Ska-P

西班牙搖滾團體Ska-P的音樂是揉合了牙買加的ska音樂與強力搖滾的咆哮聲勢及拉丁音樂的熱情于一體。自90年代中期出道以來，Ska-P在歐洲各地所造成的轟動絕非那些只局限在英美搖滾的樂迷所能想像的，因為以快節(jié)奏的ska節(jié)奏唱出他們所認為不公不義的政治事件，而他們之所以會選擇ska做為他們音樂上的表達也在于這種音樂它向來所代表的自由與解放，是其他音樂所沒有的精神，因此在七○年代末龐克音樂曾經(jīng)采用這類風(fēng)格元素的音樂，三十年后，Ska-P再度拾起這一激昂熱血的音樂讓他們企圖訴求的主旨能夠快速的散播出去。
 
Ska-P (Spanish pronunciation: [es?kape]) is a ska-punk band formed in Vallecas (Madrid), Spain, in 1994.
 
The band can be categorized, politically, as an anti-establishment musical group. It is one of the most popular ska bands in Spain, Europe, and Latin America.
 
Musically, despite their fun image, Ska-P has well-rehearsed and tight arrangements, and as of 2002, includes among its members a small but striking brass section which gives the band a powerful sound.
 
At the end of 2004, they announced work on a new album. After voting 4 against 2, in February 2005, the sudden and unexpected announcement was made that the band would take a break to allow the members to work on side projects, though some considered the band to have dissolved. The band's worldwide farewell tour of 2005 ended in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October of that year. Their farewell concert in el centro (near Mexico), on September 24, 2005, filled the 10,000-seat La Cubierta Stadium.
 
In April 2008 the band confirmed they were getting back together and on September 5, 2008 released the single &Crimen sollicitationis&. This was followed in October 2008 by a new album, Lágrimas y Gozos (Tears and Joys), which was released on October 7, 2008. The release of the album would be followed by a brief tour.
 
Ska-P returned to La Cubierta Stadium on December 27, 2008 to perform their only concert in Spain of that tour. today the band still tours in the USA, Mexico, and Europe. By 2010 and 2011 Ska-P will make their first tour in Japan.
