origins and suggestions
 

Hey, I'm Ken, and I love ska. Unfortunately, I haven't heard that much of it. I have some Five iron Frenzy, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Reel Big Fish, but that's about it. I was wondering if I could get some suggestions of bands and albums to get, and also, I've been wondering for a while: what the hell does "ska" mean? How was that the name that was given to this style of music? Does it mean something in some language? Thanksfor your help.
