majestic compositions of Rico Rodriguez, another Alpha alumni and original Specials stalwart. “I want to find a new audience for this music; to my mind it belongs on World Music stages on balmy sunny evenings. It's the musical equivalent of sunshine, the sexiest music in the world!"
