Do you guys know any ska or reggae with female vocalist ? I like the PapaFish it's the only ska I know with a female vocalist Thnk yu ^_^
Well this is a 9-y.o. thread... but I got curious and went looking for PapaFish. Pretty obscure, just two vids on YouTube. I listened to this one: and was puzzled! Their overall sound has a faint resemblance to ska, but for my money they are way too slick, too... I dunno, too house-ish? This, now is real ska: LOVE Toots & the Maytals! And Desmond Dekker: R E A L S K A ! ! !
