Welcome to the Ska Beat!, the sound that came from Jamaica between 1961-1967. Based on the American R&B and doo-wop records that the sound systems in Kingston Town used to play. The American records style started to mellow out while the Jamaicans preferred a more upbeat sound. So, to meet this demand the sound system bosses became record producers to cater for this demand.
Sir Coxsone
,
Duke Reid
lead the way by putting the top musicians on the Island in the studio to make this ska sound! Here for your enjoyment is a selection of some of the top tunes that made ska so great. Features
The Skatalites
