Ska originated in the late 1950’s in Jamaica- bringing together R&B and Doo-Wop influences into a distinctly new Jamaican sound.  To get your Reggae Friday started, we have compiled a collection of early Ska tunes- including songs from the Skatalites and the Folkes Brothers,  as well as  rare tracks from the Wailers.    Dig it, it’s Friday!
