Jamaican rhythm meets guitars
Reggae-rock blends the offbeat rhythms and bass-heavy grooves of Jamaican reggae with the guitars and energy of rock music.
The fusion emerged in the late 1970s with bands like The Police and has continued through groups like Sublime and 311: Their reggae-rock sound dominated college radio in the nineties.
