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’.
\n
\nSka 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.
\n
\nLet’s get a little background first before we try to pinpoint who coined this term.
\n
\nBefore 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
