Reggae is a chatty pet bird robot that dr. Wily created for himself. In mega man gigamix , wily gives reggae to mega man to act as a spy and cause trouble, but he is broken into pieces by break man. Later, reggae is rebuilt and often appears alongside dr. Wily, usually repeating some of wily's quotes or making noises, making him get on the bad side of almost everyone he met. Due to this, wily sworn to himself that he will make as many modifications as necessary to make his sidekick more likeable. Reggae rarely fights, but it was shown he and wily are able to defeat beat with few attacks.

Origins of reggae share reggae is a music genre first developed in jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular jamaican dance music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that evolved out of the earlier genres like ska and rocksteady. Bob marley is said to have claimed that the word reggae came from a spanish term for "the king's music". The liner notes of to the king, a compilation of christian gospel reggae, suggest that the word reggae was derived from the latin regi meaning "to the king".

But one form of music which emanated from just one island in the caribbean became massive worldwide: reggae music. It is everywhere, whether you notice it or not.

Having originated within a cultural space that was home to marginalized groups, mainly in western kingston, the reggae music of jamaica is an amalgam of numerous musical influences, including earlier jamaican forms as well as caribbean, north american and latin strains. In time, neo-african styles, soul and rhythm and blues from north america were incorporated into the element, gradually transforming ska into rock steady and then into reggae. While in its embryonic state reggae music was the voice of the marginalized, the music is now played and embraced by a wide cross-section of society, including various genders, ethnic and religious groups. Its contribution to international discourse on issues of injustice, resistance, love and humanity underscores the dynamics of the element as being at once cerebral, socio-political, sensual and spiritual. The basic social functions of the music – as a vehicle for social commentary, a cathartic practice, and a means of praising god – have not changed, and the music continues to act as a voice for all. Students are taught how to play the music in schools from early childhood to the tertiary level, and reggae festivals and concerts such as reggae sumfest and reggae salute provide annual outlets, as well as an opportunity for understudy and transmission for upcoming artists, musicians and other practitioners.

Uprising would be the final studio album featuring bob marley & the wailers to be released during marley 's lifetime. Prophetically, it also contains some of the band's finest crafted material, as if they were cognizant that this would be their final outing. The album's blend of religious and secular themes likewise creates a very powerful and singular quest for spirituality in a material world. Although it is argued that an album's graphic design rarely captures the essence of the work inside, the powerful rebirthing image of a rock solid marley emerging with his arms raised in triumph could not be a more accurate visual description of the musical jubilation within. Musically, the somewhat staid rhythms often synonymous with reggae have been completely turned around to include slinky and liquid syncopation. "work," "pimper's paradise," and the lead-off track "coming in from the cold" are all significant variations on the lolloping rasta beat. The major difference is the sonic textures that manipulate and fill those patterns. The inventive and unique guitar work of al anderson -- the only american member of the original wailers -- once again redefines the role of the lead electric guitar outside of its standard rock & roll setting. "zion train" is awash in wah-wah-driven patterns creating an eerie, almost ethereal backdrop against marley 's lyrics, which recollect images from peter tosh 's "stop that train" all the way back on marley & the wailers ' international debut catch a fire. The final track on the original pressing of uprising is "redemption song. " never has an artist unknowingly written such a beautiful and apropos living epitaph. The stark contrast from the decidedly electric and group-oriented album to this hauntingly beautiful solo acoustic composition is as dramatic as it is visionary. Less than a year after the release of uprising , marley would succumb to cancer. The 2001 "definitive remaster" version of uprising contains the band version of "redemption song" and the 12" mix of "could you be loved. ".
Dressed up in a costly flip-top zippo lighter sleeve, this first international wailers release was part of blackwell’s campaign to stop his island’s reggae music from being filed under novelty records. He scored big when the three “dutty rastas†who walked like lions duly delivered this knockout fiery and majestic recording. It would make these local heroes the darlings of musical cognoscenti everywhere that dug rock, but craved the wailers’ injection of personality, offbeat rhythm and pan-african authenticity.

For the march, 2005 issue of high times, fred schruers looked back on the life of bob marley (1945-1981). In honor of marley’s birthday february 6, we’re republishing the story below. In the early summer of 1980, bob marley and the wailers were almost midway through an extensive world tour that would take them from libreville, gabon to, unevocatively enough, pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Or unevocative pittsburgh would seem were it not now recognizable as the last venue where bob marley ever took the stage. But that june, when my editor at rolling stone assigned me to join the band on a leg of their european tour, all seemed well. In fact, with the uprising album having been recorded between early january concert dates in gabon and two legendary mid-april dates in zimbabwe, it looked to be a propitious moment in an epochal career as bob brought his political message to an increasingly-involved and enthusiastically-widening public. He’d also visit brazil that spring, hoping to tour later with jacob miller and inner circle—until miller’s untimely death in march that year, which left bob alone (not to dismiss the rapturous and soulful work of toots and the maytals), at the summit of reggae music.

Nationality: jamaica executive summary: no woman no cry the first reggae performer to achieve a world-wide audience -- as well as being a significant cultural figure -- robert nesta marley was born in nine miles, a small village located in the north jamaican parish of st. Ann. His father norval marley was jamaican-born but of british decent, having returned to the island following several decades of service in the british army and married cedella booker, an 18-year old native jamaican woman. Bob's father provided financial support for his family, but had a minimal presence in his son's life as a result of his frequent traveling; this support ended in 1955, however, when norval died of a heart attack, forcing bob and his mother to relocate from rural nine miles to the dangerous trench town slums of kingston. It was here that he became active in music, inspired both by american r&b and the unique styles developing in kingston.
Jamaican music goes mainstream
Reggae is a music unique to jamiaca, but it ironically has its roots in new orleans r&b. Reggae's direct forefather is ska, an uptempo, rhythmic variation based on the new orleans r&b jamaican musicians heard broadcast from the us on their transistor radios. Relying on skittering guitar and syncopated rhythms, ska was their interpretation of r&b and it was quite popular in the early '60s. However, during one very hot summer, it was too hot to either play or dance to ska, so the beat was slowed down and reggae was born. Since then, reggae has proven to be as versatile as the blues, as it lends itself to a number of interpretations, from the melodic rock steady of alton ellis and the rock and folk-influenced songwriting of bob marley to the trippy, near-psychedelic soundscapes of dub artists like lee "scratch" perry. It has crossed into the mainstream through the bright, bouncy "reggae sunsplash" festivals and pop-oriented bands like ub40, but more adventurous reggae artists, such as marley and perry, have influenced countless reggae, folk, rock and dance artists. Their contributions resonate throughout popular music.
Reggae around the world
The two looks represented the different worlds inhabited by young white and black britain, worlds which a year previously had been remote from each other but which by the summer of 1977 were unexpectedly and often uncomfortably rubbing shoulders. At hackney town hall, under portraits of whiskery victorian aldermen, i watched the cimarons chant down babylon while generation x snarled their way through "wild youth". In brixton, i gaped as the slits, the acme of unruliness, shared a stage with birmingham's steel pulse, the most militant of britain's proliferating reggae bands.
