While checking out these  Intensified early ska compilations they list all the musicians involved in the recordings and the name that jumped out was a drummer listed as Drumbago which quite frankly is just the coolest nickname ever. 

Turns out Arkland Parkes aka Drumbago was a key figure in the development of Ska, he performed on what is widely accepted as the first recorded ska song, “Easy Snapping.”

Nice write up on him here

Credits on Jamaican music? That’s positively demented.

this is really cool - tho i question some of the regionally-specific genres identified... ukrainian phonk?  south african pop dance?  italian folk metal?  malaysian tamil rap?  rock curitibano?  idaho hip hop?  seriously???

my new favorite genre: unblack metal (so... white metal?  colored metal?!?)

I needed this bit of musical trivia to make my day smile.

I just discovered there's a band out there that does covers of Grateful Dead songs, while completely in drag.
