Reggae (/ ˈ r ɛ ɡ eɪ /) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica during the late 1960s. The term also denotes the modern popular music of Jamaica and its diaspora. [1] A 1968 single by Toots and the Maytals, "Do the Reggay", was the first popular song to use the word reggae, effectively naming the genre and introducing it to a global audience.
A variation was recorded featuring the sax of Val Bennett (entitled "Tons of Gold"), but the Hippy Boys' original instrumental had the most success. [3]The Staple Singers used the bass line and introduction from "Liquidator" for their 1972 hit "I'll Take You There".

Nowadays, seggae artists tend to slow down the bpm to give the music a more heavy and soulful touch.
