For lovers of the music originating in the West Indies, I have the inside story of the development of the reggae which has now become popular around the world.  Back in the 1940’s post war, Jamaica was a melting pot of the music introduced by the US service personnel and the traditional Carribbean rythms.  From these styles, the rythm of Jamaican Ska developed, made popular by the people who flocked to the dance halls to hear their favourite musicians and dance the nights away.
