Music of Jamaica - Ska
By 1964, a distinctive Jamaican music had sprung up based around the sound systems called ska, which was fast and danceable. Perhaps the best-known of the original ska wave were The Skatalites, whose career spanned decades. At first primarily instrumental, ska's rhythms generally didn't lend well to vocal stylings, though some popular artists such as The Maytals and The Wailers got their start by singing in this style.
Some of ska's fans were "rude boys", the local name for gangsters and petty thieves. Rude boys were anything from fashionable poseurs to hard-edged, violent and misogynist thugs with nothing to lose in Jamaica's post-independence economic depression. Rude boys brought controversy to the ska scene and scorn from the island's almost entirely white middle- and upper-classes. The rude boys also garnered attention from politicians, who promised protection, gifts of weapons or other incentives to harness their political support or to employ them as thugs.
