The Combobulatorzs

For years now, legends of a funk and reggae phenomenon born in South Taiwan have circulated the island. Sightings, though frequent, were rarely supported by evidence. Not one witness could agree on the name of the group, or the city they may have come from. Still, those who had seen recalled an excellent groove, a Rocksteady Roots Reggae sound, followed by Funk and Latin Soul, Too good to be true, some would say. But it is true, and finally there's proof.
The band is called "The Combobulatorzs", (from the new word 'to combobulate' - i.e. to put a machine together.
The band's lineup is international. They're from England, Taiwan, Germany, Canada, and the U.S. They're music, though, is homegrown in South Taiwan. Apparently, they've been shaking up dancefloors in Tainan for more than eight years.
The Combobulatorzs play a combination of rare reggae classics, funk and latin soul songs and their own originals in Chinese and English. See it for yourself this New Year's Eve, the last day of 2010.
