A 9-piece outfit from Switzerland, our Latin, Carib Jazz and R&B infused Offbeat is devoted to the authentic Jamaican Ska that conquered the world in 1964. By following in the footsteps of musical founders Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Jackie Mittoo, Ernest Ranglin, Prince Buster, Jackie Opel, The Maytals just to name a few - and emulating that raw and infectious downtown Kingston, JA vibe of the mid 60s, all our original music is carefully arranged and recorded live in the studio, playing acoustic instruments and using vintage analog equipment to capture the pure energy of this unique and timeless beat. Our mission is quite simple: TO MAKE YOU MOVE AND GROOVE - FOR DAYS AND EXTRA DAYS!
