So I came across the heavy metal post, and while I do love metal (between the buried and me, the acacia strain, born of osiris) :) I also listen to a lot of ska. So, does anyone know any foreign ska bands? I think that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.

Ok, I went a little overboard and looked through my favourite music site,
rateyourmusic.com, and picked out some bands with foreign names, and it gave a good
list of results. I've grouped them by language. Now, I'm not sure they're all "Ska" as
such (some may be more punk than Ska), but from what I heard, there's some decent ones
there.

EDIT: Lol, turns out I didn't have anything better to do tonight than search for ska-
bands on Youtube. I more or less managed to find some horn-infused punk or rock form in
just about every European language with some exceptions. Well, enjoy...

In Japan the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra are hugely popular. Not sure if they're still
going though.
