- Reggae "is a music genre first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular Jamaican dance music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady."

- Le patois rasta (patwa en jamaïcain), "aussi appelé « Dread talk », « I-talk », « I-ance » ou encore « I-yaric » est le langage que les rastas ont élaboré de façon à se rendre indépendants du joug colonial qui pesait sur le peuple jamaïcain. Cette langue revêt également aux yeux des rastas l’apparence d’une ré-interprétation de l’héritage reçu et une affirmation de leur culture, mélange de racines africaines selon lesquelles le verbe contient l'essence, et de culture rasta."
