ABSTRACT
That was written by a journalist in England, and he wasn’t talking about one of Kingston’s sound systems. He was describing a blues dance he’d attended in a black area of London. For the thousands of West Indians who settled in Britain during the boom years of immigration from the 1950s to the mid-1960s brought their music and their culture with them. And within a few years, every major British city with a sizeable West Indian population was beginning to shake to the sounds of ska and reggae.
