Did you just say "INNART"???Delendi wrote:innart... we're exploring new cultures, activities, musics etc all the time and sometimes there are occasions where there really isn't a word in our traditional english (or wherever you're from) dialect which describes what we see/feel/hear. you'd have to use LOTS of words instead of just one patois or whatever else word. some tunes are just a lot more 'shower' than 'really rather pleasant on the ear'
Ska came first,which was essentially the Jamaican version of American Soul/RnB.Then came Rock Steady,then Rockers,next Crackers,then Reggae.The earliest roots of Dub was concieved within all of this.elgato wrote:apparently rock steady came after ska, as the result of a particularly hot summer in Jamaica, thus the bands slowed the tempo for the dances and rock steady developed! jokes...Shonky wrote:Think there was also bluebeat and rock steady before reggae.jim wrote:Ska is jamaican and preceded reggae!

I'd say he kinda does both.Look at the differences between 'John Public' and the classic 'Night Nurse'.The man is a legend in that way.Horace Andy has always had love songs too.And let's not forget good ol' Desmond Dekker,who did it ska,rock steady,and reggae.I'd almost have to say that those three were the biggest influences on Lovers Rock.obIwan wrote:Gregory Isaacs is lovers rock though, and he aint from England is he? I don't really dig it too much, its like mums music innit! Okay Wiki'd it and it started in South London, so IS more English than Ska
