Reggae originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s, incorporating elements of mento, ska, and rocksteady. It was influenced by genres like calypso, R&B, and jazz. Sound systems played a key role in its development and popularity. Artists like Prince Buster and Coxsone Dodd produced early reggae hits and helped establish the genre. Ska preceded rocksteady and had a distinctive upbeat sound featuring horns and vocals. Rocksteady featured slower tempos, electric bass, and organ. True reggae emerged in the late 1960s with elements of Rastafari and faster tempos. The instrumentation included drums, bass guitar, keyboards, horns, and vocal harmonies. Legendary artist Bob Marley

introduction some Mento elements in to the R+B music by stretching off-beats.
This concept was adapted and developed by Coxsone where he wanted to take things further by putting greater distance between homegrown and
imported music. He called a meeting with Ernie Ranglin, and bass player Cluett Johnson.
(Coxsone) deliberately wanted to keep the R and B shuffle beat, but he moved the stress to the afterbeat –the second and fourth beats – to such a
degree that it turned the arrangement around. ….People used to call in to stress it even more, and this off-beat become the focus of all Jamaican
music that followed on after it.’

skank to add to the momentum of a given rhythm. Most common
Reggae keyboards are the Hammond Organ, Rhodes and
Clavinet, The key to playing the bubble is the rhythm. While the
guitar or the keyboard player’s right hand is playing on beats two
and four, the keyboard player’s left hand will be playing on all the
up-beats, playing what is known as the “bubble”.
