Name that jammer, anyone?
This is Ska.
A 1964 documentary on the then-emerging sound of Jamaica, including Byron Lee and a number of other innovators of the genre, including the recently-departed Prince Buster. Includes dance steps and other handy reference points.
All aboard.

Rude boys especially.

Rónán O’Neill writes:
“Interskalactic are a 10-piece band performing first wave, old-school, big band Jamaican Ska. We opened up the Main Stage on the Saturday of this year’s Body & Soul, managed to have great craic, get people up and dancing and also get the whole thing recorded in the process! Hope some people get a buzz out of the video. We’ve a pretty busy schedule for the rest of the year too, so if anyone’s digging the tunes they can check out some tracks and our upcoming schedule on Facebook / Twitter / Soundcloud, Cheers!”
