Around '68, "Reggae" was officially formed.

It was later improved by musicians from New Orleans in the United States and turned into reggae, and then spread back to Jamaica.

Reggae, like rock music, is just a general term. It has many branches, including psychedelic Dub, Rocksteady similar to R&B, Ragga with dance rhythm, Dancehall Rapping, etc. It is the most famous in Jamaica. produce. The origin of the name reggae Speaking of the origin of the name reggae, in fact it comes from the name of a street in Jamaica, which means some trivial things in daily life.

Early reggae music was actually a way for a group of poor people living in the city to express their passion, so most of the content was about social revolution. It's just a bunch of radical rhetoric, and sometimes you really feel like the lyrics are so bitter and ironic! However, of course not every lyric is so indignant. There are also some lyrics that convey justice, hope and noble and great love!

Music Development Bob Marley and his orchestra are the originators of reggae music. As the film soundtrack successfully spread to the United States, it gradually influenced white musicians. Traces of reggae music can often be found in rock and rap music.

After the death of Bob Marley, reggae music gradually declined. It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that a new style of music emerged that combined rap music and reggae music. This new music style called dub or toasting injected new life into reggae music.

Bob’s son, Ziggy Marley, was also a representative figure in the reggae scene during this time.
