28. Reggae Reggae is a genre of music from Jamaica. It combines Jamaican music with R&B (which they learned from Miami & New Orleans radio stations). Reggae has a heavy back-beat on beats 2 & 4. Its lyrics often reflect the beliefs & traditions of Rastafarianism. Lyrics also incorporate a lot of Jamaican slang. Many believe that Reggae is the predecessor to hip hop and rap. Best Reggae artist of all time: Bob Marley.

29. Bob Marley Born Robert Nesta Marley (nickname “Bob Marley”). 1945 in Saint Ann, Jamaica. Father—white Englishman, Mother— black Jamaican. Father died. Moved to Kensington, where he met his friend Bunny Wailer. Together they learned to play music. Dropped out of school—age 14 to study welding. Started a group called “Bob Marley & The Wailers.” Included him, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh After marriage, he converted to a new religion called Rastafarian. This was when he began growing his signature dreadlocks to show his devout faith. – Premise: European colonization was bad. As long as black remained outside of Africa, they would have the “slave mentality.” It encouraged black to return to Africa in order to be truly “free.” This religion also required ritual smoking (Ganja). By smoking, they believed it brought them closer to God, and made their minds more open-minded to receive His spirit. Even though his group broke up, Bob Marley continued to tour. His first big hit was “No Woman, No Cry.” (1975) He spent most of the 70s trying to promote peace & cultural understanding for Jamaica—despite being shot (along with his wife and manager, who also survived). Was revered as a prophet, a cultural, and political figurehead. Died of cancer (found on his toe, and spread) in 1981. Wanted to die in Jamaica, but died in Miami, FL. Best songs: – ONE LOVE (This song is Marley's call for mankind to unify and respect one another. He sings the familiar lyric, "Let's get together and feel all right) – BUFFALO SOLDIER. (Political song: It tells the story of Africans enslaved by the United States after the Civil War and forced to go to battle against Native Americans. Sample lyrics: "Buffalo Soldier, in the heart of America, stolen from Africa, brought to America, fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.“ – NO WOMAN, NO CRY - This song begins, "Cause I remember when we used to sit in the government yard in Trenchtown," which refers to the extremely poor area of Kingston, Jamaica, where Marley moved with his mother and lived for many years. – GET UP, STAND UP.

Eventually they composed groups of rhyming words over the music This song was recorded in 1 session, and in 1 take. It is originally 14 min 37 sec long. Hip hop now appealed to new, wider audience.
