Backed against the wall (feat Caprice & Mc Complex)

Christos DC meets The Skankin'Monks  'Human Dignity'

Peter Tetteroo vocals recorded in 1969, the band recorded in 2011. Released on the 2011 CDM Ma Belle Amie PSEUDONYM CDP-1093-S under the name: THE SKANKIN' MONKS feat. PETER TETTEROO

Chris Elandt: drums, percussion * Michael Knabe: bass & rhythm guitar * Sander Baas: keyboards, melodica * Ruud Kleiss: trumpet * Erwin Benjamins: saxophone * Denise Anken: backing vocals * Peter Tetteroo: vocals, backing vocals

The Skankin' Monks build bridges between past and present, between different genres and nationalities. The Amsterdam reggae band recorded a steamy version of their 'homegrown' killer classic Smoke With The Pope with their hero Eek-A-Mouse. In addition, the monks mixed the André Hazes classic She Believes In Me for Jah6, and they also produced the dub version. But this is nothing compared to the stunt the men pulled off this time! 

For their latest CD they sank their teeth in Ma Belle Amie, one of the biggest hits in the history of Dutch pop music. Worldwide, this Tee-Set classic sold over seven million copies, with more than one million copies sold in the U.S. and Canada alone. 

The song is carved in our collective musical memory so strongly, that you must be crazy to record a new version. But that's exactly what The Skankin' Monks have done. The result sounds so fruity and fresh that it seems like the song was written only yesterday. 

For their painstaking work The Skankin' Monks have used the original vocal tracks that singer Peter Tetteroo sang in 1969. When you hear his beautiful dark brown soul voice, it does not seem like he has died nine years ago already (on 9/9), but simply enjoyed a long holiday in Jamaica. 

The result is put into a super production by Sander Baas, the sound wizard who was responsible for the platinum award-winning, first - and only - No. 1 hit from Rob de Nijs: Banger Hart. Surprise yourself with Ma Belle Amie!

Chezidek 'All My Life' Version

Authentic beats with a new vibe, this is what The Skankin' Monks are all about, a reggae formation from Amsterdam who can't be generalized. The band gets its inspiration from several styles that can be heard on their tracks, like reggae, rocksteady, soul, hip-hop and dub, They also work with singers from various genres to create some new and unique styles.
The band name The Skankin' Monks is very appropriate, As monks they meditate on the music that they create. Smooth bass lines, powerful drums and dub effects, this makes this band both unique and original. The Skankin' Monks have a great passion for this music that reaches a broad audience, and they have only one goal, to let everyone enjoy this wonderful blend of cultures.
