	Reggae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reggae may be used in a broad sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, including ska, rocksteady, dub, dancehall and ragga.
		Reggae is founded upon a rhythm style which is characterized by regular chops on the back beat, known as the "skank", played by a rhythm guitarist, and a bass drum hitting on the third beat of each measure, known as "one drop." Characteristically, this beat is slower than in reggae's precursors, ska and rocksteady.
		Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which influenced many prominent reggae musicians in the 1970s and 1980s.

	Definitions of Style - Reggae
		Familiar around the globe primarily because of the hypnotic music of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, reggae is a Jamaican popular music that developed in the late 1960s in the wake of its predecessors: ska, mento, and rock steady.
		Reflecting the uptempo nature of the classic RandB artists, ska was a high-energy dance music, but it gave way in the mid-1960s to a slower, more deliberate form known as rock steady.
		Reggae, as we know it today, emerged when these musicians fell under the influence of the longer songs and open-ended instrumental improvisation.

		"The penetration of reggae globally, is one of Jamaica's greatest victories, especially as globalisation is becoming one of today's more controversial topics," Dermot Hussey told the recent Reggae Studies Unit lecture at the Undercroft of the University of the West Indies (UWI).
		He said that reggae has accomplished this feat at a time when people are arguing about loss of cultural identity, the terror of westernisation and cultural imperialism.
		The erstwhile host of two local radio shows, The Inner Ear, on the now defunct JBC (1980s) and, of more recent vintage, The Global Beat on RJR, further noted that Britain was the first offshore market for Jamaica popular music, and the first international connection that popular Jamaican music made.
