The music was a perfect mix of our requests for some traditional holiday music along with basic samba/latin styled music as well. They were always accommodating to all my requests. Thank you for making our party such a success!" Based in New York Nadia P. Photo of Never Lose Touch Never Lose Touch "My daughter found and booked NLT for her August 2025 wedding in Peekskill NY. You could not ask for a better, more accommodating, accomplished, amazing band. The musicians were all great, engaged and they made the party fantastic. Robert worked with my daughter all along-they developed the playlist, they worked out everything well in advance of the event, and the band was there, settled in and ready to go. Robert was always accessible, (and I think forgave me when I rudely got makeup on him and tried to wipe it off. Apologies, Robert!) NLT-beyond any reasonable expectation. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful group." Based in Jamaica, New York Jetlagrower - Private Wedding Photo of The Brooklyners The Brooklyners "The sun is shining from the first bar in this soon to be a hit song! It is the first one David Langlois ever wrote and it's about his falling in love for Africa at first sight. When I got the track and listened to it, I thought this should be number 1 on the charts! So i play it on my show the next morning, and I started hearing from listeners sending love messages from all over the world! I told him how much I love the richness of the sounds and that he was a real Jamaican to which he responded " a Frenchaican".

Reggae and ska bands range from small line-ups to larger groups with brass sections, and the number of musicians is the main cost factor.

The reggae / ska bands perform reggae, ska, rocksteady, dub and Caribbean-influenced music. Many bands cover classic reggae and ska hits alongside their own material, and some also incorporate elements of pop, rock and funk to broaden their appeal.

The most popular events for reggae / ska bands include summer parties, festivals, weddings, corporate events, beach-themed celebrations and pub or bar gigs. Reggae and ska music create a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere that encourages dancing.

Most reggae / ska bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system. For larger outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming equipment details with the band.
