Reggae The history of it How it is presented today and How we could use it for my music video

Reggae was is a music genre that began in Jamaica in the late 1960s, most music in Jamaica comes from a reggae style. The music has regular chops on the back beat. These are called skank and are played by a rhythm guitarist. The bass drum hits on the second and fourth beat of each bar there can also be a keyboard a organ and horns. When people think of reggae they speak of Bob Marley he is was the face of reggae with timeless songs such as buffalo soldier and I shot the sherif. People listen to reggae songs as they are relaxing the smooth calm beat lets you chill out with very light lyrics.


Reggae music could be a possibility for a our music video as the music can easily be done on a computer and the lyrics would not be as hard to write as rap for example.
