The Skatalites - Treasure Isle

[@audilover1295]

thank you everyone for acknowledging my grand father Roland Alphonso and his Amazing band Members. Lets keep this LEGACY alive.

[@mia-aara]

Absolute legends!!

[@audilover1295]

@@mia-aara Thank you! 😊

[@jeffreyRfike]

Was blessed to see your grandfather the great Roland Alphonso in action as the leader of the Skatalites in the mid-late 90s at the Majestic in Detroit. I wil never forget his presence and the beautiful, beautiful uplifting music.

I am non conformist underground music punk rocker 55 years old. This is the only band that is excepted in my work place by everyone. %100 😁

[@desdonaldson1353]

75 years young loved the skatlites first heard them in the 60s, you name them I had most of them , nuff respect ,

[@rogerpeachey2212]

I'm 63 and loved ska, rocksteady, reggae all my life. I've grown up with prince buster, the pioneers, the upsetters, toots and the maytals ect... Ect... And yes the skatalites. There are some very good ska bands around today and I have seen many of them. Most are cover bands but still very good.

[@fredluna1730]

Pur ,clean and basic. From the first note I'm dancing. Was privileged to see them live many years ago. To me Bob Marley is the Barry Maninlow of Jamaican music. Skatalites are the shit....

[@kevinskad4life799]

THE BEST SKA GROUP EVER BY FAR

[@pigmeatishambacon]

nope there was busters all stars and the baba brookes band

[@daveepelone6221]

Just thinking of how many people have never even heard of the Skatalites and have no idea of the wealth of great music they created

[@mmoxam6963]

No kidding!

[@propaghandi8614]

Who cares how many people just enjoy it yourself. You kids these days are all about “look at me” “look who I’m listening to”. Geez back in the 80s your kind was called posers. Shut it up and do the ska (for yourself,not anybody else kid.)

[@trainrover]

@@propaghandi8614 as a pupil in da 70s in snootiest hoods there, it was the commercial re-alignment coupled to the rebirth of ska back then that, accusatorily, you've perfectly described its - uhm - egoism...and here I am at my adopted island, finally!!!!! exhaling, realising this is the ska that oughtta've better fit our noisy backdrop.........................

I discovered Ska at 9 years old in 1969 when i went to live in Jamaica and fell in love with it and thanks to youtube I'm able to still listen to this beautiful music🥰❤❤👏👏👏🇬🇧🇯🇲

[@pigmeatishambacon]

no one was playing ska in 1969 it was reggae ska died out late 65 to ska steady

[@АнтонНикин]

I heard them for the first time in 95, I really like them, I have several albums ..

[@deloresthompson8657]

These were the best days and music ever to come out of jamaica those of us that lived back then lived and enjoyed the best jamaica had to offer these youths missed alot.

[@pigmeatishambacon]

[@oscarreidd5336]

[@elinorregina]

I discovered the Skatalites (and Ska) later in life but I am so glad I did. I can't say enough about what it has meant to me.

[@johnmarese1310]

It’s never too late to fall in love with ska
