🎙 Explore the evolution of (ROOTS) REGGAE, starting from 1968. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:

✨ **Origins**: The optimism for new and better governance was quickly waning, when Jamaican citizens realized they were not better off with independence than with colonization. During its infancy as a state, Jamaica failed to address the needs of the poor, especially in urban ghettos. These places became the breeding ground for a new, slower type of Rocksteady: “Reggae”. Embedded in the sunny, warm Caribbean climate of Jamaica and influenced by the abundant availability of marihuana, Reggae doesn’t sound as much reactionary as it is. But to this very day it has never ceased to question authority. Reggae exploded in 1972, thanks to both the 10 year anniversary of the country (and thus a decade of failed politics) and the film release of “The Harder They Come”, which made Reggae popular overseas.
🎵 **Highlights**: The bass guitar became Reggae’s leading instrument, which dropped the first beat of a bar, creating the so called “one drop rhythm” which gives Reggae its characteristic offbeat sound. The rhythm staccato guitar moved to the background, but other Ska characteristics were still clearly audible. This Early Reggae eventually got claimed as the subcultural music of the spiritual Rastafari movement. Rastafari is a special Jamaican faith dating back as early as the thirties, which deals about many issues that are also attributed to Reggae: religion, racism, ghetto-life, cannabis use, African roots and more. The term “Roots Reggae” is either reserved for Reggae strongly expressing Rastafari beliefs and issues, or to distinguish the genre from other Jamaican music.
