Rock Steady is a genre of Jamaican popular music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is a slower, more relaxed style of reggae than its predecessor, ska, and is characterized by its heavy use of offbeat rhythms and syncopation. The instrumentation typically includes electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, and keyboards, as well as horns and other brass instruments. The lyrics often focus on themes of love, relationships, and social issues. Rock Steady is considered to be the bridge between ska and reggae, and is credited with helping to popularize reggae music around the world.
