The continuation of SKA, another Jamaican musical trend, which was considered traditional or typical in that country. The Ska went through several stages that they call it Oleadas or Olas, three to be exact, here I will talk about the first of them, so watch out.
First wave of the Ska- 1960's
As was to be expected in each musical trend there is a character that stands out more than another, or there are also groups.
In this first oleda of the Ska, One of the main characters in this was Mr. Clement Dodd (born in Kingston, Jamaica on 26-01-1932 and died on 04-05-2004, 72 years).
He had an idea, which was to ask his performers to create a type of music danceable but made in Jamaica.
Because American music became more and more difficult to find. Rhythms were combined: jazz, R&B, boogie woogie, and the Jamaican mento.
In the beginning the music was instrumental, influenced by swing and jazz and the big bands of the 30s and 40s. The main band of that time (and of all the subsequent ones - for being the creators of the genre) are the Skatalites, who are still playing live today.
By 1966, there was a musical variation and comes what is known as rocksteady.
They use less wind instruments and the instrumental songs were also left aside, to give way to the vocalization, the songs were going to be sung, the voices would be heard and the lyrics would be known.
Outstanding vocalists like: Desmond Dekker, Bob Marley, Phyllis Dillon and Justin Hinds. At the end of the 60's, ska and rocksteady fused what I believe or originated and gave way to reggae, which over time added religious/spiritual meaning to their lyrics.
In 1967, due to the emigration of Jamaicans to England in search of a new life, the Ska also emigrated with them. The slope that the ska takes at that time is known as skinhead reggae, in honor of its main fans. After 1970, ska practically disappeared in both Jamaica and England.
And to finish this second part of the Ska I leave you a very good music and movidita to dance, do not lose me of sight very soon the third entry.
That dance looks like some zoomba class but what do I know )))
