Reggae is a music genre first developed in #Jamaica in the late #1960s. While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular #Jamaican #dance music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that evolved out of the earlier genres like Ska and Rocksteady.

#Bob Marley is said to have claimed that the word reggae came from a Spanish term for "the king's music". The liner notes of To the King, a compilation of Christian gospel Reggae, suggest that the word reggae was derived from the Latin regi meaning "to the king". The shift from Rocksteady to reggae was illustrated by the organ shuffle pioneered by Jamaican musicians like Jackie Mittoo and Winston Wright and featured in transitional singles Say What You're Saying (1967) by Clancy Eccles and People Funny Boy (1968) by Lee "Scratch" Perry. The Pioneers' 1968 track Long Shot (Bus' Me Bet) has been identified as the earliest recorded example of the new rhythm sound that became known as #Reggae.

After World War II, Jamaicans purchased radios in increasing numbers and were able to hear rhythm and blues music from Southern United States cities such as New Orleans by artists such as Fats Domino and Louis Jordan. Domino's rhythm, accentuating the offbeat as in the song "Be My Guest", was a particular influence. The stationing of American military forces during and after the war meant that Jamaicans could listen to military broadcasts of American music, and there was a constant influx of records from the United States. To meet the demand for that music, entrepreneurs such as Prince Buster, Coxsone Dodd, and Duke Reid formed sound systems.

Max Romeo (born Maxwell Livingston Smith, 22 November #1944] is a #Jamaican #reggae and roots reggae recording artist who has achieved chart success in his home country and in the United Kingdom. #Romeo had several hits with the vocal group the Emotions. His song "Wet Dream" (1968) included overtly sexual lyrics and launched a new style of #reggae. Born in St. D'Acre, St. Ann, #Jamaica, Romeo left home at the age of 14 and worked on a sugar plantation outside Clarendon, before winning a local talent competition when he was 18. This prompted a move to the capital, #Kingston, in order to embark on a #musical career

Some of the following information about Plato and his NDE testimony about the soldier named Er are excerpts from Lee W. Bailey and Jenny Yates wonderful book, The Near-Death Experience: A Reader. Reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) are not a new phenomenon. Many NDEs have been reported for over the last two thousand years. Ancient religious texts such as the New Testament (367 AD), the Quran (632 AD), and the Tibetan Book of the Dead (1386 AD), for example, describe experiences of life after death which remarkably resemble modern NDEs. The oldest surviving explicit report of an NDE in Western literature comes from the famed Greek philosopher, Plato, who described an event, the "Myth of Er," in the tenth book of his legendary book entitled Republic written in 380 BC. The Myth of Er is a legend that concluded Plato's Republic which includes an account of the cosmos and the afterlife that greatly influenced religious, philosophical, and scientific thought for many centuries. The story begins as a man named Er, son of Armenios of Pamphylia, who died in battle.

We believe that for a healthy mom with a low-risk pregnancy, home is a great place to have your baby. Not only do you not have to travel while your are in labor, but you do not have to get up to go home after your birth, or have the commotion of a hospital going on around you.  You are in your home, where you are the most comfortable and in charge. You have taken responsibility for your care and are the one directing the birth. And your baby is born into her own bacterial environment.ert Advice Home

If you're a healthy expectant mother having a normal pregnancy and you have no medical or obstetrical risk factors, giving birth at home may be an option for you.Giving birth at home allows you to labor and deliver in familiar and comfortable surroundings. You'll have more control over your birth experience than you would in a hospital, and you won't have to endure routine medical interventions.

Nyabinghi, also Nyahbinghi, Niyabinghi, Niyahbinghi, is the gathering of Rastafari people to celebrate and commemorate key dates significant to Rastafari throughout the year. It is essentially an opportunity for the Rastafari to congregate and engage in praise and worship. For example, on July 23rd of each year, a Nyabinghi is held to celebrate the birth of His Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I. During Nyabinghi celebration men and women have different roles and expectations. Men are expected to remove any hair coverings, whilst women must keep their hair covered. A group of men typically organize themselves in a line or semi-circle and are assigned to beat the drums throughout. The remaining congregation continues to sing well-known songs or 'chants', some of which are Hebraic scriptural verses that evidence the divinity of Haile Selassie. For example, 'I have a little light in I and I'm going to make it shine, Rastafari, shine' and 'Holy Mount #Zion is a holy place and no sinners can enter there, so let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, of Rastafari'. #Nyabinghi is a Rastafari tradition that promotes Rastafari unity, strengthens the Rastafari spirit with fellowship and raises the consciousness and presence of #Rastafari in the heart of those in attendance. At some points, passages of the bible are read. Rastafari recognizes the significance of Jesus Christ, due to Haile #Selassie I fulfilling the teachings and prophecy of scripture.

In the late #1950’s, Jamaican musicians began to incorporate American #R&B sounds into mento, and the hybrid form stabilized on using the same syncopated structure with an even stronger off-beat chord known as the skank (bonus info for music theorists: the skank in #ska is nearly always a major chord, while in #reggae it’s generally a minor chord). Typical instrumentation was a #guitar, a bass (sometimes a bass guitar, but just as often a concert bass), drum, saxophone, trumpet, and trombone: still the core ska band today, although some bands have much larger horn sections. Many of the musicians of this era are familiar today as reggae and rocksteady musicians: #BobMarley probably being the most famous to American audiences, with names such as #TootsHibbert (reputed to have actually invented reggae) and Desmond Dekker still having some familiarity.
