Symarip (also known as The Bees, The Pyramids, Seven Letters, E.K. Bunch, Sonny and the Stoneagers and Zubaba) was a ska and reggae band from the UK founded in the late 1960s.
The band members were part of the second generation of Caribbean/West Indian migrants, and the group was considered one of the "original" skinhead bands, as they were among the first who deliberately sought the young skinhead movement as an audience. Their style of music was also called Skinhead Reggae, and their hits like Skinhead Moonstomp, Skinhead Girl and Skinhead Jamboree underline their obvious scene affiliation. In 1971, the band went to Germany to perform reggae and the so-called Afro-Rock under the name Zubaba. In 1980, the album Skinhead Moonstomp was released, and Symarip cracked the UK charts for the first time. The band officially broke up in 1983. Trojan Records released a best-of album in 2004, with a new release called Back From the Moon, recorded by two former band members, Monty Neysmith and Roy Ellis. The song Skinhead Moonstomp is based on the Derrick Morgan song MoonHop_. Roy Ellis, also known as Mr. Symarip, still performs as a solo artist today.
