reggae culture
Rastafarian musical lifestyle
Reggae culture encompasses the lifestyle, values, and artistic expressions that emerged alongside reggae music in Jamaica during the late 1960s.
It is deeply intertwined with Rastafarian spirituality, Pan-African consciousness, and themes of social justice and resistance to oppression.
Elements include distinctive fashion such as red, gold, and green colors and dreadlocks, the ritualized use of cannabis, and a philosophy emphasizing peace, unity, and connection to African heritage.
The festival celebrated reggae culture with music, art, and discussions of Rastafarian beliefs.
