Independence came to Jamaica in 1962. The musical soundtrack to this era was the upbeat, energised Ska, the first truly Jamaican music. Ska music and Studio One are synonomous with each other. Whilst Ska was only one style of Reggae that Coxsone Dodd and Studio One Records would release in it's forty year history- with Rocksteady, Roots, Dancehall, Dub and much more still to come- Ska was the first and defined Jamaican music as having it's own identity throughout the world.
