klezmer and ska?

[Gerben Zaagsma <gerbn...>]

Dear all,

with the recent discussion on 'punk' and klezmer I suddenly rembered having
read something somewhere about (I think it was) the Klezmatics who did
something with music by the Skatalites. Could anyone tell me if this is
true? It sounds like the best of two worlds and actually not illogical:
sometimes when I hear klezmer I can almost hear the backbeat..
