Reggae

Reggae is an African Caribbean style of music developed on the island of Jamaica and is closely linked to the religion Rastafarianism, though not universally popular among its members. The origins of Reggae can be found in traditional African Caribbean music as well as US Rhythm & Blues. Ska and Rocksteady are 1960's precursors of reggae. Bob Marley, who later popularized the style on a world-wide basis, also recorded Rocksteady records early in his career. The style of reggae he made famous is called roots reggae or roots rock reggae, and is still used by many artists such as Black Uhuru, Burning Spear, Culture, Israel Vibrations[?], The Skatalites[?] and Toots and The Maytals[?] from Jamaica and UB40 from the UK.

In Jamaica however, new styles are more popular, among them Lovers Rock, Dancehall and Raggamuffin. Dub is an instrumental sub-style of reggae. Mixing techniques employed in Dub probably influenced Hip hop, Drum and Bass and other styles. In any case, the toasting or dee jaying[?] of raggamuffin reggae - first used by artists such as Dillinger[?] or Yellowman - had a world-wide impact because Jamaican DJ Kool Herc[?] used them as he came up with a new style later called Hip hop or rap music. In the Jamaican sense of the word, a DJ is an MC or rapper, whereas the DJ is called (music) selector in Jamaica. Therefore what is called dee jaying or chatting in Jamaica is called rapping in most other parts of the world.

Patricia flung herself at him in an ecstasy of rapture. "Oh! Captain Jack, you did win! You did win! You did win! It was didn't it work beautifully!" "We were mighty lucky," said Captain Jack. The others, Hugh, Vic and Rupert, crowded round, offering in her eyes, a faint colour touching her pale cheek. Captain Jack quickly, "it was so like the old, the dear old days." Into Maitland's eyes there flashed a look of surprise, of wonder, alone heard. "What do you mean? Then do you--" "Oh, Captain Jack," cried Patricia, catching his arm, "are you I daren't ask! You are such a great hero to-night!" "Why, Patsy, will you give me a dance?" The girl stood gazing at him with eyes that grew misty, the quick hands and laughing joyously into his face. "What about me? And me? And me?" said the other three men. "I suppose we are all nowhere to-night," added Rupert, with a touch Adrien, smiling at them all. "Now I must run off," said Maitland. "You see, I am on duty, as it follow you in a few minutes." "Oh, I am so excited!" said Patricia, as Maitland disappeared down am going to have a perfectly lovely time! But I would give them often as I can," she said, brazenly. .
