Reggae is a kind of music that has its roots in Jamaica. Most music from Jamaica can be called reggae. It started in the late 1960s. The music has regular chops on the back beat (off-beat). These are called “skank”, and are played by a rhythm guitarist. The bass drum hits on the second and fourth beat of each measure (each bar). These are called the “drop”. Reggae bands are also using a bass, a keyboard or organ, and brass. Reggae songs are mostly composed and written about religion, love and social problems. Bob Marley (1945-1981) was the most popular and famous reggae artist which brought the reggae music out to the mass.
