     Ciao 
    I JAMBALAYA possono volare a Budapest questo agosto 2011 per partecipare allo Sziget Festival, il più grande festival di musica europeo.
    La votazione si divide in 2 tappe: la prima è " a votazione online" e, nell'eventualità di passare questo primo step, si susseguirà una prossima votazione composta da "giurati del settore"....
    Se hai voglia di perdere questi 5 minuti sappi che io e gli altri elementi del mio gruppo te ne saremo grati: ottenere questo risultato è per noi molto importante !
     
    Parti da questo link sotto e procedi come da istruzioni:
    http://szigetfestival.it/ssf2011.html#top
     
    p.s. So che non è una procedura particolarmente snella ma questo fà sì che la votazione sia sincera e garantisce la serietà di questo festival contest.
     

    Te ne siamo grati....
    Saluti,
    JAMBALAYA

Sharp suits, silly hats and a killer horn section:

The Skamonics are a 7 piece jazz-ska band, playing a unique mix of two-tone, ska, jazz and completely unexpected covers, and featuring musicians who have played with Madness, Amy Winehouse, The Streets and The Trojans.

Highlights so far include a gig at the world famous 100 Club on Oxford Street supporting ska legend Rico Rodriguez, and several sell-out nights at London's ska mecca: Gaz's Rockin' Blues @ the St Moritz, Soho.
