Биография

La Matatena’s proposal base on SKA is to have fun while making music and at the same time entertain people and get them involved. La Matatena’s sound does not have only a single tendency, we took ska as a founding sound but not limited to other genres. The musical sense of La Matatena searches to create an interactive message-response. Music is not and it shouldn’t be a monologue, on the contrary, it should be the answer to an unlimited number of codes shared in culturally way. What La Matatena expresses with sound, it’s a projection of the essence of our bodies seeking out to join emotions and sentiments under the exclamation of our generation. Today, LA MATATENA comes back, with a new line up, integrating well renowned musicians with different music influences, creating a total new concept directed to all ages, targets and countries, fusing other music genres to the one that gave birth and wich La Matatena pioneered in Mexico (1992-2020), SKA. La Matatena has shared stage with famous bands like DesordenPúblico (Who also collaborated on the first album), Skatalites, The Specials, Save Ferris, Voodoo Glow skulls, Pies Negros,Ska-P, DefconDos, Todos tus Muertos, Negu Gorriak, Horace Martin, Horace Andy, Mungos Hi Fi and many many more.. La Matatena continues and is right now in studio producing it’s new album “PURA VIDA”, where once again brings back the sool and smooth sound of true ska fused with a world beat sound and Balkan, something like World-Balkan-Ska!
