International Reggae Day

Every year on July 1st, International Reggae Day commemorates reggae music and its influence on Jamaican music.

Reggae originated in the 1960s and has developed into a common style of music. Reggae music is an integral part of Jamaica's heritage, with roots in Jamaica. It's a blend of rhythm & blues, calypso, African, and Latin American music.

Reggae music is characterized by a strong four-beat rhythm. Drums, congas, bass guitars, and electric guitars are all used to create these beats. The scraper is another common instrument in reggae music. A scraper is a corrugated stick that the musician rubs with a plain stick.

Reggae music became well-known around the world by the 1970s. The style of music was particularly popular in the United States, Great Britain, and Africa. Many people believe that reggae music acts as a voice for the oppressed.
