Skapa - Ska Party

Photobucket

You may remember Skapa's song 'Ska Polka' from 'Skankin' Round the World vol.5'. They were a band fom New Zealand that formed in 1988. They have only one full length called Easy Street from 1992 that was only released on cassette (no I don't have it...I've been desperately looking for it for years) that features 8 studio and 7 live tracks.

This is their first recording. It's a 4 track EP from 1992 called 'Ska Party' that was only ever released on cassette.

2 It's Your Round
3 Ska Polka
4 Easy Street (extended version)

    Hey, cool to find this here. I approve 100% of sharing rare older music. I was bassplayer /songwriter of some of these tunes for Skapa, and of course have the other cassette with studio / live stuff you mentioned (plus lots more! Now dubbed to MP3) - I can send you a copy to share if you'd like ....

    Hey Joseskatalitico, if Skapa has sent you the skaotearoa CD, can you please upload? Many thanks.

    Currently uploading a couple of albums by NZ Ska band 'The Managers'. Will send through links shortly.

    Respect. Chewybaca

    I would love to hear Skaotearoa again. I was in Bwa Da Riddim, we had a couple of songs on that CD, but I have no copy of it. Any help appreciated!
