Reggae
“well reggae music is a music created by rasta people.
and it carry force of people riddum. ya know it’s a riddum of people workin, people moving; ya know.” -bob marley
the reggae song one love by bob marley was named the “song of the millenium” by time magazine in 2000.
reggae, especially that of bob marley, is some of the most soulful and mystical music you could ever hope to bless your ears upon. it can range from the sweet rhythms and politics of bob marley to the god awful dancehall of sean paul.
it is mostly hated by the shallow, white, suburban teenagers who can’t get past that d-mned punk rock and mtv.
“my music will go on forever. maybe it’s a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. my music will go on forever.” – bob marley
popular music originating in the west indies; repet-tive b-ss riffs and regular chords played on the off beat by a guitar

reggae is a music movement created in jamaica, contributed to greatly by the late the hon. robert nesta marley. reggae is almost like a way of life. and reggae doesn’t only involve rastafarians singing about weed. it’s about unity, love, and sending that message around the world.
(and now that everyone, that is celebrities, want to jump on the reggae bandwagon, like sinead o’connor, lumidee and stevie wonder, the genre has become exploited. everyone wants to do a collaboration with a reggae star. the jamaican colours are spread all over, and jamaica is getting no credit.)
and note, reggae is different from dancehall music!! dancehall is more of a dj-ing gig and reggae actually involves singing.
some great reggae artists:
bob marley

toots hibert
beres hammond
