Precursor to reggae (3)

I believe the answer is:

ska

'precursor to reggae' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ska that I've seen before include "Dancehall music" , "Jamaican music, forerunner of reggae" , "popular music" , "Noted genre" , "Jamaican music style" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the Rock and Roll and the Universal.
