Reggae / Ska Bands for Hire in Spain

"History: At the end of 2022, Ras Maxx David decided to put together a new reggae band, after more than 15 years leading the roots reggae band Shakti I&I. That's how he got together with Johan, Clot's kid, on guitar and Tomas from Argentinian Córdoba on drums. The first line-up had Ronald Salamandra on bass and Andres Tosh on keyboards, both Venezuelans. On vocals, they collaborated with Monica, Ursula, Carlota and today with Alba. The current lineup features Mel (Ras Kuko, Roe Delgado, Gadys, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on bass guitar, and Dontai directly from Puerto Rico (Shakti I&I, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on keyboards. Juanele completes the equipment from the sound console with live dub effects. They have premiered at the Palau St Jordi at the Biocultura 2023 fair, at several major festivals in Barcelona (Poble Nou, Navas, La Sedeta) and several famous clubs in the city (Jamboree, Marula, Diobar, Almo2Bar, BlackLab, Estraperlo, Garage Beer, etc.) Ras Maxx David is presenting his latest LP titled "No Competition". (2025)."

"Here’s a clean, engaging review you can use: Review: Skabella (a.k.a. Skafeinados) Skabella—also known around the Costa del Sol as Skafeinados—bring an infectious, high-energy burst of classic ska wherever they play. This is a band that clearly understands the roots of the genre, delivering tight, upbeat rhythms, punchy horns, and a warm, nostalgic sound that gets crowds moving from the very first track. Their setlist is a tour through the ska greats, blending iconic hits with deeper cuts that show real respect for the music’s history. What stands out most is their authenticity: nothing feels forced, over-rehearsed, or gimmicky. They play with heart, humour, and a genuine love for the scene. On stage, Skabella have the kind of chemistry you only get from musicians who enjoy every minute up there. The energy bounces between them and the audience, creating a party atmosphere that feels effortless. Whether you’re a lifelong ska fan or just someone looking for a lively night out, they hit the mark every time. In a region where live music can be hit-or-miss, Skafeinados are a standout. Their shows are fun, spirited, and packed with the soul of true ska. Highly recommended."

"Chris - I freaking love it. Literally was sitting in a doctor's office and started involuntarily smiling and dancing in my seat during your first drum fill. I think you get what I'm looking for, I'm really happy. I love that you're doing your own thing while also fitting inside and amplifying the groove I'm trying to get at. Many many thanks! You're a terrific drummer!"
