About Me

ModMySpace Profile Customizer Latin-ska fusion from the Northern Havana!
What people say:
Markscheider Kunst: a Russian band with a German name that plays music that sounds like the African tropics.

Markscheider Kunst , for some reason they have a german name. It's a mix of reggae, ska and klezmer. I think the members are from cuban families, they sing mostly in russian, the end result is amazing, I love it.

Great ska-folk-worldbeat band from St. Petersburg; check them out live - 2 hours of sweat and good vibes.
