I use to know a guy with a giant collection of reggae albums. An exchange student from India thought it was wonderful then said something like: I don't want to shock you but reggae music comes from India, I know it sounds preposterous but it's the truth. He had some cassette tapes, played some songs, pointed his finger to the ceiling, listen! It was quite hilarious. Like learning about the amen break.

- trilbyglens 3y agoLike any historical thing, there can be many interpretations, all of them hitting on something true.
- beaker52 3y agoIt depends how far back you want to look for the origin of sounds.
- bobthepanda 3y agoWith something like sound, it is also possible for multiple parallel discoveries to result in something similar. There isn’t necessarily one origin.

- OneDonOne 3y agoIn this case we have a documented history of the origins of reggae music as an outgrowth from ska and reggae. This includes confirmation of the genre's post-Independence origins. So I'm not sure what this "Indian Origin of Reggae" comes from or why no historian or musicologist has ever noticed this.
- 6510 3y agoI was curious if I could find any examples and listen to some traditional punjabi music for 10 whole minutes after writing the post. I know there are better examples to be had but here you go. http://go-here.nl/india-reggae.mp4 http://go-here.nl/india-reggae.mp4 It sounds Reggae enough to me.
- OneDonOne 3y agoThen you must have a very interesting definition of reggae. This piece has no skank. It actually arpeggiates on the 4 beat, and is played by a percussion instrument, instead of the usual Fender Jazz electric guitar. Also, none of the,drumbeats are present (rub-a-dub, steppers, one drop, rockers). Listen to how your clip sounds compared to the below - Drop into a Walk by Yuzo Koshiro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKhseX_wWqU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKhseX_wWqU
