4. Reggae
Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in
the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broad sense
to refer to most types of popular Jamaican dance, the
term reggae more properly denotes a particular music
style that was strongly influenced by traditional
Mento and calypso music, as well as
American jazz and rhythm and blues, and evolved out
of the earlier genres ska and rock steady.

without a

8. The location
As it can be seen
that the setting for
this music video
was done in a live
situation without
any special effects
or such. There is a
stage and an
audience and
everything is made
live.

9. The make-up
The long-hair or dreads are part
of the Jamaican customs, they
symbolizes equality and every
Rastafarian has dreads.
They provide a more free and
open feel to the music and the
player of the music. Without the
worries of what the world would
think about them one can truly
be happy.
