Reggae is a form of Afro-Caribbean music that was influenced by both African and Jamaican music. The name “reggae” comes from the word “rege-rege,” which is a Jamaican patois ( dialect) term for “rags” or “ragged clothing.” Reggae is often played at a slow tempo and is characterized by its heavy bass, drums, and horns. The lyrics of reggae songs are often about social and political issues, as well as love and relationships.

Reggae music originated in the late 1960s in Jamaica. At that time, there was a lot of political unrest on the island, as well as poverty and crime. Reggae artists used their music to express their feelings about these issues, and to give hope to the people of Jamaica. One of the most famous reggae artists is Bob Marley, who is known for his positive messages and uplifting songs.

Reggae music has also been very popular among Rastafarians. Rastafarians are a religious group who believe that Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, was the reincarnation of God. They also believe that all black people should return to Africa (known as ” repatriation”). Reggae music often contains references to Rastafarian beliefs, and many Rastafarians are also members of the reggae community.

This prophecy came true in 1930, when Haile Selassie I was crowned emperor of Ethiopia.
