reggae definition and meaning

What is "reggae"?

Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s, characterized by its distinctive offbeat rhythm and socially conscious lyrics. It often features prominent bass lines, steady drumbeats, and melodic guitar riffs. Reggae lyrics typically address themes of peace, love, social justice, and resistance to oppression. The genre gained global popularity, largely through artists like Bob Marley, and is closely tied to Jamaican culture and the Rastafarian movement.
