El reggae es un género musical que se originó en Jamaica en la década de 1960, con influencias del ska y el rocksteady. Se destaca por su ritmo sincopado que enfatiza el tercer tiempo del compás, así como por el uso de bajos y baterías contundentes.
Las letras del reggae suelen abordar temas sociales y políticos, como la pobreza, la opresión y la lucha por la igualdad y la justicia. Entre los artistas de reggae más reconocidos se encuentran Bob Marley, Peter Tosh y Jimmy Cliff, quienes contribuyeron a popularizar el género en todo el mundo.
Hoy en día, el reggae sigue siendo un género apreciado en todo el mundo y ha influido en numerosos otros géneros musicales, como el hip hop, el rock y la música electrónica. Los sitios web de música en línea ofrecen una amplia selección de canciones de reggae de diferentes artistas y épocas, permitiendo a los amantes del género disfrutar de su música preferida de forma gratuita y conveniente desde cualquier lugar del mundo.
Sizzla Kalonji es el nombre artístico de Miguel Orlando Collins. Nació el 17 de abril de 1977 en Saint Mary, Jamaica, y se crió en August Town. Es inusualmente prolífico, incluso para los estándares Jamaicanos. Sizzla pertenece a la secta rastafario "Bobo Ashanti", conocida por su ortodoxia al rechazar los valores asociados con la cultura y el colonianismo. Las canciones de Sizzla hablan de la pobreza y desesperación que impregna la juventud jamaicana, de brutalidad policial y de opresión política y religiosa.
