Changing it up.

So by now all of my readers must think that all I listen to is the hip hop, however that is not true.  My musical taste is eclectic, at least I believe so.  So here we go trying another song from a different genre.

This is a song called  A Message to you Rudy from an English ska band know as The Specials.  They were first wave of ska and they were one of the first racially integrated bands to hit the scene.  Now if you have no idea what ska is, it is basically a fusion of reggae and jazz.  This song is very good and a classic ska staple.  Focusing hard on the up strokes of the guitar as well as the horns in the back.  The song itself is very well composed and has been covered by many a ska band through the years.  This is just a great ska song from a great ska band.  If you see the video you can see everyone in classic ska attire.  Black and white is most of the colors they wear.  A lot of them dress in suits because that is how first wave ska was.

This song is very good example of what ska is, first wave at least.  The Specials are a huge ska band and anyone who has heard any amount of ska should know who they are.
