Rhoda Dakar, a pioneering British musician, rose to prominence as the lead singer of The Bodysnatchers, an all-female ska band formed in 1979. Known for their energetic performances and politically charged lyrics, The Bodysnatchers quickly became a key part of the 2 Tone movement. Dakar's powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence set her apart. Post-Bodysnatchers, she collaborated with The Specials and Special AKA, contributing to the iconic track "Free Nelson Mandela." Throughout her career, Dakar has been celebrated for her influence on ska and punk, earning accolades for her contributions to music and her enduring impact on the genre.
