Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The word reggae is often associated with the likes of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh who were early pioneers of the music. Songs usually express the social, economic and political conditions of an area in the country or the country in general. The reggae performer acts as a representative for the "poor people"(civilians) crying out for help or for relief from the "big man" (government). Reggae music has a slow beat which allows for the perfomers' message to be heard more clearly. Listen to Bob Marley, Denis Brown and Buju Banton from my playlist. more on reggae from wikipedia |
