Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Reggae appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Doch hier soll es um Reggae gehen, jenen Sound, der die Landesfahne des Eilands bis in die entlegendsten Erdenwinkel trieb und als Markenzeichen etablierte.“
„Musikalisch setzt Reggae nach wie vor auf die Offbeat-Phrasierung, also die Betonung des 2. und 4. Takts, ist dabei aber langsamer und weniger basslastig als andere ähnliche Musikstile wie Punk oder Ska.“
