Description
Jamaican music encompasses the island's rich musical traditions, including reggae, ska, dancehall, and dub, characterized by offbeat rhythms, heavy bass, and socially conscious lyrics. Rooted in African and Caribbean influences, these genres emerged from Kingston's sound system culture and Rastafarian spirituality. The music's syncopated grooves and laid-back yet powerful energy have profoundly influenced global popular music.
