Etymology
Reggae comes from Jamaica and was first called that in the 1968 song 'Do the Reggay'; one popular idea is it comes from a local word like raggay meaning 'ragged' or from a sound word rege-rege that copies a loose beat. A helpful way to remember reggae is to think of a loose, 'ragged' pulse, which fits the music's strong, offbeat rhythm.
