A mature ensemble that blends ska and soul.
This album represents Skapara's mid-period. It blends jazz and soul into ska rhythms, developing a rich and intricate sound.
This album boasts a level of perfection that transcends the boundaries of instrumental ska. The meticulous horn arrangements and groovy rhythm section come together to create an uplifting, lively feel on "Down Beat Stomp." "Raise It All Up" incorporates elements of funk and soul, achieving a genre-defying expression. This masterpiece highlights the band's maturity and multi-layered sound construction.
