The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XIV

Roka Hueka, "Skank It!" from ¡Volar! (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: I find it impossible to listen to "Skank It!," even as I compose this post, without bopping my head & shimmying my shoulders, if not getting up & low-intensity skanking right here in my room. Ska! Ska! Ska!

Google Translate doesn't quite know what to make of "Roka Hueka," but they are a Denver-based ska band who bill themselves as "Latin Ska," tapping into the deep popularity of ska throughout Latin America, which remains largely unknown to many "Anglo" Norteamericanos. ¡Bienvenidos a SKApril, Roka Hueka!
