2 tone ringer t-shirt with a ska dancers design. Great for 2 tone and reggae fans! ‘Ska’ was a musical style that started in Jamaica in the 1950s. It was precursory to & influenced the later styles of Rocksteady & Reggae. Ska combined elements of Caribbean Mento & Calypso with American Jazz, rhythm n’blues. Its main trademark was a walking bass-line accented by rhythms on the upbeat. It became a favorite of British Mods in the early 1960s, and was adopted by another British tribe, the Skinheads, in the 1970s.The history of ska can be divided into three main periods: - The Jamaican scene of the 50s, the UK two-tone ska- revival in the late 70s, & again in the 80s when it re-emerged to rise to popularity in the US into the 90s.
