Where was reggae music developed?

Reggae music developed in Jamaica, specifically in the capital city of Kingston, during the late 1960s. It emerged from the fusion of various musical genres that were popular in Jamaica at the time, including rhythm and blues, jazz, ska, and rocksteady. Reggae is known for its distinctive off-beat rhythm, as well as its social, political, and spiritual lyrics. It has since become a widely celebrated and influential genre around the world.
