Reggae Music Digital art contest: Contest Entry 
Reggae developed in Jamaica in the late 1960s. Truth it is often verbally used for several types of Caribbean and Latin American dance music the term belongs to a music style which developed from the earlier genres ska and rocksteady.
Today Reggae has spread around the world. The typical instruments are Guitar, drums and bass, but in countries outside Jamaica local instruments are added and the style mixes with local genres.

African Reggae is as popular as Jamaican. It developed in the 1970 and was much boosted by the Bob Marley visit to Zimbabwe in 1980. In the same Year [1980], Dub Colossus and the Invisible System got famous in Ethiopia. Today Ethiopian Reggae is as popular as in the 80s.

The silhouetted lion in my poster is painted after a extemporary version of the Ethiopian Lion of Judah Flag. If you look closely you will find the colors of the flag integrated in the poster as well. The used musical notes are painted using the original sheet music of Boogie On Reggae Woman by Stevie Wonder and treated with a distortion filter. The guitar is digitally painted. The background was digitally painted and afterwards exchanged using distortion brushes. The poster was crafted in six layers.
