In the late 1960s Jamaican reggae emerged as a powerful musical phenomenon, largely owing to the pioneering leadership of musician and composer, Bob Marley. Musically, reggae is the successor to Jamaican ska (mostly instrumental music emphasizing offbeats) and rock steady (mostly vocal music with a sparse rhythmic accompaniment). All of these types of music share their roots in mento, the traditional folk music of Jamaica, and are imbued with elements of American rhythm and blues. Marley is heard here early in his career performing in the rock steady style with his vocal group, then known as the Wailing Wailers.
