9 Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s.music genreJamaica1960s While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on 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. Reggae usually has accents on the 3rd beat in each bar, there being four beats in a bar; many people think it's accentuated on the 2nd and 4th, because of the rhythm guitar.Jamaican musicskarocksteadyrhythm styleoff-beatskank tempoaccentsbeatbar Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement.

However, the lead singer Toots Hibbert says that,Steve BarrowJamaican Toots Hibbert " There's a word we used to use in Jamaica called 'streggae'. If a girl is walking and the guys look at her and say 'Man, she's streggae' it means she don't dress well, she look raggedy. The girls would say that about the men too. This one morning me and my two friends were playing and I said, 'OK man, let's do the reggay.' It was just something that came out of my mouth. So we just started singing 'Do the reggay, do the reggay' and created a beat.
