Ska


Jamaican pop music, a forerunner of reggae, mingling the local calypso, mento, with rhythm and blues. Ska emerged in the early 1960s (a slower style, rock steady, evolved in 1966–68) and enjoyed a revival in the UK in the late 1970s. Prince Buster (1938– ) was an influential ska singer. A fascination with the beginnings of Jamaican music continued well into the 1990s.
