In 1966 - Haile Selassie  visited Jamaica and was greeted by 10,000 people, he was seen as a God to the Rastafarian community.
 After the visit, music became popular. The established recording studio's wouldn't play reggae, but musicians began to open their own cheap studios like "studio 17". 

Blues - was dances in UK, which were danced to reggae music. blues was time were people really started to develop a love for reggae music, which help the growth of reggae in the UK.
1976- Jamaican divide, violence, state of emergency. economic laws, civil wars which caused over 200 deaths, the revolution, national debt.

In Kingston Jamaica, artist began to reflect on what was happening and put their thoughts and feelings into music, because music was their only way of expressing themselves and connecting with other Jamaicans without getting abused by police or anyone by that matter. People listened to the music rather than politicians. A concert was arranged by the prime minister of Jamaica, the day of the concert Bob Marley and his family were attacked by gun men.  

In 1980's - The punk/peacemakers developed a understanding of the reggae/ Rastafarian culture, this increased the knowledge of  the Rastafarian community and their music.

The one love concert in Jamaica was one greatest moment in Jamaican history when bob Marley brought two prime ministers that were at war on stage and made them hold hands- this might not seem that much a big idea, but not for the Jamaican community it showed that there was still a sense for unity and hope.
