Reggae #music is one of Jamaica's most distinctive and influential cultural exports. It emerged in the late #1960s as a fusion of ska, rocksteady, and Rastafarianism, and soon became a global phenomenon that inspired countless artists and genres. Some of the greatest reggae hits from the past are songs that reflect the social, political, and spiritual realities of #Jamaica, as well as the joy and resilience of its people. These songs include Bob #Marley's "One Love", which is a universal anthem of peace and unity; #Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come", which is a defiant statement of survival and resistance; Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey", which is a tribute to the national hero and pan-Africanist leader; and Toots and the Maytals' "Sweet and Dandy", which is a celebration of rural life and culture. These songs and many others have shaped the history and identity of Jamaica, and have influenced generations of musicians and listeners around the world.
