The first evening in the TIFF Campus will be kept rolling by The Toasters, a legendary ska band from New York, active since 1981. The members of the group were called by the Billboard magazine “the pioneers of ska”. In their 34 years of existence so far they’ve put out 16 albums and had over 5000 concerts, for which they traveled over 1 million miles. They are often compared to The Ramones, thanks to their longevity and based on the principles they employ in their musical creations. Joining The Toasters on the same night will be German-Ukrainian band RotFront, who reimagine ska with a mix of russian reggae, hungarian garage-rock, klezmer and hip-hop influences, into a creative world music collage. Cluj-based DJ Socol will play the after-party.
