Music!!

Hello everybody!!In this article I am going to speak about music. Normaly I lisen Ska music, because is very cheerful and happy. My favorite groups are Talco, Obrint Pas, Egurra ta Kitto... Now I am going to write about the history of Ska.
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. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. More information here: Ska more information.

Ska music genre is dispeared in all the world and a lot of people lisen. For this reason are famous groups in a lot of countries, and in the Basque Country is very famous Talco. For this reason I am going to explain a bit this group.


Talco is an Italian ska punk and alternative band from Marghera, Venice. Musically the group combines the horns and rhythms of ska-punk with Italian folk music. Their lyrics reflect the band's support for left-wing politics and often include anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-imperilist themes.
