When was the reggae era?

The reggae era is generally considered to have lasted from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. It began with the development of ska and rocksteady, which evolved into reggae by the end of the 1960s. Some of the most famous reggae artists from this era include Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer. The popularity of reggae continued to grow throughout the 1970s, and it achieved international recognition in the early 1980s. However, the era is generally considered to have ended by the mid-1980s, as hip hop and other newer genres of music began to dominate the charts.
