Jamaican music played in the early 60's, influenced by American jazz swing and New Orleans
Rhythm & Blues. After 1966, there was no more ska in Jamaica, but ska did a come-back in
the late 1970's in UK with the 2 Tone label, combining the sound of Jamaican ska and the
energy of Punk Rock. In the 1980's, a third wave of ska incorporated punk rock (and
sometimes hardcore) sounds. Typical 4/4 timing, but the offbeat is always accentuated.
