History

From their start in 1997 the band modeled themselves on The Skatalites.

They released their first album in November 2000 and in December 2000 they reached number one in the Popolare Network chart, the most important independent radio chart in Italy.

They perform regularly in Italy, France and Eastern Europe and have opened for The Trojans, The Skatalites and Manu Chao.

Their recordings have been used as theme tunes for programs on both Rai 2 and Rai 3.

In 2001 they became a nonprofit cultural association whose aim is to spread Jamaican music.
