In this episode, we dive into the vibrant world of reggae music, exploring its rich history and cultural significance. Emerging in Jamaica in the late 1960s, reggae evolved from earlier styles like ska and rocksteady, influenced by traditional Caribbean rhythms and American jazz. We discuss the impact of the Rastafari movement and the unique drumming styles it brought, including the meditative Nyabinghi rhythm. Discover the distinctive sounds that define reggae, such as the off-beat guitar technique known as the "skank" and the laid-back "one drop" bass drum pattern. Beyond the music itself, learn about the stories and cultural identity that reggae embodies—a true celebration of life, struggle, and resilience. Join us on this musical journey!
