Ska
Ska is a genre of music. Good dance music. Probably not the same dance music you're thinking of! It came about in Jamaica in the early 60's. There are 3 "waves" or time periods where ska has been significant. These are first wave (traditional) which was in Jamaica. Second wave (two tone) which was in the UK... and third wave which is all over the world.
