Come and join us for our end of year Christmas Party at Eleven Bridges! DJ's Sounds of Soul Brisbane and Craig AC will be playing old school Ska, 2 Tone, Reggae, Dancehall and more, all on original vinyl. Doors open at 6.30pm. An explanation of the music styles is below:
Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, blending elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It's characterized by a fast tempo, prominent bass lines, and a distinctive "offbeat" guitar rhythm.
Ska is cons.
Two-tone, also known as 2 tone or ska revival, is a British music genre that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, blending traditional Jamaican ska, rock steady, and reggae with elements of punk rock and new wave. It's characterized by its energetic rhythms, upbeat tempos, and often socially conscious lyrics, reflecting a multicultural and anti-racist message.
Dancehall is a vibrant genre of Jamaican popular music that emerged in the late 1970s. It's characterized by its fast-paced rhythms, often built on digital instrumentation, and the toasting or rapping style of the deejay over prerecorded tracks. Dancehall has significantly influenced other music genres, particularly hip-hop and dance music, and has its own distinct dance styles.
Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. It evolved from earlier Jamaican styles like ska and rocksteady, and is known for its distinctive offbeat rhythm, emphasis on bass and drums, and often socially conscious or spiritual lyrics.
