What is Ska (Scar) Music...

Hmm, I'd rather tune into the real thing myself. I wouldnt mind so much if they moved away from it now...obviously it was an easy way to get going, happy-go lucky ska, now if they made the sound their own..

since when it began?
check wikipedia or something
bbc has some good information about the ska/reggae/rocksteady/lovers rock etc but i dont have the url saved so google for it

ska was around as early as 1950s

he/she's right. Ska was definitely around first.

Although the difference between early ska and reggae isn't exactly huge.
