Rocksteady

Rocksteady is a Jamaican music genre that emerged in the mid-1960s, bridging the gap between ska and reggae with its slower, more laid-back rhythms. Characterized by smooth, soulful vocals and a prominent bass line, rocksteady often explores themes of love and social change. Its influence can be heard in the evolution of reggae, with artists like Alton Ellis and The Paragons defining the genre's distinct sound and enduring legacy.
