Available midweek and weekends covering all UK and overseas if needed. This music genre originated in Jamaica in late 1950s and was a precursor to rocksteady and reggae. Combining elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues it is characterised by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on an off beat.
Developed in Jamaica in 1960s when Prince Buster, Clement “Coxsone” Dodd and Duke Reid formed sound systems to play American rhythm and blues they then began recording their own songs. In early 1960s it was dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. Later it became popular with many skinheads. By late 1980s, ska had experienced a minor resurgence of popularity in United Kingdom, due to bands such as The Burial and The Hotknives, ska-friendly record labels such as Unicorn Records, ska festivals and a re-emergence of traditional skinhead subculture.
