“We hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy performing it for you!” That’s how Tommy McCook used to greet to the audience by at every performance of The Skatalites that he hosted. Since reforming after an almost 20 year hiatus in 1983, and beginning regular touring as a unit in 1989, they have not stopped thrilling audiences in every corner of the globe. Even after 48 years, and various lineup changes as members leave one stage for another, the band continues to perform and record new music in the inimitable Jamaican style, like only they can.
