Definition(s)

  • Reggae is a unique, exceptional, and infectious musical expression that developed out of the creativity of African Jamaicans during the early 1970s. It is a distinctive artistic musical style centering on its captivating 2/4 downbeat syncopated rhythm pattern that is created by a passionately played electric base guitar, drums, and organ or electric piano.
