The Specials es una banda británica de ska (más precisamente del estilo que se conoce como 2 Tone) formada en 1977 en Coventry. Junto a Madness es una de las bandas más importantes que haya dado el género. Luego de muchos años de estar separados, en 2009 han vuelto al ruedo, subidos al revival que el 2 tone y el ska esta viviendo en el mundo.
Empezaron tocando ska y punk; más tarde fusionaron todo estos estilos, creando un nuevo sonido que fue concido como 2 Tone.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
