What was the first reggae song ever made?

Technically speaking, reggae (like it sounds in the "One Drop Style" from the 1970s until today) is one of many styles used in rocksteady from 1968 to create variety. It is difficult to determine which rocksteady song that was the first to sound like reggae, with the off beats created with interaction between the skank from the rhythm guitar and the one drop beat on the drum. So many vinyl singles were released without printing the year on the label. But the year 1968 is printed on Larry & Alvins "Nanny Goat", in Bob Andys "Unchained", in Eric 'Monty' Morri's "Say What You're Saying" - all of them reggae songs. In a live interview Larry Marshall mention himself and Burning Spear making the first reggae songs (the reggae riddim in rocksteady) in January - april 1968. On the other hand, many songs 1968-1971 were called "reggae" or "skinhead reggae", or "primitive reggae" but these songs were not technically reggae - only songs with a aimless drumming to the intensive use of rhythm guitar.

What is Caribbean Ragga music?

Reggae is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady.Reggae is based on a rhythmic style characterized by accents on the off-beat, known as the skank. Reggae is normally slower than both ska and rocksteady.[1] Reggae usually accents the second and fourth beat in each bar, with the rhythm guitar also either emphasizing the third beat or holding the chord on the second beat until the fourth is played. It is mainly this "third beat", its speed and the use of complex bass lines that differentiated reggae from rocksteady, although later styles incorporated these innovations separately.hopefully im right!!
