@Pabllov Seeee ojala algun dia pueda conocer el bellisimo pais de Brasil. Saludos mi amigo.

[Pabllov]

@gerinverno79 Talvez possa ser um novo Ska Californiano... É que por aqui, temos muitas bandas de ska, porém do estilo jamaicano. =P

Saudações de Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil =]

[gerinverno79]

@Pabllov Bueno si, totalmente de acuerdo con usted pero tome en cuenta que este es un musico californiano y talvez solo eso ese es ska para el. Afortunadamente tu sabes de buenas bandas como las que mencionas.Saludos desde Guadalajara, Mexico.

[Pabllov]

@gerinverno79 Se escutarmos os clássicos como Skatalites, e mesmo bandas que senguem o estilo como Moon Invaders, verás a diferença. Nem mesmo parece o ska californiano. E, sendo uma "Drum Lesson" deveria seguir o modelo tradicional do ska jamaicano, ou, no mínimo o californiano... É o que acho... =]
