History of Reggae
Reggae music originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term reggae was first used to describe a particular style of Jamaican popular music, and then later came to refer to all Jamaican music. Reggae is characterized by a strong rhythm, typically played on the drums and bass guitar, and often featuring saxophone, trombone, or organ. Reggae is typically slower than ska and rocksteady, and has a distinguishing syncopated offbeat rhythm.
Reggae developed from earlier genres like ska and rocksteady. Reggae lyrics are often spiritual or political in nature. The music is also known for its use of Rastafarian vocabulary and imagery.
