Answer 2

The word -Reggae- was created and coined in the tenement yard in Trench Town by Ras Cardo ( Ricardo A. Scott) in 1962. This is a poor ghetto area of west Kingston in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. He has the copyrighted materials as the proof from the Library of Congress in the USA.

Many have reported falsely that "No one knows where the word came from" and they have still not yet caught on the truth and facts that Ras Cardo has the incontrovertible proof.

He has been a Mentor and friend to Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Joe Higgs, since those days. No one today has the detailed history of Reggae that he has in his archives. He is regarded as the worlds Reggae historian, and social documentarian and has written extensively on Reggae , rastafari, radiology, Jamaica and other social issues. Some dictionaries and books of etymology have yet to caught on to his creation. Ras Cardo has the detailed facts. Go to www.xlibris.com/ricardoscott.html GET THE TRUTH THAT ONLY RAS CARDO HAS.

Answer 4

The first Jamaican recording studio opened in 1951 and recorded "mento" music, a fusion of European and African folk dance music. The island was awash in rhythm'n'blues records imported by the so called "sound systems", eccentric traveling dance-halls run by no less eccentric disc-jockeys such as Clement Dodd (the "Downbeat") and Duke Reid (the "Trojan"). The poor people of the Jamaican ghettos, who could not afford to hire a band for their parties, had to content themselves with these "sound systems". The "selectors", the Jamaican disc-jockeys who operated those sound systems, became the real entertainers. The selector would spin the records and would "toast" over them. The art of "toasting", that usually consisted in rhyming vocal patterns and soon evolved in social commentary, became as important as the music that was being played.
