Welcome to Musical Moondays. Before there was a ska revival in the 80s in the U.K of the two tone ska movement and then a revival of ska with ska core bands like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in the 90s, Ska originated from Jamaica and is the precursor to Reggae though most people don't know that. The first ska band, which I've been lucky to see twice as they are still around are the Skatalites formed in 1958.
Everyone knows who Bob Marley is, but they don't know that before there was Bob Marley and the Wailers, there was Bob Marley and the Wailing Wailers:
I loves this album set!
And we can't speak of ska without Desmond Dekker either.
And one of my favorites and quite hard to find, Justin Hinds and the Dominoes.
Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!
