Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s.
While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of
Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular
music style that originated following on the development of ska and
rocksteady.

Reggae is based on a rhythmic style characterized by accents
on the off-beat, known as the skank. Reggae is normally slower than
ska but faster than rocksteady. Reggae usually accents the second and
fourth beat in each bar, with the rhythm guitar also either emphasising
the third beat or holding the chord on the second beat until the fourth is played. It is mainly this "third beat", its speed and the use of complex bass lines that differentiated reggae from rocksteady, although later styles incorporated these innovations separately.
