About Reggae Radio
Reggae radio carries one of the most distinctive sounds in global broadcasting, built on the offbeat rhythmic pattern (the 'skank') and bass-heavy production that emerged from Kingston, Jamaica in the late 1960s. Bob Marley's international breakthrough in the 1970s created a worldwide reggae audience, and dedicated reggae stations now operate not just in Jamaica and the Caribbean but in the UK (where large Jamaican diaspora communities fueled reggae's adoption into British culture), the US, Germany, France, and Japan. Reggae radio typically blends roots reggae, dancehall, dub, and ska — the full Jamaican musical lineage — alongside contemporary artists who carry the tradition forward.
Reggae stations are concentrated in Jamaica, the UK, US, Canada, France, and Germany. The genre has dedicated stations in Japan, Australia, and across the Caribbean.
Subgenres: Roots reggae, Dancehall, Dub, Ska, Rocksteady, Lovers rock

What is the difference between reggae and dancehall?
Reggae is the broader genre, characterized by its offbeat rhythm guitar and socially conscious lyrics rooted in Rastafari culture. Dancehall emerged in the late 1970s as a more uptempo, DJ-vocal driven variant emphasizing rhythm ('riddim') and contemporary themes. Modern dancehall is heavily produced with electronic elements.
