Where did reggae music come from?

Jamaica

The word "reggae" comes from the name of a street in Jamaica, which means trivial things in daily life. Reggae music evolved from rocksteady and ska music, and combines the lyrical style of American rhythm and blues with elements of Latin music.

At that time, the Jamaican musician heard the New Orleans fast-tempo "Rll Be Burnin'" on the radio, which ranked No. 8 on the Billboard Rap Singles Chart and No. 18 on the Hot 100 Singles Chart. The best result of "WellBeBurnin" in the UK chart was runner-up.

Sean Paul was the first to incorporate dance rhythms and rap into reggae music and promote it. The first person to eat crabs often becomes a classic in the future. Although we dare not and should not abuse the word "classic" now, it is very worthwhile for artists like SeanPaul who are brave enough to try and innovate and have their own unique music style. Respected.
