"The Reggae Beat"

 

          Compared with rock music, reggae music basically inverted the role of bass and guitar.Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady. If you compare reggae music to most music genres now a days, for example: Rap. Rap can be about anything, from heartbreaks to guns and fighting in the war....Reggae is the same, but its more heartfelt because there is always a war going on in Jamaica and other countries overseas. The beat is what makes it so special and unique because there is no any other beat like it around the globe.

Acoustic Music commonly uses instruments such as guitar which makes it good to hear. Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, and Colbie Caillat are one of the popular acoustic song artists in this generation.
