It’s been a pretty amazing adventure with the Melbourne Ska Orchestra. Born out of love for the genre back in 2003, the energy that all the musicians have invested has translated into a fun filled mission in the name of Ska. The music by it’s nature is a community event when performed and we’re lucky to have created a family vibe that has propelled this special thing we’ve created into a double decade story of Joy. 20 years young is a valid description of where we’re at as the excitement and creativity within the band is still burning strong. With our World Tours and Awards we know we’re doing something unique and positive in the music world.
This single is a snapshot so far….so much more to come…..
Long Live Melbourne Ska Orchestra!
Long Live Ska!
LYRICS:
20 years young to the day
When the orchestra started to play
Hep cats from Melbourne town
Got together for the Monster Sound
Hip vibe in the Gershwin room
Oh Saint Kilda she went boom boom boom
Celebrating 1963 Jump Up 40th anniversary.
Why don’t we do this again
We can party like the best of them
Feels like we all belong
Knew we had Something Strong
Fell in love with the 2Tone thing
Originated in Jamaican Swing
Coxsonne, The Duke MrBeckford too
Mosquito jump in the hot Calallo
A record contract who would ever guess
Mashed up Womad and the big bluesfest
Montréal Turkey and Glastonbury
NewYork, London at the BBC
