SKA CUBANO
¡AY CARAMBA!
Cumbanacha

The reason ¡Ay Caramba! is arguably the best ska album ever made is because it sounds like what Duke Ellington would have produced, had the late jazz great ventured into composition of this Kingston, Jamaica-born precursor of reggae.  In fact, the mastermind behind Ska Cubano is Brit entrepreneur and music lover Peter Scott, who enlisted longtime South London ska singer Natty Bo, Cuban singer Beny Billy--a man who actually claims to be the reincarnation of Beny Moré--and London's best Cuban and Jamaican musicians to produce 14 ska tracks you can dance, and even think to.  01/01/07
