???? Explore the evolution of SKA, starting from 1960. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:

✨ **Origins**: Ska really put the Jamaican music scene on the map. The nearest American city, New Orleans, brought its own version of R&B (Bluebeat) to the island where the sound was drastically changed. Sound effects like echos and advanced electronic instruments like turntables and sound systems (e.g. the famous Channel 1 and Cocksone Campbell systems) made this possible. The R&B rhythm of Bluebeat became accompanied by a marching beat, an influence from Rock 'n' Roll. Although there are (African) vocals, Ska (like a lot of Jamaican music) is more about the sound and feeling: optimistic, serene and peaceful. Blissful Jazzy riffs, horns and staccato guitars are the main tools to achieve this. Ska is also known for its large brass orchestras (10-20 people) dominating the music, whereas bass is rather simplistic with accent on the offbeat.
???? **Highlights**: When Detroit Soul and Philly Soul started to eclipse New Orleans Soul (Southern Soul) and New Orleans Blues, Ska experienced a sharp rise, as the Jamaican public - fond of the Crescent City’s music - was forced to take matters in their own hands. This happens simultaneously with the independence of Jamaica in 1962, providing a tremendous opportunity to create a unique and national sound for a new country. Ska becomes a huge success, accompanied by its own jagged, hyperactive type of dancing: Skank. With two subsequent and important ska-revivals (abroad), skank also receives an overhaul and gets picked up later by Hardcore Punk & Jump Up. For the sake of clarity, this genre is therefore pinpointed as the first wave of Ska or Jamaican Ska.
