Description of ska music
Ska music is a genre of music that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is characterized by a syncopated rhythm played by a horn section (usually trumpets, trombones, and saxophones), along with bass, drums, and guitar. The music often features upbeat and danceable tempos, with lyrics that touch on topics such as social issues, love, and daily life. Ska has influenced many other genres of music, including reggae, punk, and rock. Some notable ska artists include The Skatalites, Prince Buster, Toots and the Maytals, and The Specials.
