No Doubt also did Reggae Fusion. Ska is an entire Subgenre. Anything for the clicks.

Most of the Ska bands I've ever seen were horrible live. And they're almost always all white. Seems like black musicians won't get together and play Ska.
Anyway, here's a song by a group called Cymande. The name of the song is Bra and it came out in the early 70s. The whole album is tight.

Canada been ? up reggae. Word to Snow and Drake.
@5 Grand , Cymande is my ? . I found them while digging for samples, ended up never sampling their ? but became a fan.
? , if you wanna talk white people making reggae, Sting and the Police made some decent reggae sounding joints. They didn't overdo it like these Magic dudes, but you can hear the influence.

Yup. It has black roots but it's been white dominated for decades.
