Den 5. oktober 2024 er det 40 år siden, det københavnske ska-band Napoleon Solo spillede deres allerførste koncert.
Det skal naturligvis fejres, hvor bandet slog sine folder i 80'erne og 90'erne - nemlig i Musikcafeen.Musikcafeen har en helt særlig betydning for Napoleon Solo, der igennem 80'erne og 90'erne spillede mere end 25 udsolgte koncerter på stedet. Napoleon Solo blev tilmed Månedens band i Musikcafeen i januar 1986 og modtog Årets John i 1989. Anekdoterne fra perioden står i kø. Derfor er det med stor glæde, at Napoleon Solo vender tilbage til Musikcafeen på selve jubilæumsdagen for at levere et brag affest for gamle og nye fans. Som traditionen byder, er indlagte overraskelser ikke utænkelige.Napoleon Solo, der med sin start i 1984, er et af de ældste ska-bands iDanmark. Lige siden har bandet, der er kendt for sin livlige og stilfuldeperformance, leveret solid ska med en snert af reggae og soul til bådedet danske og det internationale publikum.Bandet spillede sin første koncert uden for Danmark i 1986. I 1988optrådte bandet på The London International Ska Festival og udgavEP'en How To Steal The World med fx ørehængeren I Don't BelieveYou. På det tidspunkt kårede det engelske magasin New MusicalExpress Napoleon Solo til et af de ti bedste ska-bands i verden.I 1989 udkom albummet Shot! med hits som Trains & Buses, AlwaysFriday og Baby Elephant Walk. Det blev startskuddet til flere turnéer iDanmark, Tyskland og England, blandt andet med engelske BadManners.Som det eneste skandinaviske band optrådte Napoleon Solo i 2011igen på The London International Ska Festival. Samme år blev Shot!genudgivet, og Napoleon Solo optrådte sammen med The Specials iKøbenhavn.Napoleon Solo udgav i 2018 albummet Open Channel D medklassikere som Nobody Told Me og nyere materiale som Hot as Ice påtyske Pork Pie Records og amerikanske Jump Up Records.I 2019 markerede gruppen sit 35 års jubilæum på This Is Ska Festival iTyskland, og var i 2021 blandt hovednavnene på den tyske festival Skais Back in Town.
