The Skatalites, Dr. Jah & the Love Prophets
Revolution Hall, Thursday
Believe it or not, ska-reggae legends the Skatalites were formed more than four decades ago. Talk about a long life span, huh? After finishing a world tour in 2002, the Skatalites are home in the States again, and staying here for their current tour. The band just released their new album, From Paris With Love, on World Village Records, and the album, which was recorded in Paris practically in just one day, is described as an effort to celebrate international unity. As can be expected, the Skatalites have changed their lineup many times throughout their existence - and they'll change it yet again. Doreen Schaeffer, band vocalist during the world tour, is unavailable to join them for their States dates, so special guest vocalist Dion Knibb, a regular performer with the Skatalites, will step in. The tour will stop in Troy tonight (Thursday) for a performance at Revolution Hall. Dr. Jah & the Love Prophets will open. (May 22, $20, $18 advance, 9 PM, 273-2337) 05/22/03
