REGGAE....... 

As Rock music's popularity spread around the world, virtually every nation had its own rock performers. Jamaica produced Reggae music, which is a much-imitated development of Rock. Reggae cross-rhythms are often extremely complex, and Reggae music feature songs about poverty, politics and Rastafarianism, the Jamaica-based religious cult. In the United States, Bob Marley & the Wailers and Toots & the Maytals were the best known of Jamaica's first Reggae bands.
