Mapping The History Of Ska


Making the Waves: The Evolution of Ska maps the history of ska music from its origins inwards 1950's Jamaica through its 70's revival inwards the Great Britain in addition to on to its 'third wave' inwards the USA.

This EntertainMaps created map provides brief introductions to a expose of ska musical artists inwards Jamaica, the Great Britain in addition to the USA. If y'all guide the markers on the map y'all tin read these introductions in addition to spotter a YouTube video of the band or performer.

I gauge i of the dangers inwards making such a map is that y'all volition ever last criticized for who you've left off the map. I don't know much well-nigh the 'third wave' of ska inwards the USA simply I create know that the Jamaica in addition to Great Britain areas of the map are non precisely exhaustive. The Great Britain section, for example, exclusively includes 3 ska bands. I've never been a huge fan of ska simply fifty-fifty I tin intend of a expose of Great Britain in addition to Jamaica ska bands in addition to artists that look conspicuous past times their absence from the map.


Fans of 70's Great Britain music mightiness too similar EntertainMaps' London's Burning map. London's Burning plots the origins of roughly of London's finest punk bands. It too allows y'all to head to a vocal past times each of the mapped bands.

This map used to include Mapbox's glorious Wheatpaste map tiles. The Wheatpaste map means was inspired past times the cutting & paste, collage means of music flyers & posters, pop amongst punk in addition to novel moving ridge bands. It worked beautifully on a map well-nigh Punk music. Unfortunately London's Burning immediately seems to purpose a dark & white version of Stamen's Watercolor map style.
