"Ska (pronounced /ˈskɑː/, Jamaican [skja]) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae.[1] Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the offbeat."
What with The Specials tour and all, it's only right that we remember the genre that is ska which has been going strong for 40 years!!!! oh yup! You read right!
We're not sure what's going on in the LDN but Nottingham are paying homage to ska music at the following event which takes place tonight!
Take it back to the roots, dude!
