Performance Detail
Although South Korea is about as far from Jamaica as a country could be, that hasn’t prevented authentic Jamaican music, namely ska and reggae, from reaching her shores. The nine-piece ska band Kingston Rudieska filters and fuses ska, jazz, reggae, dub and nyahbinghi through Korean experience.
Korea’s first traditional ska band, Kingston Rudieska, has been paying respect to the roots since they began in 2004.
The nine- piece band blends bluebeat ska, jazz, reggae, dub, and nyahbinghi chanting into a final product
that is uniquely Korean; something the band has dubbed "Feast Ska." Their shows mix foot-stomping instrumentals
- fronted by a four-piece horn section - with warm, soulful vocal features. One of Kingston Rudieska’s strengths has always been a willingness to experiment and improvise with the ska and reggae genres, staying true to their Jamaican influences while often infusing their music with a uniquely Korean twist.
