    BACKGROUND:
    The enforcer of the SKALINSKI sound syndicate cut his teeth (which is actually quite difficult) on the original 60's SKA sound but was exiled by the then ruling SKA lords for messing with  the holy tradition of Jamaican SKA by mixing it with other forms. On the run he travelled through much of the old Soviet Eastern Bloc countries disguised as a toothless old gypsey and eventually made it back home when the wall fell in 1989. By this time he had developed his powers of SKA, learning its secrets from his by then gypsey brothers with their secret language and generations-old knowledge of the way of Skank.. Founder of the Jeet Kunt Skank form of SKA drumming, it is said that he lives in a secret hideout in the hills where he practices the art of one man skanking in contemplative seclusion.
