Reggae Music art contest: Contest Entry 
I can put a Hip-hop beat to reggae. That is, I can have real drums and in the rhythm, and on top of it. I can put The Rolling Stones feeling, anyones feeling on top. Nobody has ever done this before, man. �??Ike Turner
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.
That is not exactly what I had in mind when I signed up. Due to the care for a seriously ill loved one, I am not able to get the materials I want at my location. I had to work with what was handy. I hope what I did still meets the requirements of the contest.
Post Type: Traditional Art
Mixed Media: None | Double layers of green and yellow tissue paper were glued on red tissue. The face and the dancers were drawn with a black and a blue Sharpie on red construction paper. They were cut out and glue to the tissue. I had to use Superglue, which changed the texture on some places thorough the picture. The dreadlocks are made from dry natural palm fibers of a Royal Palm intervened with strips of construction paper and gold foil. The trunk of the palm tree is from the same Royal Palm, but the leaves are fresh from my indoor palm. The musical symbols and the irregular framing line are drawn with a Sharpie.
