Main idea:
                The Ska music was influenced by rhythm and blues music with soulful and melodic delivery. The lyrics are sung quickly and shouts. Instruments play the important role in Ska music, this shows how the Jamaican loves the use of different sound in their songs. Brass, horn, saxophones, trumpets, trombone, and piano are some example of instruments that are used in Ska music.


Evidences that support the main idea:

“Ska, Jamaica’s first indigenous urban pop style.Pioneered by the operators of powerful mobile discos called sound systems, ska evolved in the late 1950s from an early Jamaican form of rhythm and blues that emulated American rhythm and blues, especially that produced in New Orleans, Louisiana. A new beat emerged that mixed the shuffling rhythm of American pianist Rosco Gordon with Caribbean folk influences, most notably the mambo of Cuba and the mento, a Jamaican dance music that provided the new music’s core rhythm.''

 “Ska has had several international waves. The first began in the early 1960s and is remembered for “My Boy Lollipop” by Millie Small, a Jamaican singer based in London, and for hits by Prince Buster and by Desmond Dekker and the Aces. In the 1970s ska was a significant influence on British pop culture, and so-called 2-Tone groups (whose name derived from both the suits they wore and their often integrated lineups) such as the Specials, Selector, and Madness brought punk and more pop into ska. “
