MARK FOGGO'S SKASTERS | On the road with his band as the "missionary of ska" since the 1980s
He has been on the road with his band as the "missionary of ska" since the 1980s, is considered one of the most important players in this scene in Europe and has seen several revivals of this musical genre come and go in his many years in show business, without being impressed by them. The Dutchman-by-choice is known above all for his energetic and manic performances and his crazy stage personality - the album "Ska Pig", released in 1989 at the latest, helped him achieve worldwide success and is still considered a milestone of the genre today: it is characterized by a fast, very danceable style and is regularly mentioned in the same breath as the works of THE HOTKNIVES, MR. REVIEW or THE TOASTERS. The current album "Ska Pig Returns!" continues this story and even at over seventy-five years of age, the singer gets the audience dancing and partying at concerts until the room is boiling and sweat is dripping from the ceiling!
