Reggae Festival

August 20, 2018 By Zola Zeester Leave a Comment

“Reggae, oh man. It’s the ultimate music. The positivity. The musicality. The whole cultural expressionism of it. The danceability. Just the cool factor. The melody factor.” — Lupe Fiasco, American rapper 

Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica during the late 1960’s, incorporating musical elements of R&B, jazz, Jamaican folk, calypso, Jamaican ‘ska’ and ‘rocksteady’ of the 50’s & 60’s, as well as African and Latin music, but it’s distinguished by that now familiar reggae beat — a counterpoint between the bass and drum downbeat and the offbeat rhythm section.

Other than the beat, reggae often has common themes in its lyrics.  In the beginning, romantic love dominated the lyrics of reggae, then it expanded to different kinds of love in the 70’s — spiritual love, the love of one’s fellow man, and of God, or “Jah”.  Reggae lyrics soon evolved even more as a voice against violence, poverty, racism, and government oppression.

After more than 50 years, reggae has spread throughout the world, often incorporating local instruments and mixes with other genres.  It’s also inspired innovation of entirely new musical styles, and has been interfused with other popular genres, like hip-hop and rap.
