Ska jamaicano y su adopción en España durante la década de 1960
Abstract
During the mid-twentieth century, a wide variety of musical styles relating to reggae began to evolve in Jamaica. This evolution has continued to the present day, forming part of the Western popular music scene. Ska was the first of this prolific stylistic line, becoming the most representative music of the Jamaican people for part of the 1950s and 1960s. In this period, marked by the intense transformation of European and American popular music, ska became known in various countries, marking Jamaican music’s early incorporation into the international scene. The present article examines musical forms relating to ska that existed in Spain during the 1960s, as well as their relationship to the variants of the genre that occurred simultaneously in other territories, in relation to each cultural context.
