RedSka is is an Italian ska band formed in 2001 in Romagna. In 2004 following their victory in a band contest called "conKorso" they publish their first official album Mi son sbagliato nel confondermi ("I was mistaken while confusing myself") (Sana Records / Audioglobe), a blend of ska-punk with strong influences of californian ska, mixed with reggae, raggamuffin, swing, blues, hardcore e rocksteady sounds. There are already some relevant participation such as The Hormonauts and Enri. The RedSka has made live concerts next to: Banda Bassotti, Matrioska, Strawman,Los Fastidios, The Good Fellas. The lyrics, save for a few songs are centered mainly on politics, religion, work and against wars and racial discriminations stressing more firmly the band's social commitment.
