Melbourne Ska Orchestra is a high-energy, genre-blending ensemble hailing from Australia, known for their infectious rhythms and massive brass sections. Formed in 2003 under the direction of Nicky Bomba, the band brings together musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds to deliver an electrifying fusion of traditional ska, reggae, big band, and jazz influences. Their performances are famously vibrant and theatrical, often featuring up to 30 musicians on stage, all contributing to the orchestra’s big sound and party-like atmosphere.
Over the years, Melbourne Ska Orchestra has gained international acclaim for their dynamic live shows and prolific output, including albums like their self-titled debut and the ambitious "One Year of Ska" project, which saw them releasing a song every week. With a spirit that celebrates unity, rhythm, and joy, the group continues to be a driving force in the global ska scene, bringing the party wherever they go.
