100% Ska Podcast S05E23 – It’s an All French and Spanish Ska Episode

100% Ska Podcast

Tonight we’re taking a trip across the Atlantic to the fertile ska grounds of France and Spain to spotlight some of the great bands and songs that have been coming from the region as far back as the 2-Tone craze!

From Spain, we highlight some of the melodic ska and roots reggae tunes with The Offbeaters and Crepitans, and the big brass sounds of Don Cosmic

From France, we hear the legendary Skarface, along with more of big bouncing 3rd wave inspired tunes from Beer Beer Orchestra and Bizness, and some spitting punky-reggae from Dirty Distrct and The Internationalists.

There’s so much more to hear as well, so hop on this jet plane and take a trip with me!
