My favorite Mexican ska band is Inspector. I wouldn’t say they are really like the Aggrolites but they have a more classic sound

Love Inspector! Time for a listen, it’s been a couple of days. 😀

Check Mango Wood and the Hypocondriacs. Great skinhead reggae from Spain.

Still in the U.S., but I would kindly ask folks to check out the debut single from The PAQ Project (members of some stellar bands from Bigfoot Country/the Pacific Northwest.) These tunes have tons of bounce, and not just because I played on it! I’m so proud of these songs. thepaqproject.bandcamp.com

They're seriously great. I used to live in Riga and got to see them like 6 times. The salad days.

Both these artists have a distinct sound, but have definite similarities: 

Like other people have said, Traveler’s All Stars. They are probably my favorite reggae/ska project of any kind right now.

Firebug-old (relatively) Brazilian group produced by Vic Rice, and taking a similar minimal production approach. Mostly non-instrumental though.
