Three different types: "Traditional", "2-Tone" and "3rd Wave". Traditional came about in the late 1950s as new dance music straight out of Jamaica. 2-Tone is named such because whites and blacks came together to form ska bands to spread unity in the 1970s. 3rd Wave is when ska hit America in the late 1980s, and added a bit of punk flair. Also a very flexible style of music, incorporateable into other styles, which is why it's still around today and has such a large and diverse fan base.

One of the most versitile and long lasting genre of music alive today. Disregarding some peoples beliefs, Ska makes itself individualised by its brass section, walking basslines and offbeat guitar chords. There were 3 waves of ska; Trad, 2 tone and 3rd wave but most bands today are 3rd wave caus its totally cool. It has derived from alot of influences, of which jazz, reggae, swing and punk would be the most prominant. Suits, big shades and dancin' shoes are usually worn at a ska concert.

"Man, Ska is totally cool\! All other music bites serious ass compared to it\!"

Jamaican R&B artists developed their nation's first indigenous music genre when they began to incorporate jazz, African and Calypso rhythms into their songs in the late 1950s. The result was Ska, a fusion of the unique Jamaican mento rhythms with R&B. In Ska, the drum comes in on the 2nd and 4th beats, while the guitar emphasizes the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th beats. Ska bands usually consist of a strong rhythm section, guitars, keyboards and brass. The early Ska music of in the '60s and '70s spawned later revivals. The first was in the U.K. in the '80s, giving rise to bands like Madness and the Specials. The next, known as Third Wave Ska, struck the U.S. in the '90s.

A genre of music stylized by the influences of American jazz and swing, born out of Jamaica. It underwent three waves, Trad(itional), Two-Tone, and 3rd wave. The guitar is always played on the off beats, or "upstrokes." The bass line is almost always a walking bass line unless the band is more punk influenced (however, ska is what helped bring about punk), and there is a horn line, usually with some swinging stuff. Ska gave birth to many different types of music, such as rocksteady, reggae, punk, rap and hip-hop (it's true).

Reel Big Fish (3rd wave), The Skatalites(trad), the toasters(3rd wave) and the specials(two-tone).

A music genre created in Jamaica. The orginal music called ska is now called first wave. Then it went to England and became two tone because of racial unity between black and whites. Then it moved into America and became third wave because it was more punk influenced in America. Ska bands are defined because of the guitars and keyboards playing on the upbeat, not because of horn sections, which are also commonly ascociated with ska. Ska gave birth to reggae, rocksteady, dub, and punk. Ska is also considered the opposite of [emo] because emo is usually more sadder sounding whereas ska is more happy sounding. The horn sections in ska bands are usually made up of saxes, trumpets, and trombones.

Ska is a type of music that has an upbeat guitar sound. It is normally acompanied by horns but not always. Ska has been around since the late 1950's and Reggae originated from it. Ska, today, has more of a punk influence to it. It was not originated from punk, since Ska came around before punk. The two sounds mixed together when Ska hit the America music scene.

The Skatalites, The Selecter, The Specials, etc.

The history of ska music is interesting as since its birth ska has continued to develop into many different styles. In forty years ska has enjoyed three waves of popularity around the world. This essay attempts to trace ska music's history, the roots, the birth, the styles and, hopefully will offer you some interesting facts. EARLY JAMAICAN CULTURE To fully understand the origins of ska and trace its unique musical elements we must understand some important parts of Jamaican history. The island of Jamaica was first visited by Europeans in 1494 by Columbus. The British won the right to colonize and began shipping slaves from the west coast of Africa to work on newly set up plantations. By 1807 there were over two million Africans in Jamaica working on English plantations in the most brutal systems of slavery in the world. The slaves tried hard to hold on to their African philosophy and established their own system of beliefs and values in their slave communities. Some forms of African music, such as the Burru were allowed by the white masters who believed it would help the slaves to work faster. At times the slave musicians were also called upon to entertain the white masters. The type of entertainment provided by the slave musicians followed a carnival tradition and allowed the oppressed performers to dress and act like kings, queens, lords and ladies for the amusement of the white masters. In the 1960's this tradition was continued by performers who adopted royal titles such as 'Prince' Buster, 'Lord' Tanamo, 'Duke' Reid to name a few. Often this carnival type of entertainment was combined with the Quadrille which was a dance set popular in Europe in the late 18th century and was taken to the slave colonies by plantation owners.The dance was transformed by the black population where it exhibited a more distinctive African bounce quality as well as an expressive tone of derision. Critical social commentary has been important aspect of ska lyrics since its earliest inceptions. After the emancipation of slaves in 1834, Jamaica experienced a revival that gave birth to two religious sects that had an influence on the birth of ska. Pukkumina maintained African derived elements in its rituals and used body sounds such as clapping and stamping for rhythmic support. Over breathing was also used as both a two beat vocal percussion rhythm and to induce a trance like state in the performers. The characteristic 'hup, hup, hup...' and 'Ch-Ka-Ch-Ch' vocal percussion is still a feature in ska music. Examples can be heard in The Skatelites 'Guns of Navarone', Madness' version of 'One Step Beyond' and more recently Pete Porker in 'Chemical Imbalance'. The other religion was called Zion Revival and was popular in areas of Jamaica with a concentration of Europeans. Revival music is characterised by improvised vocal harmonies and changing patterns of rhythm in clapping and stamping and drumming that accompany the songs. European elements such as brass band music, brought by British troops; and sea shantys, brought in by British sailors also influenced the sound of revival choruses. There are literally hundreds of choruses used to accompany all occasions such as 'Let us Break Bread Together', a thanksgiving song and 'Dip Dem, Bedward' a baptismal chorus. MENTO Mento is generally considered to be a fusion of African rhythm and European tunes and was most popular in the 1940's and 50's. It is an acoustic music that was often performed in streets. It is performed on portable instruments such as guitar, banjo, African thumb piano (kalimba) and bongos. Musically, mento is similar to the Caribbean Rhumba style. The basic rhythm follows the 3+2+2 pattern and there are strong accents on the last beat of each bar. 'Dis Long Time Gal', 'Water Come a Me Eye' and 'Banyan Tree' are example of traditional mento songs. Mento tunes are used over and over again with new lyrics commenting on topical situations and sometimes innuendo such as the Jolly Boys' 'Touch Me Tomato'. THE JAZZ INFLUENCE The brass band tradition originally brought to Jamaica by British Troops gradually became incorporated into some areas of Kingston. Most importantly was the music program at Alpha Boys Catholic School, in West Kingston. Alpha Boys was a catholic reform school where morals and strict order ruled, but more importantly it had a great brass band. Although mento was popular amongst the lower classes, Kingston's small middle class population had been familiar with American and English Jazz since the 1930's. The teachers at Alpha Boys included Jazz in their music education program. Many well known Jamaican musicians were educated at Alpha Boys including Tommy McCook, Don Drummond (The Skatelites) and Rico Rodriguez (The Specials). After leaving school some Alpha Boys began performing in Jazz Big Bands that drew on the influence of American stars like Duke Ellington and Count Basie. But it was the smaller American Rhythm and Blues (R&B) bands that became the most important influence to Jamaican musicians. American R&B radio programs broadcast from Memphis, Maimi and New Orleans were able to be picked up on AM radios in Jamaica. These programs were refreshing and relevant to Jamaican audiences who had grown tired of BBC radio replays favoured by the National broadcasting company 'Radio Jamaica'. SOUND SYSTEMS & THE JAMAICAN RECORDING INDUSTRY Growing radio audiences led to the birth of the Jamaican recording industry. At the same time portable dance music operators running 'Sound Systems' competed for public popularity. Sound System operators were an enormous influence on Jamaican youth as they controlled what people listened to and the import of R&B recordings. The two most important were Duke Reid and Clement Dodd. Reid was known as 'the Trojan' after the Trojan flat bed truck he used to transport equipment. It is believed the Dodd's nickname Coxsone was taken from his favorite Yorkshire cricket player. Throughout the 1950's these two conducted a musical war. This war escalated to the point that rough nuts known as 'Dance Hall Crashers' were employed to attend the competitors sound system parties, trash the joint and fight with the club goers. These club goers were called 'Rude Boys' and they were the primary listeners and fashion setters in the dance hall scene. More about 'rude boys' later. THE BIRTH OF SKA Like mento before it, ska was born out of a combining musical elements. Both mento and jazz were combined to produce a new style that was initially called 'Shuffle' Popular shuffle hits were recorded by Neville Esson, Owen Grey and the Overtakers. The newly set up recording studios were always on the look out for the next new sound. With the popularity of American R&B artists like Fats Domino and Louis Jordan many Jamaican performers incorporated the 12 bar blues chord progressions and boogie bass lines with mento guitar rhythms. Increasing emphasis was placed on the offbeat rhythms of mento. The offbeats became shorter and more detached. These distinct syncopated rhythms were sounded on guitar and piano. The new style of music became known as ska. The first person to record this 'ska' rhythm was Ernest Ranglin when performing with Cluet Johnson (Clue J.) and the Blues Busters One day he was trying to get the guitars to play something, and him say 'make the guitars go Ska\!, Ska\!, Ska\!' And that's the way the ska name was born. (Bunny Lee in Johnson and Pines. 1982 .49) Clue J was well known for greeting his friends with a call of 'Love Skavoovie'. Many believe the name of ska is a shortened form of this greeting. Ska quickly became the most dominant form of music in Jamaica. Its success coincided with the independence and the departure of the English in 1962. There was a new attitude towards indigenous music. Ska was already enormously popular in Jamaica and music producers attempted to export it to the rest of the world, a move that was supported by the government. It was the national music of Jamaica and was demonstrated to the the world at the 1964 Worlds Fair in New York. The Jamaican delegates included Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, Jimmy Cliff , Prince Buster and dancers Ronnie Nasralla and Jannette Phillips who taught the world the moves for the 'Backy Skank', the 'Rootsman Skank' and the 'Ska'. Early ska dance movements and some lyrics were influenced by the religious revival era. Songs such as 'Wings of a Dove' performed by both The Blues Busters and The Wailers, 'Oil in My Lamp' by Eric Morris and 'King of Kings' by Jimmy Cliff are revival tunes with lyrics that are sped up. 'Israelites' by Desmond Dekker also features revival characteristics in the lyrics. Other ska lyrics were pop orientated and feature very little Jamaican patois. These songs were either nonsense lyrics such as Eric Morris' 'Humpty Dumpty' and 'Solomon Gundie' or romantic such as Delroy Wilsons' 'Dancing Mood', which was one of the first songs to bridge the gap between ska and it's slower successor Rocksteady (more later). In stark contrast are the political ska lyrics that reflected the social concerns of rude boys. RUDE BOYS As mentioned earlier these youths were the primary listeners to ska in Jamaica. They were rebellious out of work and reacted against economic tensions. They emulated Hollywood gangster fashions by wearing black suits, thin ties and pork pie hats, the type of look that is still seen today in Taritinos movies 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction'. Rude Boys often lived outside of the law and were also sometimes called 'Scofflaws' (people who belittle the law). Ska lyrics at the time reflected the life and times of Rude Boys. Some examples include The Soul Brothers' 'Lawless Street', The Heptones' 'Gunmen Comin to Town', Desmond Dekkers' '007 Shanty Town', Dandy Livingstones' 'A Message to You Rudi' and Prince Busters' 'Judge Dread' who handed out 400 year sentences to Rude Boys. Clement Dodd backed a young group who envisioned themselves as rudies - The Wailers Bob Marley, Bunny Livingstone (Wailer) and Peter Macintosh (later shortened toTosh). It was a picture of Peter Tosh from an early Wailing Wailers album that inspired the Jerry Dammers Two Tone artwork, more later. The way rude boys danced to the music also influenced the ska sound. They rhythmically pumped their arms back and forward and adopted a more menacing posture than the traditional style demonstrated by Ronnie and Jannette. As a result the music became more menacing. Bass lines became more syncopated rejecting the easy going walking boogie style. More evidence of the continual evolution of this musical style. ROCKSTEADY TO REGGAE By 1966 in Jamaica many audiences had grown tired of the insistent ska beat and tempo. Around 1966 the beat of ska was slowed and rocksteady was born. Some say that it was a particularly hot Jamaican summer that led to this more relaxed style but the real reason for this change can be traced once again to the continuing influence of American R&B. By the mid 60's R&B was developing into the smoother soul styles of Motown, Memphis and Philadelphia soul. Jamaican musicians responded to this with their own slower smoother styles. The most notable hit of the rocksteady era was 'The Tide is High' by The Paragons. In the 80's this was covered by Blondie and was one of their biggest hits. The influence of another religious revival, Rastafarianism led to further musical developments of ska and rocksteady and reggae was born. As we know Reggae has dominated the Jamaican music scene since. The BIRTH OF BRITISH SKA Ska went to England with the immigrants of the early 1960's and was initially known as 'Bluebeat'. The first international ska hit was 'My Boy Lollipop' by Millie Small. It was recorded in England in 1964 for Island Records and featured a young English Mod Rod Stewart, just beginning his own music career on Harmonica. Ska gained popularity amongst the Mod scene and several hits followed including 'Guns of Navarone' by the Skatalites, 'Carry Go Bring Come' by Justin and The Dominoes, and 'Rudy, A Message to You' by Dandy Livingstone. In 1969, 'The Israelites' by Desmond Dekker became the first Jamaican produced recording to become a number one hit in Britain. Other big ska chart hits in 1969 included 'Monkey Man' by Toots and the Maytals, 'Long Shot Kick De Bucket' by The Pioneers and 'Liquidator' by The Harry J Allstars. It is interesting to note that these hits had all been recorded several years earlier in Jamaica and gradually crept into the UK charts over a long period of time. TWO TONE In 1979 ska enjoyed a revival of popularity. Initially the ska revival was an English phenomenon, but gradually spread to the rest of the world, including Australia. The most notable bands associated with the second wave of ska popularity were The Specials, Madness, The Beat, and The Selecter. All these bands recorded their first albums for 'Two Tone Records', a label established by The Specials keyboard player Jerry Dammers. The label was named after the two tone tonic suits worn by the original ska stars of the 1960's and also reflected the multi racial membership of the bands signed to the label. The trade mark of the company was based on a negative photo of Peter Tosh from an early Wailing Wailers album cover. This 'Rude Boy' logo became affectionately known as Walt Jabsco. The Two Tone artists relied heavily on the first wave ska stars attitudes and philosophy. The Specials took their name from the 'special' one off recordings made for the early sound system operators in Jamaica and 'Madness' are named after a Prince Buster song. The bands did not attempt to conceal their musical dependence either. They quite rightly believed that if it was a good song you might as well play it. At the time, some fans believed that the cover versions were actually originals. Listed below are some of the classic cover versions by Two Tone bands. TITLE OF SONG ORIGINAL PERFORMER COVER BY Rudi, A Message to You Dandy Livingstone The Specials Too Hot Prince Buster The Specials Monkey Man Toots & The Maytals The Specials Guns of Navarone The Skatalites The Specials One Step Beyond Prince Buster Madness Madness Prince Buster Madness Can't Get Used to Losing You Alton Ellis The Beat Whine & Grine Prince Buster The Beat Carry Go Bring Come Justin Hinds & the Dominoes The Selecter The popularity of these cover versions led to a demand for the original recordings and suddenly Symarip's 'Skin head Moonstomp' was in the charts exactly ten years after its first release. Also interesting is the fact that Prince Buster has made more money from royalties paid by cover artists than he ever made from his own album sales. The two bands also paid tribute to the original ska performers by using musical material from the original recordings. This music was adapted, rearranged and used as the basis of a new original tune. Sometimes, just the lyrics of songs were used to inspire a new song. Listed below are some examples. ORIGINAL SONG ARTIST ADAPTION ARTIST Al Capone Prince Buster Gangsters The Specials Judge Dread Prince Buster Stupid Marriage The Specials Earthquake/Freezing Up/ Prince Buster The Prince Madness Orange Street/Ghost Dance Longshot Kick De Bucket/ Pioneers Skinhead Symphony The Specials Liquidator/Skinhead Moonstomp. Despite the fact that it relied on pre-existing ska songs, the sound of the Two Tone era was fresh and new. The punk rock era had set new musical rules and second wave ska incorporated this energy. Two Tone recordings are characterised by faster tempos, fuller instrumentation and a harder edge than original 60's ska. All the Two Tone bands were young and from working class backgrounds and so the lyrics reflect their concerns: school, work, politics, crime, racism and having fun. THE THIRD WAVE Although enjoying a massive revival in Britain, Europe and, too a lesser extent, Australia, Two Tone ska did not make an impact in America. Bands such as Madness and The Specials were considered 'too English' probably due to their lyrics reflecting their own political and social concerns and the English dance hall type antics of the live shows that was far removed from the demur American stadium rock popular at the same time. Recently ska has enjoyed another wave of popularity. The third wave exists in many forms and combines many different styles of rock with ska rhythms and instrumentation. Bands such as Hepcat, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Jamaica and The Stubborn All Stars play traditional first wave styled ska. In contrast is the sound of Operation Ivy, Rancid, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Reel Big Fish who favour a harder 'ska-core' sound that is heavily influenced by punk. And there are thousands of bands playing every style in between. Although the sound of these bands is varied, the musical characteristics of the original ska can still be heard although sometimes it is not as obvious.

Don't fight me on this, I did research and have been listening to ska for a long time. Please start to appreciate the classic ska bands, like: The Skatalites Desmond Dekker Judge Dread and The Wailers. I enjoy Two-Tone and Third Wave of course, but it's the first wave that always gets me.

ska is a type of music that came about around the 1950s as a result of the mixture of jazz the blues rock and other popular forms of music at the time. some bands started to play it a bit slower and this evolved into rocksteady which evolved into reggae. Today ska is more rock influenced than anything else but it will always have an upbeat guitare sound and usually a horn section.

The Toasters are probably the band that best embodies what ska really is and of course the Skatelites.

Jamaican musical style developed in the late 1950s, which took elements from traditional Jamaican folk music of mento and calypso and of American music, including jazz and particularly R&B. In fact, the earliest ska songs were basically "Jamaicanized" R&B songs. The inovation that gave ska it's trademark sound was placing the accent guitar and piano rhythms on the upbeats as opposed to the downbeats, as in R&B. The jazz influence came primarily from the studio bands that often backed the artists who recorded for the various Jamaican studios during sessions. It is so because many members of these bands where jazz musicians themselves, often a product of the famed Alpha School of Music. Ska is the precursor to rocksteady, reggae and the various offshoots to reggae. Ska was popular abroad, especially in England during the late 60s as a result of West Indian immigration to England, where it was the music of choice for the emerging skinhead subculture and is still a dominant feature of the so-called "trad skin" subculture today. Ska also had a revival in England in the late 70s/early 80s with the emergence of punk and a "third-wave revival" in the U.S. in the 90s, but by then the sound had changed much from the original sound that permiated Jamaica during those formative early years of ska music.

ska, a fast upbeat music, the polar opposite of emo, fast dub reggae guitar strokes, quick drums, rockin bassline, and biting horn thrown in, all started by a man by the name of laurel aitken. Three different kinds of ska exist. Traditional, two tone, and third wave. Traditional is the stuff that came out of jamaica as dance music. Two tone was named that for the unity of races in ska bands, such as the specials. Third wave is what the genre has developed today. It is harder than traditional or two tone, known for being associated with punk.

Ska starts in Jamaica in the late 1950s and from there a lot of ska is misinterpreted. Ska was a popular sound in dancehalls and is Jamaicans first very own style of music. The bands and fans originally and for the most part idolized al Capone style gangsters and dressed the like; this is where the signature rude boy suit came from. The term rude boy was a term that the islanders called the ruffians associate with ska and is what they called each other out of prestige associate with gangsters once again. The name "ska" came from the sound the guitar makes. The music its self is a blend of calypso, R&B, jazz and other more Americanized music, but with a Jamaican spin. Generally ska includes up strokes on the guitar, island style bass lines, drums using mostly toms and symbols, trumpet, trombone, keyboards and saxophones are also associated with ska. But the upstrokes are the most important part. Ska was a very big hit in Jamaica and from it came rock steady, dancehall, and reggae. From Jamaica ska made its way to Europe, mainly the UK and was changed slightly to something more commonly called "two tone ska" the two-tone ska movement was named for the overwhelming unity between blacks and whites within the scene at the time. The music got fairly faster and more poppy. A number of the bands incorporated horns less often, or used very simple melodies for the horns. Ska was most popular among the pre-racist skinheads, mods, and rudies(rude boy) sub cultures. Though for such a huge explosion the fad died out within the better part of five years. Around the mid eighties ska was beginning to see the start of a third revival. Small bands were sprouting out of the northeast and were generally ignored by the media and public. During its start in America ska became faster still and actually accented the horns the most out of the three generations. it broke off into many ska sub genres including a ska-core with kind of metal influences, a punkish ska with less up strokes and well, more punk, there’s a jazzy sort of ska that kept it laid back, even rap, Christian, satanic and pretty much any other genre you can think of has been incorporated into ska. Though there were, and still are, American traditional ska bands and American two tone ska bands as well. About ten years of enjoying underground success ska exploded into America’s limelight and was brutally exploited like any other American music fad. Every garage band in America claimed to be ska, though punk with horns is more appropriate due to the lack of any other ska influence for the most of the bands. Though thankfully those waves died and when the dust cleared the true ska bands were still standing on the ashes. Though Ska’s 40+ years of existence it has never died, and has been to hell and back. underground ska is still out and about and unfortunately still being misunderstood and assumed, this time with more of a hXc or scremo twists yuck\! But there are still good ol' real ska bands out, in fact the toasters (claimed to be the first American ska band) and the skatilites (credited as the first ska band ever) are still around and tour. Ska is all about unity, dancing, and having a fun time. Don’t hate on it.

A style of early Jamaican music combining elements of mento (a form of calypso) with American [jazz] and [R&B]. A precursor of rock steady and [reggae]. There are actually three waves of ska. The original Jamaican form developed in the late 1950's and early 60's, a revival in England in the late 70's/early 80's, and a second, mainly American, revival in the mid to late 90's.

A genre of music which originated in Jamaica, mid 1900's. Ska is the precursor to reggae music, which in America seems to be a more popular genre, and has never been widely accepted as a true style of music (meaning you won't find it as a tag on iTunes as of today, October 13th, '09). Many people are haters of ska music, and some of my close friends are big fans. I don't see what the big deal is about popularity and social standards. I like ska because it's full of hype and positive energy, and I love to dance to it. I get dirty looks from people when I play ska in the car or on my stereo, especially when they hear the horn section (tends to induce a WHAT-THE-FUCK-ARE-YOU-LISTENING-TO?\!" response) And it's funny, if I take the time to play the band "Cake" before a ska song, people are suddenly reminded that having a horn section in a band isn't a reason to tell the DJ to go fuck himself/herself. Let's be honest. I'm a white middle class suburban kid. I'm not a "gangsta", and therefore, I'm not going to be superficial and listen to rap music because everyone else does and because it makes me feel like I'm the shit. If I like a rap song, I'll listen to it because I like the tone, the rhythm, the rhyme: The same reason why I like Ska. I'm going to be cheesy now: Ska has heart and soul. I love it because it makes me happy and makes me feel young. As I grow older, I won't stop listening to Ska, because it's not a dead genre, and it will never die. I'll shut up now. Skank On\!

What's there to say? Ska kicks major motherfucking ass.

Ska originated in Jamaica when traditional reggae met with the american jazz scene. The "punk" sound came from brittain, and soon people all over the world were listening to the Rudies. One of the most distincive parts of ska music is Skanking. It's a dance that consists of a whole two steps, and is all about fun. The word you're thinking is the slang "skank", right? That word came from the rudies, who, after dancing for an hour, would be very sweaty. Ska still lives on today. There are many ska bands still around, and many are jumping into the punk rock scene such as Leftover Crack (Formerly known as Choking Victim). Many still play the old two-tone style, which is slower...but most play and upbeat punk sound with the destinctive guitar beat, and the good old trumpet, trombone and sax.

There is a ska band here in michigan by the name of Thirteen Thirty-Six. They are very new, less than 2 years old, and are playing shows with growing popularity. Catch 22 still does shows, which people love to watch. Ska is NOT dead. Everyone has their opinions. If you like rap, you probably won't like ska. Just don't waste your time trying to give it a bad name. Especially on a dictionary site. Do you have no lives?

29. (ska) (29↑, 20↓)
Upbeat and lively form of music that originated in Jamaica during the 1950's. Although ever popular in Jamaica, ska went through a series of revivials. Two Tone or Second Wave ska originated in BRITAIN when the punk music of the white working class was combined with the ska of black immigrants. Third Wave ska originated in America as an offshoot of punk music, owing much to Two Tone ska from BRITAIN.

two tone ska music is from BRITAIN, B-R-I-T-A-I-N, not america. Anyone who says otherwise is stupid.

Ska is great music that was formed in Jamacia, this was done by conbining amercian jazz with the traditional jamacian beat. There is 3 waves, Jamacian ska (1st wave), two-tone (2nd wave), and Ameriacn ska (3rd wave). Throughout the years ska has greatly changed. some examples of ska bands are: the Skatilites, and Toots and the Maytals (Jamacian ska), the Specials, and the Madness (two-tone), Big D and the Table Kids, and Catch 22.

Ska is one of the greatest music ever created, and if you dislike it you suck because some of your favorite bands probably origonated form ska.

An awesome feel good type of music that everyone loves. It makes you want to skank all over the place. It always reminds me of the first Tony Hawk Pro Skater game for N64.

"Police Truck" by the Dead Kennedys is a great ska song. Bands like Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, and Catch 22 are popular in the ska scene today.

Ska started in Jamaica in the 1950s. The Jamaican people usually listened American radio and records, but when we switched to rock n roll, they couldn't stand it. They needed their own music. Also, Jamaica had just gained independence from Britain. Their president called for a type of music that was truly Jamaican, not a copy of British music. Thus, ska was born as a blend of every rhythmic style of music found at the time. Ska gets its name from the morning greeting of the man who really started the music. Every day he yelled "Happy skavoovee" to people, and so the music was called "ska." The original dancing was simply "the ska" and was just the people of Kingston moving to the beat. Some well known artists of this type of ska are Desmond Dekker and the Aces, The Skatalites, Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals, Prince Buster, and Bob Marley. In Jamaica, a very slow form of ska developed into rocksteady. Rocksteady developed into reggae. It is a popular misconception that ska came from reggae. The Jamaicans who made ska were hoodlums. They were "the guys your mother warned you about" like Fonzie. They're sort of Jamaican punks. The Jamaican slang for "cool" was "rude." Thus, these guys were called "rude boys." In the 1960s, Jamaican music, mainly ska, became popular in the UK as well as the world. It was Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" that turned the world onto ska. Mods and skinheads were prominant in the ska scene. Remember that skinheads were not Nazis; it was a fashion. Bob Marley, though generally known for his dreadlocks, was a skinhead at one point. Even the Beatles thought ska was cool and tried to incorporate ska-elements into "Obladi Oblada." The first record label in the UK to cater exclusively to this kind of music was started by Jerry Dammers, the keyboardist for the Specials (aka The Special AKA). Because ska was really the first (and still probably only) musical genre to equally incorporate both black and white artists, he named his label Two Tone Records. Every record released contained a drawing of a man named Walt Jabsco who dressed completely in a black and white suit with a thin black tie and porkpie hat. This drawing was based off of a picture of Peter Tosh in traditional rude boy fashion. Also on the album covers was a pattern known simply as "Two Tone." This is the signature checkerboard pattern. It represents racial unity since there are equal amounts of both black and white and they are touching, not separated. Equality and untiy between black and white are both represented. It is also important to note that Walt was all black and white as well. The more well-known bands of this time are The Specials (aka The Special AKA), Madness, The Selector, The Beat, The Bodysnatchers, and The Swinging Cats. Skanking originated in the UK at this time. Instead of keeping ones feet on the ground like doing the twist, people started kicking higher and swinging their arms more wildly. This fit since 2Tone ska is more upbeat than Jamaican ska. The faster tempo and wilder dancing could be attributed to the early punk influence. Jamaica reached the US in the 80s. By then, so much had been added to the original ska, that it was very different. After all the addition of punk and rock n roll, ska was very different. This is where ska gets confusing, however. Some will claim that ska is still in its 3rd wave. Others say 4th. I go with the latter. Whether one considers there to have been 3 or 4 waves is inconsequentiontial. Early American ska was closer to 2Tone with punk influence than modern ska is, yet some people aren't willing to say that ska-pop is the 4th wave since there was a smoother transition between 3rd and 4th wave than the others. Generally the bands that were popular in the 80s are more 3rd wave and the ones that popped up in the mid-90s are 4th. I will say that 3rd wave ska bands include bands like Fishbone, The Toasters, No Doubt (old stuff), The Reel Big Fish (old stuff)and The Untouchables. For 4th I'll include more punk and pop things as The Reel Big Fish (new stuff), Mighty Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt (newer stuff), Less Than Jake, Catch 22, Hepcat, and Streetlight Manifesto. The part where No Doubt and The Reel Big Fish are in both because of their sound changes is where the wae system breaks down. The inclusion of bands in both sections is what makes it harder to define where 3rd wave ends and 4th begins.

I'm listening to a great ska band called Streetlight Manifesto.

Commenly known as a style of music but can also be a way of life (just like emo or metal can be). Skas live thier life from the lyrics of their favorite Ska band (Less Than Jake, Catch 22) and often make up their own sayings or life rules, showing adaptation similiar to the music itself. Skas can look like what some would call preps, chatches, richies, or some times even borderline gangster. Their appearance is not limited to that although because of the flexiblity of the music/style. Skas are also known for their drinking ability and their general dislike of emos.

A good genre of music that has been completly raped by coperate america. Coming from Jamacia in the 50s, it led to genres like reggae and funk. Some 80's punk bands incorperated it into their music with some success. Over time, as true punk died out, really crappy bands began to put horns and crappy chords into their music, making something that sounds nothing like true ska. The music industry picked up on this, and now labels all new pop rock crap that has any kind of brass instrument in it ska, and thus we are stuck with shitty bands like less than jake and sublime which are an embarresment to true ska and just plain suck.

Rock Band + Horn Section = Ska. If singing is in a monotone (i.e. Streetlight Manifesto) and not have anyon notice or care because the bass kicks, the guitar is hot like fire, and the horn section is just plain better than everything else combined, you might be Ska. Also, if there are more than 5 people, it's a good indicator of ska.
