Reggae is a term that was coined sometime close to 1960.

History of Reggae - The Reggaskas

Derived from rege-rege, a Jamaican phrase meaning “rags or ragged clothing,” it is used to denote a raggedy style of music that grew up in Jamaica around that time. Reggae is a genre of music that has its roots in a number of other musical styles. It incorporates influences from Jamaican music (both traditional Mento and contemporary Ska), as well as American Rhythm & Blues, which was broadcast from high-powered stations in New Orleans and Florida in the early days of radio, and could be easily picked up in Jamaica. Reggae’s closest musical relations are Ska and Rocksteady, popular in Jamaica during the 1950s and early 1960s. Reggae evolved from these other genres, really coming into its own later that decade. Jah Cure - Life We Live (video+lyrics) Lyrics to Life We Live by Jah Cure Every time you take one step Something pulls you back But you get back up each time you fall (aye) Wicked people and bad mind Lurking in the dark But I have no fear I walk with Jah (aye) Turn the world off And turn the music on Just light up another one Relax and just close your eyes (oh ooh) Natural mystic is in the air Bob Marley says have no fear Everything is going to be alright Some days you’re up and some you’re down Weak today, tomorrow strong Some you’ll lose and some you’re going to win (aye) That’s the life the life the life the life we live The life the life we live (wooo wooo wooo)
