Ska is a lively, rhythmic music style that blends jazz, reggae, rhythm & blues, and Caribbean influences. Born in Jamaica in the late 1950s, Ska became the foundation for future genres such as reggae and 2 Tone, and later gained new life with the third wave of Ska in rock and punk circles. On Minatrix.FM you can listen to Ska online and download MP3 tracks for free — quickly, easily, and without registration.
What is Ska?
Ska is joyful, danceable music with a distinctive offbeat accent on the second and fourth beats, a vibrant horn section, and positive energy. It can be heard in classic Jamaican recordings of the 60s, in the UK underground of the 80s, and at alternative scene festivals of the 90s.
Key Features of Ska:
Bouncy rhythm (offbeat guitar/skank)
Horn section (trumpets, trombones, saxophones)
Cheerful and energetic sound
Simple yet catchy vocals
Sometimes with punk rock or dub elements
