Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music that originated in the late 1970s. Initially dancehall was a more sparse version of reggae than the roots style which had dominated much of the 1970s. In the mid-1980s digital instrumentation became more prevalent changing the sound considerably with digital dancehall (or ragga) becoming increasingly characterized by faster rhythms.
