Reggae Dancehall

Reggae Dancehall is a vibrant genre of music that originated in Jamaica in the late 1970s. It combines the rhythmic reggae foundation with faster-paced beats, energetic melodies, and often features catchy, lyrical vocal styles known as “toasting” or "toast." Dancehall emphasizes danceable rhythms and is closely associated with lively club scenes and street culture. Its diverse influences include Caribbean, hip-hop, and electronic music, making it a dynamic and influential style worldwide. The genre also reflects social and cultural themes, blending melodic relaxation with dance-floor energy.
