Punky Reggae Party - Oingo Boingo
b'Welcome to \\u201cPunky Reggae Party\\u201d a special audio documentary series of the Ska Boom podcast that focuses on the historical origins and impact of reggae on popular music that will explore the phenomenon of punk and post-punk bands adopting the sounds of reggae. The musical development which ignited Danny Elfman\\u2019s interest in starting Oingo Boingo and inspired him to start writing his first conventional pop songs was the emergence of British 2 Tone ska bands whose music reminded him of the Highlife he had heard when he travelled throughout West Africa in the early 70s. As he said in an interview: \\u201cHearing the ska that came out of England around 1978 is what turned me around. Highlife was a little more Latin than ska, but really up-tempo. It was hearing The Specials, Selecter and Madness and then XTC, who really clicked for me.\\u201dSka Boom is hosted/co-produced by Marc Wasserman & co-produced/engineered by Rob George.Please note: The music clips included in this podcast fall under the \\u201cFair Use Doctrine\\u201d as defined by Section 107 of the Copyright Act.
