When it comes to Ska Cubano, Peter Scott, Natty Bo and Beny Billy, rarely has the expression a "match made in heaven" been so apropos. Take classic rhythms from Jamaica and Cuba, mash them together, add ample of amounts of intoxicating melodies and a dash of jest; the result is a magical musical cocktail that has been setting dance floors ablaze from London to Tokyo.

The idea of creating a Cuban ska band originated with Peter Scott, a British entrepreneur and music lover whose business ventures brought him regularly to Jamaica and Cuba. Scott invited Natty B, a popular London DJ, was an avid collector of old Cuban 78s, and suggested bringing other flavors into the mix such as Colombian cumbia, Jamaican mento and Trinidadian calypso. While in Santiago, Natty Bo heard Cuban crooner Beny Billy belting it out in a bar, and knew then and there he had found his vocal counterpart on the project. Back in London, Natty Bo formed a band featuring the leading maestros of Cuban and Jamaican music, and the group set about bringing the irresistible Ska Cubano sound to the concert stage.
