It is a style of music that is heavily influenced by traditional African and Caribbean music, as well as American jazz and blues. Reggae is characterized by its heavy use of the offbeat, syncopated rhythms and its distinctive bass lines. Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which is a spiritual and political movement that originated in Jamaica in the 1930s. Reggae is also known for its socially conscious lyrics, which often address topics such as poverty, racism, and social injustice.
