Ska Jamaican  is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the off-beat. Ska developed in Jamaica in the 1960s when Prince Buster, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, and Duke Reid formed sound systems to play American rhythm & blues and then began recording their own songs.[2] Some suggest ska dates to earlier times, however. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. Later it became popular with many skinheads.

Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three periods: the original Jamaican scene of the 1960s; the 2 Tone ska revival of the late 1970s in Britain, which fused Jamaican ska rhythms and melodies with the faster tempos and harder edge of punk rock; and the third wave of ska, which involved bands from the UK, other European countries (notably Germany), Australia, Japan, South America and the US, beginning in the 1980s and peaking in the 1990s.

"These are the times that try men's souls"...Theses are the times when we curse out loud and then after cursing try to find some solutions.

So many of us want to put a bandaid over a infected head wound, to cover up what has been festering since enslaved black people were brought to this country to build this nation and make others rich!

Then we have are asked to cope and justify the overarching threats and fears that control the dominate society. We have been told to suffer in silence and understand thier need to kill us. In the Boardrooms of the world the questions is asked:

What do you do with a people you feel you no longer need?

What do you do with the children,grandchildren and great-grand children of the enslaved?

We who have built the infrastruture for this nations prosperity are now we are used as grist for the mill of the prision industrial system, social service system, military industrial complex and primary targets for the war on poverty and drugs used by coroprate and  govermental agencies as the code word for war on the poor and black.

In the open prisions of our inner cities we are patrolled and beaten and murdered at the will of police officers, vigilanties and frightened or annoyed citizens who cover for each others hatred and racism and justify the murders of men and women of African descent. We who haven't educated our children and are unaware of the history of racism in the police departments and judicial system look at a black Police Officers, Mayors or Presidents and don't recognize the black-face on the System of White Supremacy, we are believe they are the fruits of our progress!Tonight we ask WTF is really going on?

Prince Buster’s funeral Yesterday Sibling brawl at cemetery R.I.P ..

In sharp contrast to the accepted principle of Islam being a religion that preaches peace, the sons of late ska pioneer Prince Buster marred his funeral yesterday when they engaged in a verbal brawl that almost became physical outside the Islamic Council of Jamaica on Camp Road in St Andrew.

The uproar occurred just after Sheikh Musa Tijani concluded the brief Muslim funeral rites.

At the centre of the fracas, which saw the siblings hurling insults at each other, was the final resting place of their late father.

The ska legend had apparently asked to be buried at May Pen Cemetery in his West Kingston community.
