I love the music of "Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra"
They are the Japanese band of Ska/Instrumental music. In the first place, Ska is the Jamaican music, basically Jamaica is recognized as the birthplace of Ska music. And Ska is mainly for Brass Band Instrument.
Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the upbeat
Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods, and it is said that third wave of ska which involved bands from the UK, Australia, Japan, South America and the US, was happened on the beginning of 1980s and peaking in the 1990s.
I only know about that third wave, one of my old friends taught me about the The Skatalites, he loved them so much and advised me to listen their music.
Personally I think the thing about their attractiveness are;
- Adult/Matured
- The live performance has really huge amout of energy
- Collaboration with other Artist
When the summer season will come to Japan, there will be a lot of music festival across Japan, and they will perform at many stages on this season for sure.
So excited!!
