The Itals are a Jamaican reggae vocal group formed in 1976 by Alvin “Keith” Porter, Lloyd Ricketts, and Ronnie Davis (formerly a member of The Tennors), all of whom had previously also recorded as solo artists. All three had worked together in the late 1960s in The Westmorelites. The group recorded several albums through the late 1970s and 1980s.

The Itals’ debut single, “In A Dis Ya Time”, is regarded as the group’s finest work, and topped the Jamaican chart. 1987’s Rasta Philosophy was nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Reggae Album.

The line-up has changed over the years, but Keith continues to tour with two of his children, Darien Porter and Kada Porter, providing harmonies.
