Another Skaturday Night (and I Ain't Got No Trilby)

Welcome to another episode of Get the Word! everyone. This one’s for all you skins and rudies out there. It’s about the origin of the word ‘ska’.

Ska is a type of music with a very danceable beat. Some of the distinctive elements of the ska rhythm are a walking bass line, an uptempo speed and a strong offbeat which you can hear in the background of this episode today.

Let’s get a little background first before we try to pinpoint who coined this term.

Before we begin our journey, I highly recommend that you head on over to the English Sessions website for the transcript of this episode, where I  will be sprinkling in many different video clips as we explore ska today: https://www.englishsessionswithmike.com/2021/07/get-word-podcast-episode-another.html
