dancehall

Dancehall is a lively genre of Jamaican music that emerged in the late 1970s, characterized by its rhythmic, bass-driven sound and energetic beats. It often features vocal styles ranging from singing to rapping, with lyrics that reflect urban life, social issues, and dance culture. Dancehall is both a musical style and a cultural movement, influencing fashion, dance, and language worldwide. Its production relies on digital instrumentation, giving it a modern, danceable feel, and it has significantly shaped many contemporary genres, including hip-hop and reggaeton.
