Join us for an unforgettable night as The Skatalites celebrate over 60 years of authentic Jamaican ska with Village Presents: The Skatalites @ Littlefield! This legendary band, formed in 1964, features original members who played on countless recording sessions backing iconic artists like Bob Marley, Toots and The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, and many more. Their rich history is woven into the very fabric of Jamaican music, from ska to rocksteady to reggae.
After disbanding in 1965, the members continued to influence the scene through various projects before reuniting in 1983 to perform at Reggae Sunsplash in Montego Bay and London. Since then, the band has toured tirelessly around the world, supporting reggae legends like Bunny Wailer and headlining their own US tours, including debut shows at The Village Gate in NYC in 1986. Their infectious sound and energetic performances continue to excite audiences of all ages across the globe.
This evening also features the vibrant Brooklyn Reggae All-Stars, a dynamic collective rooted in NYC’s reggae scene. Known for their high-energy performances and deep-rooted chemistry, they blend classic styles with modern influences, ensuring every show is unique and memorable. Expect a powerful mix of roots, rocksteady, dub, and conscious lyricism, all delivered with the spirit of Brooklyn’s diverse and creative reggae community.
