Overview

Description:
At last, it has happened and we should rejoice about it. The paths of Spain’s main Jamaican music label and the Basque Country’s most veteran Ska / Rocksteady outfit have finally come together, after 23 years.
Akatz are not Jamaican, or British, and they do not attempt to appear to be. To their credit, they have found their own way to be regarded as genuine, recognizable and unique performers of music of Jamaican origin. They sing their own compositions, in spanish and basque, relating their everyday realities - their lyrics are seasoned by the rough character than Bilbainos are known for, and they do so over a foundation of jamaican oldies spiced up, where appropriate, with the dancing elements of Swing, Punk attitudes or even ventures into suggestive live dub remixes if the occasion requires it.
Recorded at Euridia studios by Ibon Larrucea -one of the founding member of the band- and mixed by cantabrian producer Roberto Sanchez at his A-Lone Ark Studio, Akatz fourth album sums up the entire range of their music. The spectrum of styles ranges from instrumental ska that will take your breath away (Skarmentu), through mellow Rock Steady (Empty of You), anthems designed to be chanted for audiences to shout their head’s off at the peak of any social event (Mas Ruido, Fiesta del 73, Joaquín Murrieta), organ dominated, early Reggae  (Comida Casera) , songs of social criticism rooted in current events (Skandalo)  and even tunes that achive an astonishingly natural connection between Jazz and Ska (Ansiedad, De Cine).
This brand new Akatz work is not just a nice 12 inch vinyl album to be kept fondly on the shelf, or to be played at an oldies session, since it also has its replica where these Bilbao lads offer their best side: on a live stage.
