Ska - etymology - unmentioned theory
I remember reading back in 1979 that the etymology of the word "ska" came from the Jamaican slang for hit-and-run cricket - ska-boom. The idea being that the beat of the music hits and then runs, hits and then runs. Skaboom is, of course, thte title of the Toasters album - but the reference that I saw pre-dates the album by several years. Anyone shed any light on this?
Something I Don't Get
A while ago, the Ska template was put in the page for Rock music, but later taken out on the grounds that ska isn't rock music. Then why is Christian ska listed as rock music?
