Kortatu

Punk rock
Punk rockSka

Kortatu is a Punk rock and Ska act. Their sound grew out of The Clash, Toots and the Maytals, Public Enemy, La Polla Records and Karamelo Santo. Those roots explain a lot about how Kortatu arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Siniestro Total, Boikot, Ska-P, Berri Txarrak and Reincidentes, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Obrint Pas, Inadaptats, Bongo Botrako, La Polla Records and Eskorbuto, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Kortatu, reaching back through The Clash and forward to Obrint Pas.
