Santana joins a ska band.
World-Beat Funky Jazzy Ska.
Blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms and a swinging horn section with original punky ska rock, Hullabaloo really live up to their name, creating an outrageous uproar everywhere they go. With an almost Mothers-like appraoch, the band variously contains anywhere from six to eleven members. Either way, stripped down or stacked up, Hullabaloo is an upbeat, dance crazy, chaotic joy ride that is both catchy and weirdly experimental. Based out of Ann Arbor, Hullabaloo is well known and well respected and rightfully so.
-Ryan A. Bunch - Toledo City Paper
"Ann Arbor’s Hullabaloo on the other hand makes a groovy racket that only re-enforces their name, but does so with a metered, horn-driven swing touching on ska, punk and blues with some just nice slices of Dixieland swirled up in there somewhere."
