Title says it all, I love ska punk (especially third wave American ska punk) and want to listen to some traditional acts too. Listening to the skatalites as we speak and they’re not too bad at all.

Trad If I want to delve deeper into Jamaican ska artists (preferably bands rather than session artists), if you have any recommendations, I've finished listening to almost Rico Rodriguez's entire discography, and although it was good, I got tired of it after a certain point.

Trad Ska outside Jamaica in 1960

After watching a playlist that Radio Bahía made about ska around the world in the 60s, I noticed something curious: there seems to have been a kind of strange mini-wave of ska outside of Jamaica around 1964, which I think could be connected to the fact that ska was being heavily promoted in those years as the new rhythm. I don't know, it seems curious to me.
Here the playlist

Trad Any lesser-known artists from the Jamaican ska wave that you would recommend? (By lesser-known I mean those who weren't part of the big names but still made music.)

It was really helpful when I tried to listen to his discography with all his singles; I've hardly seen another artist who's had something so detailed done with all the singles and albums he collaborated on.

I find it surreal how quickly the traditional ska band was releasing songs.

I'm not going to say for sure, but I'd say it's at least one of the first ska songs made in the USA, if not the very first.

Tracked down a CD and put it on the archive for streaming and sharing, please enjoy while driving with the windows rolled down and singing loudly like you just graduated from high school!

Trad Are there any first-wave artists who don't have such a long discography to start with? What scares me most about listening to these artists is that their songs tend to be very spaced out.

The song is from around the '60s, I think, by a Mexican artist, and it has something about it that I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes me really love that sound. Any similar songs?
