Ska is a form of Jamaican music which began in the late 1950s. Combining
elements of traditional mento and calypso with an American jazz and rhythm
and blues sound, it was a precursor in Jamaica to rocksteady and later
reggae.

It is the predominant form of music listened to by the Rudeboy, Mod, and
Skinhead movements, amongst others, with artists such as Symarip, Laurel
Aitken, The Charmers and The Pioneers aiming songs at these groups as far
back as the 1960s.

Musical historians typically divide the history of ska into three waves. Ska's
popularity has waxed and waned since its original inception, and has had
revivals of note in England in the 1980s and another wave of popularity in the
1990s.

I like that song called "The Year of the Cat." Of course, I don't know who sings it, and I'm pretty darn sure it's NOT ska... but it's a darn catchy song!

And this is relevant because... "The Year of the Cat," is a great example of a non-ska song. Yep.
