Ska-P
|
SKA-P is a ska punk band formed in Madrid, Spain, in 1994, that could be categorized, politically, as a leftist - almost anarchist - musical group. Despite its radical views, it remains one of the most popular ska bands in Spain and Europe.
 Musically, despite their fun image, Ska-P has well-rehearsed and tight arrangements, and as of 2002, includes among its members, and makes good use of, a small but striking brass section, creating a powerful sound which sets the band apart from others in the genre. The band name (pronounced as es'ka-peh) is a play on the Spanish word for 'escape' and ska p(unk). The name further takes advantage of the letter k common to ska, and since the early 80s, also closely associated with the Madrid working-class district of Vallecas, as a symbol of working-class pride. Thus, Vallekas and many other occurrences of the k instead of the c or qu in Spanish words.  SKA-P is very open and frank about their views. Common themes throughout SKA-P's songs are human rights, including abolishment of the death penalty, social injustice, anti-fascism, anti-capitalism, legalization of marijuana, and animal rights "An awful year. A year in which we have decided to stop. will it be forever?, we just don't know, but we need to pause. Unfortunately, the music we've already written won't be released (yet), in order for us to rest, spend time with family and friends, and work on some solo projects you'll soon be able to listen to. Nobody in Ska-p has said that we will not return to the scenes in one, two, or six years, maybe that's what will happen. Only time will tell. All the best.
