[RandomAccount360]

Gee wizz Susan Jean I sure willickers would love to join you in a ska.

How in god's name did skanking go from this to what it is now? I really do not see any similarities between the 2 at ALL.

[jyoska79]

Welcome to the traditional and original Ska.

Ska-p sucks

[crazycubemom]

@jyoska79 Well said... This is The Real McCoy.

[Xozona]

How can this be a disgrace to ska, if this is the ORIGINAL incarnation of ska?? Without this, all the bands you listed wouldn't even exist!

[B3tty75]

@SKANDPUNKS I disagree...at about 1:31 ..that Rude Girl..to me she obviously is feelin the beat..

[NecromanceLanguage]

Lol@rowing

[Rockon2themax]

What's the name of the song? Or is it just some beats put together for the documentary? Well, I really like it that's why..

[Dolemite91]

I love ska and skanking is fun, but I'm sorry I burst out laughing when I saw the two guys rowing at each other. Plus the main speaker dude is funny is a kinda general way.

[Adj6525]

WTF? Where are the Trombones?

[ligark]

Man it ah move my grandma love it but at least she put in a 360 twist and jive that hips and the occasional 2 step dip and lets not forget the skirt tussle. Jeez these guys bussing da same move like it prison food. (for those who don't get the metaphor it means same ole' crap)

[jhipolito]

Another GREAT Asian in Jamaican Music History... The late Leslie Kong... If you're familiar with Beverly's All Stars... The band that backed many musicians from Derrick Morgan to The late great Desmond Dekker... Leslie Kong was the man behind it... BRILLIANT! :)

[EZaccessBTV]

"Rowing"... right...

[raassmd2]

Brap! Brap!

[calusa55]

Sorry not Bobby Brady Carl Brady...Bobby is is son and went to school with me

[calusa55]

The two guys from the band dancing are Keith Lyn and Bobby Brady, singer and percussionist

Byron playing bass and looks like Ken Lazarus on guitar left

Those were my good old days :-)

Tony Verity the cool fool...

[gag75]

What a KILLER ska session.

:D

[hultonclint]

Although it looks kinda like him, that's not Byron Lee dancing (as the video description says). He is there playing bass, behind the narrator!

[jyoska79]

Oh my godness, that is correct. I'm so sorry.

Thanks

[hultonclint]

No worries! In fact, it *is* pretty amazing to see that besides Byron there were at least two other Chinese-Jamaicans (i think?) in his band! Well, there have been lots of Chinese-Jamaicans involved in Jamaican music, incl. Clive Chin, Tony Chin...

[patchbod]

hahaha.

[rudeboydreaming]

Yea, sure, that is really all about ROWING. This is SK-YAH!

[nylund154]

None of these dancers looks like they're straight off the streets of Kingston, so, for all we know, THEY are doing the dance wrong. Something tells me no one in this video ever met a real rude boy skankin' away to Prince Buster.

Or, maybe, this really is how it went down...

[hultonclint]

This kind of dancing was sort of manufactured. Prince Buster himself said there was no distinct "ska dance" like this. Basically, this was to fit it "ska" as one of the "dance crazes" (think Cha cha cha, rhumba, the Twist, etc) that consumer (upper class) audience would do at the time. One way the music industry sold records was by popularizing dances that went w/ certain music. In 1964, there was an attempt to popularize ska in the US as the latest craze which is why they made up these moves.

[hultonclint]

...and they sent the genteel Byron Lee band to the NYC World's Fair to promote ska in the JA exhibit.

[PickleHead60]

Learn the difference between ska and skank, you blithering aol-using twat.

[jyoska79]

Skanking is a form of dancing practiced in the reggae, ska, ska punk, ska-core, hardcore punk, and grime music scenes.

The dance style originated in the 1950s or 1960s at Jamaican dance halls, where ska music was played. British mods and skinheads of the 1960s adopted these types of dances and altered them.

[jyoska79]

The dancing style was revived during the 1970s/1980s 2 Tone era, and has been adopted by some individuals in the hardcore punk subculture. The punk version features a sharp striking out look with the arms, and is sometimes used in moshing to knock around others doing the same. The striking out with the arms while traveling in a circle is also common in psychobilly "wrecking."

[jyoska79]

The term "skanking" has also been used to refer to a style of rhythm guitar playing employed frequently in reggae music as part of the actual rhythm section, most frequently as a regular up stroke across all six strings of the guitar on every other beat of the measure, frequently exactly accompanied by the keyboard equivalent.

Any question?

Have a good SKANKING!

[kingstoner13]

That guitar style is called chucking actually.

[bremexperience]

The song is a ska version of "Last Night" by the Mar-Keys

[marianoip]

vieja escuela

[Gabopunkska]

Buen Video¡¡¡

Buen Skanking ¡¡

[brayitan16]

ezzo es vieja escuela po loko

[deftoast]

"Ska is as easy as that!"

Cool video!

I wonder where the transition happened to what's known as skanking now?

[skamastershane13]

probably when ska hit europe.

2tone. then once the third wave came around we fucked it all to hell haha.

[juansp18]

JOJOJJOJO MIRA las mallas que lleva la de blanco!!! si estaban buenas tambien las tias por entonces!!!! que fuerte xD

[debug1947]

I'm glad those last two guys were rowing a boat because it looked like they were running a train.

[pafaver]

excelente video jyoska, muestra la escencia de esta maravillosa musica, ademas de que es muy instructivo

[brando444]

Now if only all people at ska shows these days danced like this instead of the stupid crap they pull. It's like they think they're in a hardcore show and they have to punch people. I still keep the spirit alive and pull out the old moves at shows!

[outofsteplv]
