==Etymology==
There are multiple theories about the origins of the word ''ska''. [[Ernest Ranglin]] claimed that the term was coined by musicians to refer to the "skat! skat! skat!" scratching guitar strum.<ref name="White">White, Timothy (1983) "Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley", Corgi Books</ref> Another explanation is that at a recording session in 1959 produced by [[Coxsone Dodd]], double bassist [[Cluett Johnson]] instructed guitarist Ranglin to "play like ska, ska, ska", although Ranglin has denied this, stating "Clue couldn't tell me what to play!"<ref name="Thompson">Thompson, Dave (2002) "Reggae & Caribbean Music", Backbeat Books, {{ISBN|0-87930-655-6}}</ref> A further theory is that it derives from Johnson's word ''skavoovie'', with which he was known to greet his friends.<ref name="Boot">Boot, Adrian & Salewicz, Chris (1995) "Bob Marley: Songs of Freedom", Bloomsbury</ref> [[Jackie Mittoo]] insisted that the musicians called the rhythm ''Staya Staya'', and that it was [[Byron Lee]] who introduced the term "ska".<ref name="Clarke">Clarke, Sebastien "Jah Music: the Evolution of the Popular Jamaican Song"</ref> [[Derrick Morgan]] said: "Guitar and piano making a ska sound, like 'ska, ska".<ref name="Oral">Augustyn, Heather (2010).
