Skankin’ Monks
Authentic beats with a new vibe, this is what The Skankin’ Monks are all about, a reggae formation from Amsterdam who can’t be generalized. The band gets its inspiration from several styles that can be heard on their tracks, like reggae, rocksteady, soul, hip-hop and dub, They also work with singers from various genres to create some new and unique styles.
The band name The Skankin’ Monks is very appropriate, As monks they meditate on the music that they create. Smooth bass lines, powerful drums and dub effects, this makes this band both unique and original. The Skankin’ Monks have a great passion for this music that reaches a broad audience, and they have only one goal, to let everyone enjoy this wonderful blend of cultures.
