Ska (or bluebeat) marked the true rise of Jamaican popular music, finding the most popular in the first half of the years if "60. It was the forerunner of other major genres such as rocksteady and reggae, and as these featured a rhythm with accents on raising the musical joke. Fundamental to the English contribution from the last years "70 which gave the exotic rhythm a cultural connotation as well as musical giving rise to rude boys, skinheads and mods. The fascinating Italian street at Ska begins in the second half of the 80s, albeit sometimes embarrassed with punk, when many bands first underground on the Lombardy-Piedmont axis begin to have a national resonance; Bluebeaters, Statute, Matrioska, Royale Casino, Persiana Jones, Shandon etc. With the time and bandwidth of this period, they mistakenly united to each other without having the requisite chronological or stylistic requirements and hybrid music left for what they were not, the genre faded, deflated, imploded even if a hard-core musician continued to operate "in the shadows" and with a discreet personal follow-up. In the last decade, the rhythms of the ska Italian were mostly abandoned by the 2-Tone-ska, with its ska-core and ska-punk dances, and back to the origins of the traditional Jamaican ska. MAGNETICS : Today something finally begins to move. And this is something very high. Leave behind the ingenuity of the past, so that a new generation of musicians stand out in the Italian landscape. High-tech musicians whose first references are Jamaica of the origins and the New York scene of recent years. THE MAGNETICS of "lifting" movement do so much, and quality material to be heard alike. It is surely early to talk about the rebirth of the Ska, primarily because at the public and local level there is still a bit of the prejudice that the genre has brought back from the '90s. But with groups such as THE MAGNETICS, the new formation led by Olly Riva and Mr.Massa, with their early reggae could finally be the right mood. |
