Jamaica鈥檚 musicians have had a profound impact on modern music. It鈥檚 best known for Reggae, but before that came Ska. Many of the early Ska stars came from an orphanage in Kingston, The Alpha Boys school. It was run by nuns who were keen to teach the children music, but they couldn鈥檛 have known that so many of the Alpha old boys would end up on the world鈥檚 stage.
