More than Ska!

Skastra is a ska-leaning band formed at the end of October 2015 at the Faculty of Humanity of the University of Indonesia, Depok. After changing personnel in and out of a number of times, currently there are seven members of Skastra, namely Alduri Asfirna (vocals), Ibrahim Rahman (drums), Rasmana Raga (bass), Adi Ahdiat (guitar), Fazrin Mustakin (guitar), Hanung T. Wibawa (keyboard), and Taufiq Alkatiri (trumpet).

One thing that always pops up when people mention ska is a fast paced Jamaican beats that encourage the listeners to dance and move their bodies on the dance floor.

Skastra doesn't want to limit its work in one genre, so that the music Skastra brought touches jazz, rocksteady, surf, keroncong and pop.

Until now, Skastra is still established itself working in the indie track. Now at the age of 6, Skastra has several works of its own, including;
