Skank


Skank was formed in 1991, in Belo Horizonte, the same Brazilian city that gave Milton Nascimento to the world. The group started moving the interest from dancehall Jamaican to the Brazilian tradition pop. They launched their first album in an independent form. In 1994 they launched “Calango” and top-hits as “Jackie Tequila” and “Te Ver”.
Their next CD called “Poconé” took the group to present in France, the United States, Chile, Argentina, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Germany. The single “Garota Nacional” was a monstrous success in Brazil.
They started playing electronic music. The five first months of 2003 had been invested in the preparation of “Cosmotron”, their new CD. The group went on an international tour to Portugal, England and Belgium.
In 2004 they launched “Radiola”.
After “Radiola” they haven’t launched any new CDs.
