Marley's Music is a genre of music that was popularized by the late Bob Marley. Reggae is a style of music that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s and is characterized by its use of the offbeat rhythm, ska and rocksteady. Reae is a subgenre of reggae that emerged in the early 1970s and is characterized by its slower tempo and more melodic sound. Both reggae and reae are closely associated with Marley's music.
