✫ About Ragga: 

#Raggamuffin music, usually abbreviated as ragga, is a #subgenre of #dancehall and #reggae music. The #instrumentals primarily consist of #electronic music. Similar to hip hop, sampling often serves a prominent role in raggamuffin music. Wayne Smith's "Under Mi Sleng Teng", produced by King Jammy in 1985 on a Casio MT-40 #synthesizer, is generally recognized as the seminal ragga #song. "Sleng Teng" boosted Jammy's popularity immensely, and other producers quickly released their own versions of the #riddim, accompanied by #dozens of different #vocalists. Ragga is now mainly used as a synonym for dancehall reggae or for describing dancehall with a deejay chatting rather than singjaying or singing on top of the riddim. Ragga originated in Jamaica during the 1980s, at the same time that electronic dance music's popularity was increasing globally. One of the reasons for ragga's swift propagation is that it is generally easier and less expensive to produce than reggae performed on traditional musical #instruments. #Ragga evolved first in #Jamaica, and later in #Europe, North America, and Africa, eventually spreading to Japan, India, and the rest of the world. Ragga heavily influenced early jungle music, and also spawned the syncretistic bhangragga style when fused with bhangra. In the 1990s, ragga and breakcore music #fused, creating a #style known as #raggacore. The term "raggamuffin" is an intentional misspelling of "ragamuffin", a word that entered the Jamaican Patois lexicon after the British Empire colonized Jamaica in the 17th century. Despite the British colonialists' pejorative application of the term, Jamaican youth appropriated it as an ingroup designation. The term "raggamuffin music" describes the music of Jamaica's "ghetto dwellers". (wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragga)
