Ska is a type of music with a very danceable beat. Some of the distinctive elements of the ska rhythm are a walking bass line, an uptempo speed and a strong offbeat which you can hear in the background of this episode today.

Let’s get a little background first before we try to pinpoint who coined this term.

Before we begin our journey, I highly recommend that you head on over to the English Sessions website for the transcript of this episode, where I  will be sprinkling in many different video clips as we explore ska today: https://www.englishsessionswithmike.com/2021/07/get-word-podcast-episode-another.html
