Reggae
Reggae music is a genre characterized by its laid-back, offbeat rhythm, often driven by a prominent bass line and emphasized percussion. Originating in Jamaica in the late 1960s, reggae evolved from traditional Caribbean mento and calypso styles, incorporating elements of American jazz, soul, and rock. The genre's golden era spanned the 1970s and 1980s, with its socially conscious and spiritually infused lyrics resonating worldwide. Reggae's unique blend of African, British, and indigenous influences reflects its cultural significance as a voice for the oppressed and a symbol of Jamaican identity. Distinct from similar styles like ska and dancehall, reggae's distinctive "one-drop" rhythm and emphasis on socially conscious lyrics set it apart. Its global impact has led to the creation of various sub-genres, such as roots reggae, dub, and reggae fusion, cementing its influence on modern music.
