Reggae is a music genre developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term 'reggae' is sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, although the word specifically indicates a particular music style that originated after the development of ska and rocksteady. Reggae is based on a rhythm style characterized by regular chops on the off-beat, known as the skank. The tempo is generally slower than that found in ska and rocksteady. Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which influenced many prominent reggae musicians in the 1970s and 1980s. Reggae song lyrics deal with many subjects, including faith, love, relationships, poverty, injustice and other broad social issues. Reggae usually has accents on the 2nd and 4th beat in each bar.

The lead guitar will often add a rock or blues-style melodic solo to a song, but much of the time it plays the same part as the bass line; an octave higher, with a very muted and picked sound.

"Hey mister music, sure sounds good to me
I cant refuse it, what to be got to be
Feel like dancing, dance cause we are free
Feel like dancing, come dance with me
Roots rock reggae, this a reggae music
Play I some music, this a reggae music

Play I on the r&b, want all my people to see
We bubbling on the top 100, just like a mighty dread
(repeat)

Roots rock reggae, this a reggae music
Play I some music, this a reggae music" B.M.
