What is ska music? 

Ska is dance music, first and foremost. Ska was a Jamaican dance music 
that swept out of Jamaica in the early 1960s to shake the butts of 
working- and middle-class Jamaicans before going on, via the West Indian 
immigrant connection, to the UK, and then on to the world. In the UK, 
ska was also known as blue beat music. Rocksteady, and later, reggae 
sprang from the loins of ska in the late 1960s. Mid-1970s and 
1980s/1990s revivals of this popular dance form have kept this music 
alive and fun through the present. The ska beat on drums and bass, 
rhythm guitar, lots of horns and maybe a Farfisa or Hammond organ --- 
that's the ska sound.

Three waves of ska

These terms describe ska music coming from three different time periods 
separated by gaps in the popularity of the music. Roughly speaking, 
first-wave ska began in late 1960[1] in Jamaica and lasted until the 
late 1960s in Jamaica and England (as blue beat), by which time its 
popularity had declined in favor of ska's offspring rock-steady and 
reggae. Seminal first-wave Jamaican ska artists include instrumentalists 
like the Skatalites, Baba Brooks, Ernest Ranglin, Jackie Mittoo, and 
Bobby Ellis, and vocalists like Laurel Aitken, Prince Buster, Derrick 
Morgan and Desmond Dekker. 

Joly, joly@dti.net, reminds us that Duke Vin brought Sound System to 
London in the 50's, and in the Sixties the London Ska scene became so 
strong that, as can be seen in the movie Scandal, it eventually toppled 
the British government! (see Movies) 


Second-wave ska flourished in the late-1970s and very early 1980s and 
saw the emergence of popular groups such as The Specials, the (English) 
Beat, Madness and the like in England. Second-wave ska is strongly 
associated with the 2 Tone scene [1979--1981] in the UK, as shown in the 
movie Dance Craze, although American bands like Her Majesties Secret 
Service brought the 2-Tone sound to the States in the early Eighties. 

Two-tone ska is faster and tighter than first-wave ska and incorporates 
some elements of punk rock and British reggae. Certainly, through the 
first and second waves, ska was a music for the man-in-street, the 
working people. 


Third-wave ska is a late-1980s/early- 1990s revival of ska, involving 
such bands as Weaker Youth Ensemble, the Allstonians, Bim Skala Bim, the 
Voodoo Glow Skulls and The Toasters. Many popular rock/hardcore/funk 
bands, such as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, are strongly influenced by 
ska sounds. In the last few years, some bands, like Hepcat, Steady 
Earnest, the Allstonians, Skavoovie and the Epitones, have recovered a 
roots ska sound. 

In Puerto Rico and Latin America, new ska fusions are emerging. Some 
call the emerging latin ska salska, with bands fusing afro-caribbean and 
Latin pop-rock sounds with roots ska for a unique and exciting sound! 
Skarlos, carlos@skinhead.org, reports the development of skakakore,[2] a 
ska/hoodcore or rap/ska/hardcore mix. The band with the longest name to 
date, La Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del quinto Patio, mixes cha-cha 
with ska - chachaska. Let's not forget freestyle ska, that European 
ska/hip-hop fusion. It sure isn't ska-core, but it is a new direction! 
Then, there is the return of jazz elements to ska, with ska-jazz and 
swing-ska catching on in some areas. Is this the fourth wave of ska? 

Additionally, there has been a recent infusion of self-identified 
Christian ska bands, particularly in the US. These bands include the 
O.C. Supertones, Five Iron Frenzy, the Insyderz, Squad 5-0, the 
Israelites (not Desmond Dekker's backup band), Aloha Fridays and Big Dog 
Small Fence. This is one step beyond the gospel covers the Wailers 
recorded in 1962! How do you know a band is a Christian ska band? Ask 
them. (Mephiskapheles is another sort of thing, altogether.) 

Another exciting trend in third-wave ska is swing-ska, or as it is 
called by some, swank. Swing-ska marries more or less traditional ska 
and big band swing, as in the work of The Cherry Poppin' Daddies, The 
W's, A Dream I Had, Seven Foot Politic and others.

An.

Ambient music evolved from the experimental electronic music of '70s
synth-based artists like Brian Eno and Kraftwerk, and the trance-like techno
dance music of the '80s. Ambient is a spacious, electronic music that is
concerned with sonic texture, not songwriting or composing. It's frequently
repetitive and it all sounds the same to the casual listener, even though
there are quite significant differences between the artists. Ambient became
a popular cult music in the early '90s, thanks to ambient-techno artists
like the Orb and Aphex Twin.

new wave was pop music, pure and simple
Karlis

During the late '70s and early '80s, New Wave was a catch-all term for
the music that directly followed punk rock; often, the term encompassed
punk itself, as well. In retrospect, it's became clear that the music
that followed punk could be divided, more or less, into two categories -
post-punk and new wave. Where post-punk was arty, difficult, and
challenging, new wave was pop music, pure and simple. It retained the
fresh vigor and irreverence of punk music, as well as a fascination with
electronics, style, and art. Therefore, there was a lot of stylistic
diversity to new wave. It meant the nervy power pop of bands like XTC
and Nick Lowe, but it also meant synth rockers like Gary Numan or rock
revivalists like Graham Parker and Rockpile. There were edgy new wave
songwriters like Elvis Costello, pop bands like Squeeze, tough rock &
rollers like the Pretenders, pop-reggae like the Police, mainstream
rockers like the Cars, and ska revivalists like the Specials and
Madness. As important as these major artists were, there were also
countless one-hit wonders that emerged during early new wave. These
one-hit groups were as diverse as the major artists, but they all shared
a love of pop hooks, modernist, synthesized production, and a
fascination for being slightly left of center. By the early '80s, new
wave described nearly every new pop/rock artist, especially those that
used synthesizers like the Human League and Duran Duran. New wave
received a boost in the early '80s by MTV, who broadcast endless hours
of new wave videos in order to keep themselves on the air. Therefore,
new wave got a second life in 1982, when it probably would have died
out. Instead, 1982 and 1983 were boom years for polished, MTV-radio new
wave outfits like Culture Club, Adam Ant, Spandau Ballet, Haircut 100,
and A Flock of Seagulls. New wave finally died out in 1984, when
established artists began to make professional videos and a new crop of
guitar-oriented bands like the Smiths and R.E.M. emerged to capture the
attention of college-radio and underground rock fans. Nevertheless, new
wave proved more influential than many of its critics would have
suspected, as the mid-'90s were dominated by bands - from Blur to Weezer
- that were raised on the music.
