In the 1960s, Jamaica experienced a cultural phenomenon with the rise of Jamaican sound systems. These mobile discos played an essential role in introducing new music to the masses. The birth of ska, a genre characterized by its energetic beats and horn-driven melodies, marked a significant milestone in the evolution of reggae.
