The origin of reggae music

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, Jamaican musicians developed their own R&B music based on the fast-paced New Orleans R&B they heard on the radio. This music type called Ska was quite popular in the 1960s. However, during a very hot summer, local people could not play such fast-paced music and dance outdoors in the high temperature. Local musicians slowed down the music and formed Reggae music. The word Reggae is derived from "Ragged", which represents the raunchy dance form of Jamaica.
