The Specials

Historia

The Specials es una banda británica de ska (más precisamente del estilo que se conoce como 2 Tone) formada en 1977 en Coventry. Junto a Madness es una de las bandas más importantes que haya dado el género.
Empezaron tocando ska, punk y pop, y más tarde fusionaron todos estos estilos, creando un nuevo sonido que fue conocido como 2 Tone. Sus temas más conocidos incluyen A Message To You Rudy, Ghost Town (su máximo hit), Too Much Too Young y su debut, Gangsters.
The Specials ha influido a multitud de bandas alrededor del mundo, desde Rancid o Kortatu a No Doubt, pasando por los argentinos Karamelo Santo, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs y Los Pericos. Los miembros originales de la banda fueron Jerry Dammers, Terry Hall, Roddy Radiation, John Bradbury, Sir Horace Gentleman (también conocido como Horace Panter), Lynval Golding y Neville Staples.
Naturalmente al pertenecer al estilo de la música "Ska" tenían una visión antirracista y de unificación por la libertad, haciendo canciones como por ejemplo a Nelson Mandela, quien en ese entonces se encontraba preso.
