Reggae

"Reggae" came into focus in Jamaica in 1968 as a stage in a continuum of musical styles
after ska and rock steady. These were the first locally originated music forms in post-
independence Jamaica. The previously distinct colonial-era Jamaican music was known as
mento, which evolved from the music of 19th century French set dance called quadrille,
which was popular among the English ruling class in Jamaica. Mento emerged as the "fifth
figure" of quadrille and has an important connection to reggae, specifically the rhythm
pattern strummed on the banjo in mento. The reintroduction of this rhythmic pattern helped
move rocksteady into a new identity as reggae. "Reggae" was initially spelled "reggay"
when it appeared on records. Singer Toots Hibbert (of the Maytals) has explained the term
reggay was an adaptation of 'streggay,' a derogatory reference to women. The drummer Leroy
Horsemouth Wallace has said the term was adapted from musician Alva Reggie Lewis's style
of rhythm guitar.
