Reggae music sprang into life in the 70's. It is Jamaica 's blues: a music of both desperation and hope. The 70's were the first time that a third world country had made its voice heard on such a large scale. Instantly recognizable, the reggae sound is a celebration of life itself. Now a new generation of reggae artists has emerged and its fathers are still in Jamaica .

The Dance Hall, emerging from reggae, is drawing large crowds across the globe. At its origin, the Dance Hall concept is heavily influenced by religious overtones. Like rap music, Dance Hall's message is powerful and straightforward, with lyrics about sex, violence, and social issues, including much on women's rights.
