Thanx.


Hi, UD.

You're right, that's exactly what it is. The best source to learn about this style is this FAQ .

Here are a couple of other good sources, some with mp3(s):
http://ska.about.com/ http://www.syracuseska.com/ http://www.thisisska.com.ar/ http://www.billtanner.net/ska/

If you're curious enough to listen to something 'strange sounding' , you can check this link , for a sample of ska made in Portugal. Here's a midi of a ska song (made in Brazil), as well.
