Mama Ska

Musical Group

An Italian ska/rocksteady group from Cannole (Salento) blending Jamaican rhythms with Apulian musical tradition; celebrated twenty years in 2019.

Based in Cannole (province of Lecce), Italy. The album 'VIVA LA VIDA, VIVA L'AMOR!' and its first track 'Cielo di Puglia' were highlighted; guest vocalists include Terron Fabio (Sud Sound System), Andrea Pasca (Crifiu) and Tonio Corba (Alegria Gitana). Animated videos by Pasquale Lazzari for 'Zary Movie' are noted in the review.

The review presents Mama Ska as an Apulian group blending Jamaican rhythms and local Salentine tradition. It highlights the single "Cielo di Puglia", guest vocalists from the Salento scene, animated videos and the band's 20-year celebration. The overall tone is positive though the published rating is 3/5.

For:Fans of ska, rocksteady, Salento/Apulian music and listeners of world-music fusions.

 It is the other face of Salento's music scene, one that looks to the Caribbean to blend the warm rhythms of Jamaica and the northern American soul of Rocksteady with the sounds more linked to our Apulian tradition.
