In the late 1950s, Ska emerged from the Mento sound. This style of music came about because musicians now began to play around with the sound adding a little calypso here and there as well as some American Jazz, some Rhythm and Blues (R&B) etc. Little did they know that it would have taken the Jamaican sound from Mento to what we know today as SKA!!...
List of songs in video:
Jamaican Ska - Byron Lee & The Dragonaires
Sammy Dead-O - Eric 'Monty' Morris
One Eyed Jack - Jimmy Cliff
Wash Wash - Prince Buster

A Couple of weeks ago, my cousin gave me a bag full of 45's. Many of which I already had, but one record I never heard. Jamaica Ska by The Ska Kings on Atlantic. I played it and loved it instantly. There were two copies of that 45 in that bag...I posted it on Instagram and one guy told me how much he was looking for that record. I told him I had an extra copy!! I love this music

The original Ska dance was quite a bit different from modern Ska dance, called skanking. Of course, modern Ska went through a revival, where it became convoluted with influences from punk-rock.

That’s how you dance to ska. I guess we’ve been doing it all wrong.

Being from the Caribbean, this is a far cry from a documentary explaining how ska became a staple of music eventually becoming reggae and it should be pulled from the internet.
