Did Chinese people help create Reggae music in Jamaica?

Reggae is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. The term also denotes the modern popular music of Jamaica and its diaspora. A 1968 single by Toots and the Maytals, "Do the Reggay", was the first popular song to use the word reggae, effectively naming the genre and introducing it to a global audience. Jamaican reggae music evolved out of the earlier genres mento, ska and rocksteady.

History Lesson on Reggae: Ska (/skɑː/; Jamaican Creole: skia, [skjæ]) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae.[1] It combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. Ska is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the off beat. It was developed in Jamaica in the 1960s when Stranger Cole, Prince Buster, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, and Duke Reid formed sound systems to play American rhythm and blues and then began recording their own songs.[2] In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods and with many skinheads.

​@TyroneGladden , just like Jews are the silent partners in advancing hip hop, Chinese Jamaican like Byron Lee and the Chins have been influential in the creation and advancement of Reggae Music. Next we are going to hear David Rodigan created sound clash and dubplate specials....😅😅 Chinese are no more a creator than a white Blackwell who formed Island record, and become one the most influential, that word again, to the advancement of Reggae Music. Ghetto or Urban Music has always suffer from the lack of funding, and in all cases here goes the business man with his capital and zero experience of the product but sees a venture that will turn a profit. The problem with these conversation or topics are the broad brush approach instead of looking where those contributions were and are being made. For the record. No Jamaican sees Byron Lee, Chin of VP, Butch Stewart, the Azans, the Mafood, and all the others as nothing but Jamaicans regardless. They are first and second generation immigrants making up 8% of.. Out of Many One People. Before making general statement and waxing about such deep subject. Do a deep dive into the role these people play in the development of the music.

Reggae music was created by the descendants of the Maroons and Nyabinghi. The rhythms of the Nyabinghi chants and drumming is what gave influence to what became Reggae Music. Along with the mixture of the Chinese and Indo-Jamaicans (India Indians), they had a major influence on the culture. Hinduism and Coptic Christianity had a major influence in Rastafarianism, but it's creation is from the Nyabinghi mansion of the Maroons.

Owning the peripherals does not mean only they, and no one else, could have hey created the cultural asset. This is like saying the enslaved could not have invented anything because they lived on the plantation. Love you Mr. Star but this one is so off key I can't listen to the rest of the vid.

The roots of reggae is the Kaita drums not guitar last time I checked the kaita drums came from west Africa came to Jamaica in the heart and mind of Africans

[@seonlewis6463]

Raggae has its roots in calypso going back to brayan lee and the dragoners...

[@TyroneGladden]

They created Reggae

[@owenallen8086]

REGGAE HAS IT'S ROOTS IN AFRICA ,BECAUSE JAMAICANS ARE AFRICAN.

I think a lot of us are applying American racial standards to this situation. Chinese people didn’t create or help create reggae music, Chinese Jamaicans did.

Cabbage, Rice and Peas was brought to Jamaica!

[@TyroneGladden]

Rice wasn’t the staple before Chinese arrived. Even here in America either comes from Asia or Europe its origin

They help to distribute Reggae. They did not create it. Stop with your bullshit!!

shoutOUt to MightyCrown..Wicked Japanese DJ in Jamaica.. they had production and it was a racist vibe back then so they helped get it outdere. but "create" is a strong word cuz reggae is a music of the people of pain and truth.. stuff they couldnt really tap into at that time..but they helped get it recognized.

[@Kurtiskase00]

Mighty crown are not Chinese they are Japanese and they were not born in Jamaica, they are Japanese

[@bladesmith930]

There should be no separation of Chinese from Jamaican those descendants of the Hakka Chinese are Jamaicans as they were born there just like how those of African descent who were born there are Jamaicans. There are also Indian Jamaicans and others. Those of Indian descent have a large footprint in the food culture, those of Chinese descent have a large footprint in both the food and music industries just like those of African descent. So yes Chinese Jamaicans contribution to reggae and dancehall soca is largely overlooked by the media but many Jamaicans on the island of the baby boomers era know of their contribution .

You are where your bloodline is from!! If you are a generation anything that means you are where your generation comes from. If your family immigrated from another country than you are not American or from the country they immigrated to! I'm an FBA OUTSIDE MY HOME AND I AM A FBA INSIDE MY HOME! I HAVE NO FAMILY IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY AND ALL THE FOOD I EAT IS SOUL FOOD! I ONLY HAVE AN FBA CULTURE AND MY PEOPLE LINEAGE CAME FROM THIS NORTH AMERICAN DIRT AND IT CAN'T BE TRACED BACK TO ANY OTHER COUNTRY! IM A REAL AMERICAN AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE ONE! JAMAICANS AND FOREIGNERS SAY THEIR KIDS THAT ARE BORN HERE ARE AMERICAN SO THEY CAN TRY TO HAVE SOME TIES TO OUR LAND BUT IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! TRY GOING TO JAPAN AND HAVE YOUR BLACK BABIES THERE AND TELL THEM THAT THEY ARE JAPANESE 😂YOU ARE NOT APART OF THAT JAPANESE BLOODLINE AND THAT BLOODLINE IS APART OF THAT LAND SO YOU WON'T BE THE SAME AS THEM AND YOU WILL NEVER BE!ALSO CHINA CREATED REGGAE! ALSO IF RITA MARLEY WAS BORN IN CUBA,IS SHE A CUBAN OR DID HER PARENTS JUST HAVE HER THERE! IS SHE NOT A JAMAICAN? SHOULD CUBA SAY THEY HELPED CREATE REGGAE BECAUSE RITA MARLEY IS A CUBAN!😂😂
