HERE IT IS
Ska Cubano
JAMAICA MEETS CUBA
Ska Cubano fuse the sounds of pre-revolutionary Cuba with Jamaica’s choppy ska and the occasional ripe Colombian Cumbia to create a brew that kicks like a cocktail blending Wray & Nephew + Havana Club. They arrived fully formed in 2004 as the lost musical link between the Caribbean islands of Cuba and Jamaica. Jamaican immigration into Cuba in the 1920s & 1930s guaranteed Cuban cultural kinship with Jamaica, reflected in the huge popularity of Spanish versions of Jamaican calypsos in the 1950s.
The Cuban Revolution in 1959 cut off Cuban/Jamaican cultural interaction, consequently ska never took root in Cuba in the 1960s although founder members of Jamaica’s finest ska outfit The Skatalites, Rolando Alphonso and Tommy McCook, as well as Ska Don Laurel Aitken, were all born there. The emergence of Ska Cubano is the creation of alternative cultural history.
A line up featuring Natty Bo in his Cab Calloway threads on vocals and super-charged stage presence; Megumi Mesaku aka Miss Megoo on Alto and Baritone sax and bringing great musical skill alongside effortless glamour; Jesus Cutino all flowing locks and tres licks; wise sage Eddie ‘Tan Tan’ Thornton who’s played his trumpet with everyone from The Beatles to Georgie Fame’s Blue Flames to Jimi Hendrix to Jazz Jamaica; MD Rey Crespo on rock steady double bass; look the part - and they deliver. They make crowds smile, skank and wind their collective waist. They’re bawdy and infectious, a visual and musical feast, there’s nothing like them. But backing up the obvious fun and frolics there is mucho musicality.
In 2004, debut CD “Ska Cubano” was released to great acclaim:THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

Not true about Castro telling Jamaicans to return home. My grandfather's brother went to Cuba and lived to a ripe old age over 100yo...had a daughter and grand daughter who both repatriated to Jamaica back in 80's...grand daughter was a Dr. and worked at Spanish Twn hospital then Miami where she died....nuff history...Comment

TD check dis MEXICAN ARTIST from 1969
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-iQo...eature=related
I found this one in the "about-to-donate" pile at a record store in Burbank, California. I can't tell you too much about Toño Quirazco as an artist, except for the fact that he was from Mexico and he must have some avid fans, because he has an entire blog dedicated to him.
I was able to translate some of the biography section from the aforementioned blog, and apparently he was born and raised in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. He seems to have done all sorts of things, from medical school, mechanics, engineering, electronics, and eventually music when he moved to Mexico City and signed with the Orfeon label.
Though the same biography mentions he gained popularity when ska music became big in the mid-60s, this album has much more of a Joe Cuba/Hugh Masekela/boogaloo flavor to it. "El Astronauta" and both parts of "Minotauro" have some very interesting sound effects that seem to be made with a pitch-shifted organ (Maybe a synthesizer? Not sure though).
The standout track is clearly "Enciende La Luz Del Amor," or "Turn On Your Love Light" in English. This song, written by Deadric Malone and Joseph Scott, has been recorded by many blues and rock artists. This version, however, is easily the funkiest take on this oft-covered track, with an outstanding (and sample-able) four bar drum break at the beginning.

Makes sense to me that the music would migrate to where ever you have a jamaican influence, panama, c.rica and cuba and by extension latin america by way of the aforementioned spanish influence.
Like the Egyptians whose culture was stolen north ,it must have went south east and west.
