Reggae

Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the mid-1960s. Although sometimes the term is used broadly to refer to different styles of Jamaican music, by reggae strictly means a specific musical genre that originated as earlier as development of other ska and rocksteady.

Normally,reggae time is slower than the ska and reggae usually accentuate rocksteady.1 The second and fourth beat of each bar, serving the guitar to put emphasis on either the third pulse or to keep the chord from the second through fourth. It is usually this "third beat", both for speed and for the use of complex bass lines that differentiates reggae rocksteady.
Etymology
The 1977 edition of the Dictionaryof Jamaican English included "reggae" as "a newly established expression for rege", equivalent to rege-rege, a word that could mean either "rags, ragged clothing" as "a fight or quarrel" 2 The term reggae music with a sense both Desmond Dekker appeared (famous Jamaican artist Bob Marley before) and the 1968 rocksteady hit "Do the Reggay" by The Maytals, but already used in Kingston, Jamaica, toname a form slower rocksteady.3 dancing and playing reggae artist Derrick Morgan stated in this regard:
We did not like the name rock steady, so I tried different versions of "Fat Man". It changed the rhythm, the body was used to surprise. A Bunny Lee, the producer, liked. He created the sound with the organ and the rhythm guitar. It sounded like 'reggae, reggae' and that name just took off. BunnyLee started using the word (sic) and soon all the musicians were saying 'reggae, reggae, reggae' 4
The reggae historian Steve Barrow Clancy Eccles attributed to the alteration of the term patois streggae (loose woman), making reggae.5 But according Toots Hibbert:
There is a word we used to use in Jamaica called 'streggae'. If a girl goes and the kids look at it and say 'uncle, she is"streggae"', that means you did not see well, you see reggay (ragged). The girls would say the same of a man too. This morning me and some friends were playing and I said, 'OK man, let the reggay'. It was just something that popped into my head. So we started singing 'do the reggay, do the reggay' (make reggay, make the reggay) and created a beat. People told me later that we had given the sound its name.Before that people called it blue-beat and all kind of names. It is now in the Guinness Book of Records.6
Bob Marley is said to have attributed the origin of the word as a term of Castilian reggae to refer to the "music of the King" 7
