REGGAE..................where did the word come from????
As far as Jamaicans
are concerned, the word REGGAE was coined
on a 1968 Pyramid dance single, "Do the Reggay (sic),"
by Toots and the Maytals, derived from Reg-gay,---REG
in Latin means REGAL and GAY
was the abbreviation for GAIETY (Happiness)
of the Music, formulated to mean THE MUSIC OF THE KING
(Royal Music) with a gentleman with the last name of
GOLDING having some involvement in the originating
of the name.
Others said
it is the name of a Bantu-speaking tribe on Lake Tanganyika. Others
say it is a corruption of "STREGGAE,"
Kingston street slang for prostitute.
Bob Marleys interpretation is closer to the first interpretation,
he claimed the word was Spanish in origin, meaning "The
King's Music."
The
RASTA EXPERIENCE has been the Reggae Radio Show that
has revolutionized the Reggae / World Music scene and theAfrican /
Caribbean community on Colorado's Front Range.
Now celebrating 7years on the air, The RASTA EXPERIENCE has acquired
the status as a Top a Top US
Reggae Radio program that brings the most authentic and diverse Reggae
/ World Music presentation, attributed to the mastermind hosts spearheaded
by Sire, Colorado's Reggae ambassador from Jamaica.
Under the guidance of the original Hosts Jumbo
Lion (originally Jumbalaya - renamed by Ky-Mani Marley
to JumboLion) & Sire, the
initial elements were put together that still keep the show's quality
and diversity above par, playing all the sub-genres within Reggae
& World Music including but not limited to Ska, Roots Reggae as
well as Calypso and other World Music.As a result the quality of the
show gained a strong fan base.
Today, the show has grown into a jaw breaking powerhouse, breaking
new Reggae and World Music acts while balancing the show with a view
of Caribbean, Reggae and World Music lifestyle. The top selectors
