About This:

Without the musicians known as The Skatalites, there would never have been Reggae.

From Jazz, Calypso and especially Rhythm & Blues, they created a rythm, a tempo, a feeling and a sound that were entirely new: they called it Ska.

From studio to studio, they dominated the Jamaican scene of the '60s, creating a body of work comparable only to that of Motown, Stax or Blue Note.

Thirty years on, in the Davout Studios in Paris, all the surviving musicians were recorded simultaneously; with the spontaneity that characterizes them, The Skatalites unleashed their collective inspiration, improvising together tracks destined to be future anthems.
