Rocksteady!!!

Okay! i love freedom! and especially for writing about something i like
This is how i feel listening this rhythm, in total freedom, Welcome to Jamaica! i present: the rocksteady!

I want to be as clear in my post, and as the topic of the post is the music, I'll put some links of videos to better clarify and understand what I'm talking about. but, hey! back to the post. 

This rhythm is a combination between reggae and ska and dance very similar to the latter, but I mean the old ska because it has many differences with the current

I leave here as a sample of the old ska dancing:





The father of this rhythm is the SKA, this rhytm is older than the rocksteady and is the grandfather of reggae. The reggae beat is a derivative of RocksteadyAnd obviously all these rhythms have their origins in the same island, Jamaica.


It is said that a little tired with Jamaican ska began to investigate new rhythms, thenrocksteady was discovered in 1966.

The letters were not as banal as ska, in contrast, tried things that were on the dailyexperiences, and even in the international arena. This rhythm had a good journey in themost popular areas of Jamaica, yet still very popular.


Some bands that play these rhythms are: Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Dekker (so you know, the classmate was bob marley xD), U-Roy, Prince Buster, Jimmy Cliff, etc ... I recommend it.

this song is one of my favourite playlist, and talk about the shanty Town:


Overall I am a lover of these rhythms, ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub reggae...If you have time and are in tune, you can enjoy some of them...
