🎙 Explore the evolution of ROCKSTEADY, starting from 1965. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:

✨ **Origins**: Right after the British Mersey Beat Revolution a small youth subculture, the mods, existed, that listened to their own type of mod Rock & Roll. Almost exactly the same happened in Jamaica after the Ska revolution: young gangsters and street kids (known as “rude boys”) changed the happy, uptempo Ska in something they could relate to: much cooler, slower music (influenced by Soul) with an easy but powerful bass and more Rock influences such as electric guitars (though sparse). This rude boy music became known as Rocksteady. And just as Punk, Rap or Mod, the lyrics were more often than not about political issues, although the music sounded nowhere near as rough, but was often performed in R&B-like small harmony groups. The reason for implementing political content and a slower, laidback and more serious tempo was a slowly growing discontent with the very first Jamaican government installed after the independence in 1962. Another reason for the slowing down of Jamaican music lay in the simple fact that many musicians just didn’t like to play Ska’s hyperactive rhythm. Particularly of notice for Rocksteady, is the famous Jamaican Tuff Gong Records label. Right before the rise of Reggae, Rocksteady led to a specific subgenre known as “Poppa-Top”, which had a looser and bubblier rhythm.
