The Ethiopians - Train To Skaville (Official Audio)

[@MalloryKnox.]

I found this by accident due to a typo. Best mistake I've ever made. Never heard anything like this in my life, and I think I've just found my new favourite genre. I was getting sick of metal anyway

[@mirapilates]

Ska music has a rich history. A whole subculture is associated with it. The original skinheads were into ska and were not racist. If you like metal you should check out bands like the Specials that combined elements of punk with traditional ska. They are considered the second wave. Bands like Operation Ivy combined ska with Punk in the third wave. I like ska in all its forms. If you want to see some really great Ska footage watch . "The story of skinhead" by Don Letts. It's a fascinating story of youth culture.

What where you originally looking for 😂, and also how can anyone get sick of metal!? 😂🤘

I loved this in my youth. Had it on cassette tape and played it side to side, endlessly. I was a white kid in a little rural white English town. Nobody else I knew liked ska until I moved to a big Midlands town not too far from Coventry ❤

[@tinaredcat]

I just love this music - old school ska and reggae - I cant stop moving to the beat.

[@GarinNel]

Possibly my favourite song in the whole world.

[@philipfox2810]

Loved this since I was a teen in the 60's. So happy youngsters today appreciate it. WONDERFUL RAW SOUND.

[@misst.e.a.187]

This is a killer tune. My early teens. My parents music. Love it. Beep beeeeeeeep

[@56postoffice]

Telling you, the vibes in that studio must've been wicked! One of the most murderous riddims ever made. Killer!!

[@gordonmckenzie2920]

Best harmonies in the Rock Steady era, hands down

[@Delilah70]

Have you heard The Whip by this band? Anodda great rythym. One of the best of the era.

[@stevieg8934]

Great tune and takes me back to the Trojan era

I collect original 60's Ska. Introduced to it when I was about 5 and my Dad used to play his original vinyl ska records when him & his friends had a party. Explore, there are no bad ska records!

[@mrdaddylonglegs]

I have quite a few originals - I have this one

[@Ra-218]

What a cool song. I used to play this song often as a cheerful rhythm.

[@lynn5246]

can someone help me I'm going mad trying to find a record I remember from about 1978 but it could have been made about the same time as this one, cant remember the musician, it was like this but livelier and started slow then came a big 'Oi' from the band and then launched into a fast catchy reggae beat, it was so good so sad I cant find it. maybe taken off the play market because of copyright.

[@rudeby4273]

To my brothers and sisters free as a bird

Wonderful. If you are listening to this and not tapping your foot or fingers or whatever, you don't really like music.

Amazing vocals from these guys. Still sounds fresh.

That train is a branch service to Port Henderson. No stops in Skaville.

Johnny Cash had a house in East Jamaica. The Ethopians are from Jamaica The horn section in this sounds a lot like his cover of Ring of Fire, Maybe it's a coincidence.
