Dr. Ring Ding (Richard Alexander Jung) is not only a versatile singer and trombonist, but also a DJ, MC, arranger and the producer. A real legend of the German music scene, also considered „the godfather of continental ska". He finds himself well in many different music styles like swing, rhythm & blues, chanson, hip hop, rumba, soukouss or punk. His main love has always been Jamaican inspirations - ska, reggae, calypso, raggamuffin and dancehall. Dr Ring Ding started his career about 20 years ago with the German ska band El Bosso und Die Ping Pongs. In 1992 he founded Dr. Ring Ding & The Senior Allstars. Then he performed with Kingston Kitchen (with members of top European ska-jazz act Rotterdam Ska-Jazz Foundation).

Dr. Ring Ding as one of the first German artists united ska and reggae scenes and opened hearts of many people for positive vibrations of his beloved music. The Bartenders is 10-piece combo from Warsaw inspired by achievements of the 60's Jamaican bands, mostly of jazz-ska genre. Utilizing Jamaican standarts, they also search further and add trance ska rhythm to everything they discover.
