Bim Skala Bim (40th Anniversary Tour) w/s/gs Zeme Libre & El Grande

Bim Skala Bim formed 40 years ago in Boston, MA as a Ska Rock band that was influenced by the bands in England’s 2 Tone movement, as well as the music of the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley. Bim’s infectious Boston Blue Beat sound led them to be one of the premier bands kick-starting the Third Wave of Ska in the 1980s.

ZEME LIBRE is a New England based band that has garnered a reputation for its unique, high energy blend of Afrobeat, reggae, ska, and funk. Whether on a stage at a local club or a large profile festival, Zeme Libre packs a wall of sound that is sure to get the crowd moving and dancing.

El Grande: Attitude fueled by rock and roll and punk ethics gives life to El Grande‘s original brand of ska. A fixture in the talented Portland, Maine music scene, El Grande has been playing shows throughout the northeast for the past decade, winning over ska purists and skeptics of the punk scene.
