• What surprises you.

• Any opinions ...do you think off…

The History of Reggae – listen to the information then arrange the cards

accordingly In the 1930s and 1940s Mento and Calypso were two popular forms of

music in Jamaica and the West Indies

In the 1950s, American Jazz and Rhythm and Blues [R & B] became the

most popular style of music in Jamaica

This was a time of great change, when what had been mostly rural

population began to move towards the cities, in particular the capital,

Kingston, in search of work.

At this time, people would gather to listen to music on sound systems

which were like a large mobile disco. Few people could afford their own

record player or radio so this was the way they were able to listen to music.

In the late 1950s and 1960s, a new style of music emerged called Ska, which combined elements of Mento, Calypso and R & B, American Jazz,

Blues and Swing music.

In the mid 1960s a more soulful style of music had become popular called Rocksteady. This was similar to Ska

although the vocals were more important than the instrumentals and

the lyrics were about peoples’ lives and experiences.

Rocksteady gave way to the new sound of Reggae in the late 1960s.

his contribution to Reggae music.
