Are you interested in music?

           Hello friends, today I'm gonna be speaking about different types of instruments, types of music and I'm going to comment some musicians that were and are artists of the music.
  
           The instruments are divided in three groups, percussion instruments like (drums, cymbals...), Later, there are the wind instruments (flute, oboe, trumpet...) and to finish with the types of instruments there are the strings instruments ( viola, guitar, cello..). However, there are types of music like reggae (bob marley), Rock (rolling stones), Metal (ACDC) Ska (The Skatalites)... I'm going to explain some of this types of music.

          Reggae is a music genre that first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes it is used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rock steady. The most famous was Bob Marley.
    
  Bob Marley was born in February of 1945 and died in March of 1981. He started his career with The Wailers in 1963 and finished in 1981. In his life Bob did 17 CD s and he played concerts around the world because he was very famous and his music liked to people.


        Another type of music is ska. Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and it was the precursor to rockstedy and reggae. Ska combined elements of Caribbean mento and  calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. In 1960 ska was the dominant music genre in Jamaica and it was popular. A popular group of ska was the skatalites.
                             
          The Skatalites are a ska band from Jamaica. They played initially between 1963 and 1965 and reformed in 1983 and play together ever since.  The group is composed by a guitar, a bass, a battery and a singer. They created 27 CD since now and to finish with them I'm going to leave a video:
