Band: MENTO BURU

Who: A 7-piece band from Bakersfield, CA that combines an energetic
blend of Latin alternative, Jamaican SKA and reggae sounds. They’re veterans
of ska music’s hyperactive nineties third wave.

The squad just released their new EP East Bakersfield Christmas II. Stream it below.

“We had such an overwhelming response to our last holiday release. There was no doubt
in our minds that we had to keep this project going. We are so Thankful to KCSOS and our generous community sponsors for this collaboration and look forward to sharing this new collection of songs with our fans who’ve given us so much support all these years. Merry Christmas and Feliz Navidad!”

Focus track: CHRISTMAS TIME IN BAKERSFIELD.

Here’s a most fitting feel-good Xmas vibe to sing-hum-whistle along around
the Christmas tree with your family. Its hip-shaking ska/reggae catchiness triggers
your best dance moves and causes heart-and-soul delight. Much welcome in these
times of horrible conflicts.

Enjoy.

Band: MENTO BURU
Who: A 7-piece band from Bakersfield, CA that combining an energetic blend of Latin alternative, Jamaican SKA, and reggae sounds. Veterans of ska music’s hyperactive nineties third wave, the group has released music on the Moon Ska and Steady Beat record labels. The band’s name refers to two forms of early Jamaican folk music styles, which make up the rhythmic foundation of what would become ska and reggae music in the 1960s.

New EP: SKALLOWEEN

Info: A six-song Extended Play of reimagined Halloween music classics originally recorded and released by Bakersfield Sound icons Buck Owens and Ronnie Cook & The Gaylads.

Turn Up The Volume: Just leave your death metal albums on the shelf this year with Halloween. Why? With this steaming EP you can organise also a moshpit with your friends. But instead of banging you’re heads against each other with concussions as a result, you can safely go Ska bonkers now. Warning: don’t fall over your feet while shuffling them like crazy and while shaking your booty too fast, or you’ll have the same painful outcome as with your metalloween havoc.
