Reggae or ragga is a genre that has grown out of other several music types like ska and mento, and Ameican R&B. “Reggae is characterized by a heavy backbeated rhythm, meaning the emphasis of the beat is on, for example, beats 2 and 4, when in 4/4 time. This backbeat is characteristic of all African-based musics and is not found in traditional European or Asian music. Reggae drummers also emphasize the third beat when in 4/4 time with a kick to the bass drum.”(http://worldmusic.about.com/od/genres/p/Reggae.htm).
Bob Marley is the most famous reggae artist. He was able to capture the hearts of reggae fans around the world. He is the only man responsible for spreading out reggae music worldwide. Many other artists, including Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh, were also integral to the spread of the genre.
