Reggae Music

What exactly is reggae? Reggae music is a rhythm that has many beats to it. It was first originated in Jamaica, which is why the picture above shows the Jamaican colors. Most instruments used to create this music are guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, horns, or trumpets. Also, many artists you may be familiar with that sing this type of music include Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Joe Gibbs, and many more. Like many genres of music, it has changed over-time. Personally, I would prefer reggae how it was in the old times because it sounds better without all the technology and smartsounds editors use nowadays. For those of you that are not familiar with reggae, a branch of this genre you might be familiar with is reggaeton. Reggaeton is danced by Latin Americans. It started in the early 1990s. Though reggae started in Jamaica, it has touched many different countries, and each one has its own interpretation of it.
