What does the word “REGGAE” mean?
How did the word come about?
BOB MARLEY
Bob Marley is said to have claimed that the
word reggae came from a Spanish
term for "the king's music". 
The liner notes that The liner notes of To
the King, a compilation of Christian
gospel Reggae, suggest that the

Latin regi meaning "to the king".

BUNNY LEE
Bunny Lee claims to have been there from the
beginning and he and his team came up with
the word reggae in 1968,and that reggae came
from the word streggae.
Streggae(Jamaican slang) means ragged or
unkempt.
"I was there from the beginning; we gave the
music the name reggae in 1968. It came from
the word 'streggae': another way to describe a
prostitute. But it didn't take off because the
radios wouldn't play it, so we changed it to
reggae."

Reggae music, its

foundation
Mento
• Jamaican music that is largely unknown outside of that is the
grandpappy of reggae. For a ska or reggae fans, mento
sounds familiar and exotic and unfamiliar
• It was also made of  pan-Caribbean influences, as well as from
American jazz. Although it was informed by a world of music,
mento is clearly, uniquely Jamaican. And as Jamaica's original
music, all other Jamaican music can trace its roots to mento.
• It features acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitar,
banjo, hand drums and the rhumba box.(carries bass part of
the music.
• Similar to calypso it uses tropical lyrics, humorous slant,
commenting on poverty and social issues of the Caribbean
with a sprinkle of sexual innuendos being commonly used.
