Reggae may be used in a broad sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, including ska, rocksteady and dub.The term is generally used to distinguish a particular style that originated in the late 1960s.
Reggae is founded upon a rhythm style which is characterized by regular chops on the back beat, known as the "skank", played by a rhythm guitarist, and a bass drum hitting on the third beat of each measure, known as "one drop." Characteristically, this beat is slower than in reggae's precursors, ska and rocksteady.
Reggae is often associated with the Rastafari movement, which influenced many prominent reggaemusicians in the 1970s and 1980s.
SočaReggaeRiversplash is a music festival in Tolmin, Slovenia at the confluence of the Soča and the Tolminka rivers, dedicated mainly to reggaemusic and to international musicians.
