ska
Before reggae came
Ska is a genre of popular music that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, characterized by a walking bass line and offbeat rhythms—guitar or piano accenting the upbeats.
It preceded and influenced reggae.
Ska experienced revivals in Britain and the U.S., blending with punk in the late 1970s and again in the 1990s: a ska band, third-wave ska.
