Ska is a musical genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s & was the precursor to the Rocksteady & Reggae genres. Ska combined elements of Caribbean Mento & Calypso with American jazz, rhythm & blues. It is characterized by a walking bass-line accented with rhythms on the upbeat. In the early 1960s, ska was the most popular genre in Jamaica & it found new fans among the UK mods. Its appeal later reached other UK youth-subcultures such as the skinheads & the punks.
Historically it is said to have three great eras; the first wave (Jamaica in the 1960s), the second wave (the 2 tone ska-revival in the UK in the late 1970s) & the third wave (the ska movement of the 1980s) which went on to become popular in the US in the 1990s.
