Reggae

Get some sweet Reggae in NYC (including ska and dancehall) at Brooklyn Bowl, SOB’s, Sony Hall, BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn, AfroPunk, and more. There’s also Barclays Center, Hammerstein Ballroom, and UBS Arena. Reggae’s relationship between the bass, skank guitar, drum pattern, and offbeat contain an implied cross-rhythmic tension that functions as an organizing principle similar to clave. Reggae’s Jamaican sound system, toasting over riddims, and versioning; provided the structure for hip hop, direct from Kingston.
