Ras Muhamad

Ras Muhamad is from Jakarta and is a bit of a depature from my usual posts. Not only is Ras Muhamad influenced by ska and reggae but also a more modern hip-hop sound. Some of you won't like some of the tracks but track 7 "Leaving Babylon" makes the whole album worth downloading. I love that song and if you like ska/reggae you will too.

The Fishka

The Fishka is a traditional Skinhead Reggae/ska band from Bekasi. They formed in 1997 and have been featured on one comp, "Together As One II". They have also recorded one album, "One Love, One Heart, One Family" in 2002 on The Fishka & Lion's Roar Records. They lost the DAT tape for their recordings and moved to a new record label, Warrior Records, to re-release their album. The Fishka were the second Indonesian skin band that I ran across and I feel in love with them. They play great traditional music with actual intelligent lyrics. Stupid Law is my favorite track.
