"Reggae. The word conjures images of Jamaica, Rastafarianism, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Beenie Man, Sly and Robbie. The music has influenced a wide range of genres — everything from jam bands to hip hop to ska.
Sean Paul, Wayne Wonder and an assortment of other artists have made dancehall — a variant
of danceable reggae that includes a DJ rap — a current popular phenomenon. They have older reggae to thank for bringing reggae into the music scene"
