Reggae origin

Reggae developed from ska and rocksteady in the 1960s. American R&B also influenced it.Toots Hibbert named it Reggae.The earliest Reggae lyrics were generally about love, specifically romantic love between a man and a woman. In the 1970s, Reggae started taking on a heavy Rastafarian influence.

Reggae Lovers

The love sang in Reggae was not just romantic, but cosmic and spiritual, the love of a person and Jah (the Rastafarian name of God). When Reggae singers are not singing about love, they're singing about revolution against extreme violence, poverty, racism, and government oppression.
