Ska might be the only style of music left that hasn't been over played, exploited and synthesized into pop culture. So before that happens it might be a good idea to understand what ska is to people. As one of the founding members of www.ska4u.com I feel that ska is best represented by the fans and the musicians. There are a few simple ways to define the meaning of ska.
These are some that I came up with:
1- Ska originated in Jamaica after the British colonial rule ended.( Great reason to party!)
2-Ska is dance music.
3-Ska is about unity, regardless of backround.
4-Ska is a rebellious attitude towards things that make life suck.
5-Ska is an unselfish community of people who love ska.
And so I will have to re emphasize #5
and refer you to skasummit.com...
As soon as you hit the link, you will
be one dropped directly into a
world of ska.
And don't forget as we say goodbye to 8 years of life that sucked
we must look forward to a way of enjoying each others company
without too much unnecessary amounts of dialogue.
It's time to dance!
Ska is one of many ways to do this...
