FAQ About The Evolution of Ska Music Subgenres
How did ska music evolve in the 1960s?
In the 1960s, ska music evolved into rocksteady due to a change in tempo. This was partly influenced by the hot summer climate as musicians slowed down the beats. Rocksteady emphasized tighter vocal harmonies and smoother rhythms. By the late 1960s, ska musicians, influenced by social and political changes, further developed these elements into reggae music.
