VV.AA. Italian Rude Boys CD
Amphibian rec in 20 new recruits of the Italian ska with a piece each. Good presence ska original, the groups that can be traced to this line are all very technically minded and very "hot." The Romans Jamaica Red Stripe (truly exceptional Skatalites oriented), the Bergamo Orobians (present with a cover) and KONTEA (with a great instrumental) and (Turin?) Mr. Steady Dudes (which I had already enjoyed a few years ago in Italian Ska Invasion vol. I) bode well Rudies the Italians. As for groups 2 Tone Resorts embraces fun (if not mistaken now have changed name), a nice discovery of the Wind Fronde, sparkling and dancing the removal Koatta, cute i Gradiska (But would also be the time to stop with all these word games with "ska") that reflect a historical piece in the intro beat ("If I want to leave" by Michael), very good with the Askers (including a new look session) and do not hurt Nunc Est Bibendum (I was expecting worse), Skastori's cute but do not choose the best piece of their album. Something to argue about Skarabazoo, Bassistinti (tackle a song like "Apache" is difficult and you are likely to regret the original sin ... because they are an interesting group), Neuro Disney band (can improve the technique's) and rough that do not reach the levels of crude. The Strivol, Rollowash, Gazpacho and Amanita muscaria are on enough with them a bit 'advantage in view of the progress (they have slowed down and have a very good voice). I close the review here of the disk (it came pretty long eh?), In general say that the disc is very good and the italian rude boys in the coming days have to buy something without fear of scam.

Amphibian records by The Scrucialists (CH), 04/06, Bologna Workout Festival + Interview Dr. Ring Ding + King Django Interview by Patrick Skin
A concert that would be able to change his mind even the most convinced advocate of
infamous cliché that the reggae would be too monotonous. The concert starts at general indifference towards the 23, with a piece attacking Scrucialists
dubbeggiante, when at one point onstage King Django
that from the beginning of the dance with her singing halfway ta and the toaster
well bypassed by excellent keyboards) Django can not ever be boring. Fell and remained the Scrucialists King Django, in the midst of the cries of the public onstage Richi, or Dr. Ring Ding, which is the best toaster Europe. As always, takes the stage in an exceptional way, helped by a remarkable physicality,
never loses the undivided attention of the public and can make people laugh and smileseveral times but without ever stop dancing.
Unfortunately the nature of the tour and the band can not reproduce all
his vast repertoire, but is limited to pieces &
ragga dancehall, highlighted by a Call Di Doctor scope for long
that would never have wearied the public and even some pieces of Calypso
that demonstrate the love of this 'Man for the Jamaican tune. He is dedicated
even close to a busy piece against the war in Iraq,
one thing (the dedication policy) than ever before I happened to hear him
. After a descent from the stage where no one had believed the two toasters
back together on stage and offering pieces of the repertoire of
Ring Ding, plus a few tracks on the new "King Django Meets The
Scrucialists. Always ragga copyright Ring Ding with
that continues to dominate the scene making fun of everyone, especially himself. After another out
already more credible and Django Richi
back on stage to bring the piece recorded with the Grover
that the name on the tour and a fun version of Dancehall rock
then left to finish in the dub cove when the Scrucialists curtain.
Ultimately a great concert with a superb Ring Ding.
Interview with Dr. Ring Ding
D: why, Richi, so spaces between
Jamaican musical genres, passing indifferently from reggae to ska to dub the Original
calypso?
A: Oh I listen to all types of music and sound
almost every type of music in different formations. For example sound in a jazz band, in a swing and a
that is French music. But the Jamaican music
is that I love. Whole. So that is where I invest my
major projects.
Q: why on this tour keep more or less all kinds
before except the original? A: because I wanted to do a tour focused on the dancehall, and
also on the characteristics of those who accompanied meQ: where does the choice to sing mostly in English?
A: I do not sing in English if not in small part to be understood by more people
but because this music sung in English and I was born
seems more respectful of tradition. For example, if I did
Italian music would be sung in Italian.
French music when I play I do it in that language. In my life I wrote
not more than five songs in German to my first group and even less
later.
Q: Why no trombone to later in this tour?
R: see, in the past just because I have not played the trombone very
you can almost be considered an obligation, it would be like saying that because of the sound
swing I always have to sing like Frank Sinatra (
and begins to sing and all turn to look at him!)
D: and then the beautiful intro with just your memory of
concerts with the Senior AllStars I can not see them again?
A: Yes, when I have another project which involves a return to the Original ska
Q: perhaps with the Senior AllStars?
A: No, we are divided and they are loose,
fact that the band is on tour this summer for Grover, the TSA (aka The Senior AllStars
) has already created a side project while they were playing with me
and that has nothing to do with the group I accompanied as it provides an immersion
ska jazz
Q: In conclusion, plans for the future?
A: take a tour around Europe during the summer, then enter
in the studio and record an album of swing and a solo album.
D: thanks and congratulations
Interview with King Django
D: Django, you come from New York, as the musical situation in
USA?
R: see, since the mid-nineties we have many good bands who fell in love with ska and reggae a lot of people, so many sounds. But not We have a lively scene at the level of public
Q: How do you live the relationship with Jamaican music?
A: Well I come mainly from ska ska and I love and I've always played very
But while I always enjoyed the reggae and
this tour is proof
Q: How many times have you been playing in Italy? R: This is the ninth, I intend to get to ten before the end of the year
. Unfortunately, this is the only date on this tour in Italy.Q: Plans for the future?
R: playing live for several months and then continue my side
project, including where a band that plays very hard, a rock project
ragga reggae and of course the
D: thanks and congratulations
