Reggae music will feature on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List on Thursday, recognizing that it is an important element of international "conversation" on issues such as 39, injustice, resistance, love and humanity.
Reggae was created in Jamaica in the 1960s, combining several other genres. Regge quickly became popular in the United States and Great Britain, where, after the Second World War, many Jamaica were displaced.
Reggae was often considered to be the music of the oppressed, and it was about socio-political problems and inequalities in the songs. This style of music is also badociated with Rastafarianism.
Toots and the Maytals' 1968 single "Do the Reggay" is the first popular song called "reggae". After that, Bob Marley and his band The Wailers created reggae hits such as "No Woman, No Cry" and "Stir It Up".
Jamaica announced the inclusion of reggae on the list of intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO this year at the UNESCO meeting in Mauritius.
Currently, intangible cultural heritage contains nearly 500 entries from 117 countries around the world.
The tradition of Song and Dance Celebration and Suitu Cultural Space is on the list of Latvia.
