Hey grovers and shakers,
Melbourne Ska Orchestrsa is doing a sweet little thing and sharing some of our fav tunes with you by starting a rolling playlist of global offbeat hipshakers. Updated weekly to keep things fresh.
Week One: Theme – Global Hipshakin’
Curated by: Nicky Bomba
About the selections: “Classic reggae from Dave and Ansel Collins kicks off the selection this week with a journey into some global grooves that I always go back to. From the explosion of early ska and reggae with a UK twist, Godfather tones of JB then sliding into some love for Africa and the Caribbean. Seasoned with a sensible handful of Jazz and R&B this list is a surefire winner”
Be sure to follow the playlist and the band to stay in the loop.

We’re all energised and excited to bring some fresh songs to the stage, crank up the mayhem dial and watch the magic unfold. Touring with 20+ musicians is no easy feat, so it might be some time before we attempt this juggernaut again!
Get your tickets (if you haven’t already) and join us in a wicked celebration of Life, Love, Danger and Ska!

Nicky spends a good deal of his life touring the globe as an internationally renowned musician. As one would imagine, a pursuit to keep the mind and spirit active in the many hours of traveling is a necessity. One afternoon in Manchester UK, realizing he’d forgotten his pens on the tour bus, he began experimenting with rubbing plant material, flowers, soil, grass etc directly onto art paper, observing a theme from random creations and intuitive forms. This immediate, tactile and organic process of developing something in a short space of time appealed greatly, in contrast to songs which can sometimes take months to complete. …Looking around the garden he imagined the possibilities, smiled, then realized he was late for sound check. The seed was planted…
