Skafandros Orkestra

Train To Skavilla

(2013)

 

Skafandros Orkestra mixes the balance of Jamaican ska with Afro-Brazilian music, in a rich and vibrant instrumental. The group seeks, in its authorial repertoire, a dialogue with Brazilian rhythms, such as ijexá, jongo, frevo, coco and baião. In addition to his compositions, the Skafandros Orkestra show also features re-readings by great Brazilian composers, combining Jamaican ska with the Bahian universe of Dorival Caymmi, the modern orchestrations of Moacir Santos and Villa-Lobos's erudite world. This Brazil-Jamaica connection, combined with a powerful harmonical and orchestral structure, is what defines Skafandros Orkestra as a unique and unmistakable group in the panorama of instrumental ska.
