Ska: An Oral History, Paperback/Heather Augustyn

Descriere & specificații

Before Bob Marley brought reggae to the world, before Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh, before thousands of musicians played a Jamaican rhythm, there were the men and women who created ska music, a blend of jazz, American rhythm and blues, and the indigenous music of the Caribbean. This book tells the story of ska music and its development from Jamaica to England, where the music took on a distinctively different tone, and finally to the rest of the world. Through the words of legendary artists, gleaned from more than a decade of interviews, the story of ska music is finally told by those who were there. About the Author: Heather Augustyn is a correspondent for The Times of Northwest Indiana . Her work has appeared in numerous national and international publications, including The Village Voice, In These Times and The Humanist . She lives in Chesterton, Indiana.
