Reggae

Originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. Defined by offbeat rhythms (skank), bass-heavy grooves, and socially conscious lyrics. Bob Marley brought it to global audiences.

The tags above show the period in which Reggae emerged and is still active (1960s-present) and the typical tempo of its songs in beats per minute (70-90 BPM); individual tracks can fall outside that range. The artists below are a starting point chosen for commercial impact, critical influence or genre-defining work, not a ranking.
