When creating my mood board I discovered that there is a main way, which the music genre of reggae is presented. I have included mainstream artists who have made it big in this music genre and these people are:
==> Buju Banton
==> Damien Marley
==> Bob Marley
==> Gyptain
==> Elephant Man
==> Sean Paul
==> Capleton
As you can see in my mood board, this music genre represents itself in a proud way as the artist are proud to dress in a way that represents themselves as a person and also where they come from. The reggae genre is known for the Rastafarian hairstyle with the big rust hats and also the smoking of the ganja.
The colours that they wear as well are fairly bright, as they like to stand out, for example Elephant Man’s album cover is he on a flashy bike with a red leather jacket on and black sunglasses. All of the stuff that he is wearing represents money and power.
The reggae genre also gets its name for the accents they use. The main language that they use is Patois, which is the Jamaican language, which is very fast and hard to understand if you are not familiar with it
In the music videos that are made for these types of music songs, they are normally set where they come from. They are normally set in the reggae backgrounds where it is normally from like in Jamaica but a song like Bob Marley – One Love is set in England in a multi social environment with lots of different cultures and also different types of people from different music genres i.e. Goths and Paul McCartney. By this it is aimed at a large target audience and attracts lots of people.
The colours that dominate this music genre is the national colours of the countries that reggae music generates from. The Rastafarian hat colours of red, green and yellow symbolize the patriotic faith that they have and they also have the colours of the Ethiopian and Jamaican flags.
