On this week’s episode we chat with Salvador Luna from Meskales. Salvador tells us how he went from listening to ska music to play ska music. We learn about Salvador’s first band in Mexico and how he later moved to the states and started Meskales. Next we listen to the band’s new song, Mis Amigos. Salvador also talks about being in a Latin ska band in an area where there aren’t many other Latin ska bands. Lastly, we give you ska news and our ska picks of the week.
