Reggae in America: Outside Influences

Not uncommon for much of the music in America, Reggae music began incorporating other types of musical genres and sounds based on outside influences. Rebelution and Slightly Stoopid are considered to be some contemporary reggae genres. Matisyahu began to gain notice when he incorporated traditional Jewish themes with reggae. Hawaiian reggae has also started to become more popular with bands such as Maoli and Fiji incorporated a slower more melodic Hawaiian sound to the reggae genre.
