Mr. Symarip

Ska and Reggae Pioneer

Mr. Symarip is not an individual artist but rather a reference to the band Symarip, which was a ska and reggae band from the United Kingdom that became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The members were predominantly immigrants from Jamaica and are best known for their contributions to the skinhead subculture and music scene. Their music was a blend of ska, rocksteady, and reggae, and they are particularly noted for their hit "Skinhead Moonstomp," which became an anthem for the skinhead movement. The album "Skinhead Moonstomp" was released in 1970 and included tracks that resonated with the skinhead community. Symarip's influence on the skinhead reggae genre was significant, and they remain an important part of its history.
