Lotto Boyz - Lotto boyz - Lotto Boyzz hail from Birmingham UK. In September 2016 the vocal duo Ash (21) and Lucas (22) released Afroswing anthems like Hitlist. Before Hitlist had a chance to settle, they followed up with two more self-released singles, Bad Gyal and No Don, honing their sound to a slick mix of earworm vocal hooks and irresistible dance floor energy. Lotto Boyzz (Lotto standing for Last Of The Trill Ones), created a new name for their sound; Afrobean, a word that highlights how they mix afrobeats with their own Caribbean roots – Ash’s family hailing from Montserrat and Lucas’ from Jamaica. Afroswing, also known as Afro Bashment, or less commonly Afrobbean or Afrowave,is a genre of music that developed from the children of diaspora in the UK during the mid-2010s, derivative of dancehall and afrobeats, with influences from trap, British hip hop, R&B, and grime.
The Specials - The Specials are one of the groups that when you mention Ska and two tone music you HAVE to include. The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, were an English 2 tone and ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry.After some early changes, the first stable lineup of the group consisted of Terry Hall and Neville Staple on vocals, Jerry Dammers on keyboards, Lynval Golding and Roddy Radiation on guitars, Horace Panter on bass, John Bradbury on drums, and Dick Cuthell and Rico Rodriguez on horns. The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits and loafers)". Their music combines the danceable rhythms of ska and rocksteady with the energy and attitude of punk. Rude boy is a subculture that originated from 1960s Jamaican street culture. In the late 1970s, there was a revival in England of the terms rude boy and rude girl, among other variations like rudeboy and rudebwoy, being used to describe fans of two-tone and ska. This revival of the subculture and term was partially the result of Jamaican immigration to the UK and the so-called "Windrush" generation. The use of these terms moved into the more contemporary ska punk movement as well. In the UK and especially Jamaica, the terms rude boy and rude girl are used in a way similar to gangsta, yardie, or badman. TwoTone or Ska - Rock is a genre of british popular music from the late 1970s that fused traditional Jamaican SKA rocksteady and reggae with elements of punk rock and new wave music. Its name comes from the 2 tone records the record label founded in 1979 by Jerry dammers of The Specials and references a desire to transcend racial tensions in th*tcher-era Brit*in. Many two tone groups such as the specials and the beat featured a mix of black and white artists which reflected the influence of Black diasporic identity on British culture due to the mass migration of West indian people during the 40s-50s. These Caribbean Migrants sent for their children or where having children in the UK these children began the diaspora community in the UK with a population seeking not only to find their African roots but also fit in with the environment around them (rightly or wrongly).
