#442 :: LIVE Recording Wednesday :: The Skatalites LIVE in Argentina, 2005 (29 March 2017)

GO FEET! Radio #442
Wednesday 15 March 2017
10pm-11pm NZ time, FreeFM89.0

This episode starts a new feature on GO FEET! Radio where we will play LIVE tracks or a whole concert from a band/artists on the fourth Wednesday of each month. To start this new feature we're taking things back to where it all begun - THE SKATALITES. Without them we wouldn't have what we know as Ska today, nor would there have been the evolution of Jamaican music as we've had it. Perhaps it would have morphed into something else, who knows. All we know is The Skatalites = SKA!!! 

The LIVE Skatalites concert we're bringing you in this episode is The Skatalites recorded live at TEATRO ARMENIO, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sept 23-24, 2005. We've selected tunes from both nights. Enjoy!!

Three days before his 58th birthday on 15 February 2017 Perkins was diagnosed with bowel cancer. One week later following an MRI & CT scan it was confirmed by the consultant that the cancer had advanced and was non-treatable with months to live. Despite this prognosis Perkins will not give up and remains positive.
