When asked about Ska today (a Caribbean music genre that predated reggae and rocksteady) many people in my generation think of No Doubt, The Mighty Mighty Bostons, Goldfinger, Rancid, Operation Ivy, Sugar Ray and Sublime. While a relevant evolution of the musical genre, Ska has been around since the early 1950’s and witnessed three waves of popularity. The genre has much more depth musically and socio-politiacally.
