"Hard Times" is the opening track of their debut album, as well as the lead-off single - reflecting difficult times in a cheerful fashion, because the "hard times gonna pass you by" . The eclectic legacy of Jamaican music has continued to create a wide variety of new musical impulses over the last five decades. Whether Ska, Reggae, Dub or Dancehall - the small Caribbean island has continually produced entirely new genres of music that reflect the struggles, successes and great ingenuity of its people. Inspired by new production technologies and cultural shifts, Jamaican music never ceases to bear new fruits. With their debut album, THE UNLIMITERS have taken up this tradition with the aim of forging new paths. The eight-piece set from Berlin is largely inspired by early Ska, a style of music created at the beginning of the 1960s when Calypso merged with Jazz and Rhythm in Blues to form a unique and home-grown Jamaican sound that is still exemplified by unforgettable artists such as The Skatalites and Prince Buster. THE UNLIMITERS... eight people, eight-and-a-half instruments - teamed up in Berlin's underground to unleash their smart and bouncing beats and harmonies to the dancefloor - probably right in your nighborhood, so watch out!
