Reggae is the story of Jamaica's Music. Most people would say that Reggae is a genre of music that was developed in the backcountry of Jamaica in the late 1960's. Technically, it didn't really begin in the 1960's, it became popular then. In a sense, Reggae music has actually been around in Jamaica since slavery. When the British colonized Jamaica, the slaves would sing and tap out beats and rythyms any time they got a chance to. Little did they know that their "music" would one day make history as one of the most influential musice styles ever.
