The cultural agency of the United Nations—UNESCO—added reggae music to its list of international intangible cultural treasures in 2018. The purpose of the list is to protect many international cultural traditions.
Reggae music began in Jamaica and spread across the world with its calls for social justice， peace and love.
Born in the neighborhoods of Kingston in the 1960s， reggae songs were an expression of hard times and struggle. But its rhythmic sound and hopeful lyrics also made it an enjoyable music.
Its most famous songwriter and performer， the late Bob Marley， became an international star with songs like “No Woman， No Cry” and “Get Up， Stand Up”. Other well-loved reggae artists include Jimmy Cliff and Toots and the Maytalls.
Over time， the music traveled everywhere， from Britain and the United States to Latin America and Africa.
In the 1960s， reggae gained popularity in Britain and parts of the US， where Jamaicans began moving after World War Ⅱ.
Many of the world’s most famous reggae musicians began their careers in Britain. Reggae also influenced other styles of music there.
In the 1970s and 1980s， the British punk rock music world welcomed reggae. Soon， punk musicians would be making reggae-influenced songs.
British artists such as The Clash and The Police mixed reggae’s rhythms and sounds into their music. This helped bring reggae to a wider audience.
Today， musicians from a wide field of styles， such as pop， R&B and even jazz， continue to borrow from reggae.
UNESCO said in a statement that reggae remains unchanged as “a vehicle of social commentary， as a cathartic experience， and means of praising God... and the music continues to provide a voice for all.”
2018年，联合国文化局——联合国教科文组织将雷鬼音乐列入世界非物质文化遗产名单。这份名单旨在保护各种国际文化传统。
雷鬼音乐起源于牙买加，因其对社会正义、和平与爱的呼吁而传播到世界各地。
雷鬼音乐诞生于20世纪60年代的金斯敦社区，在那时是人们表达生活艰难和对生活抗争的一种方式。但它富有节奏感的声音和充满希望的歌词使它成为一种令人愉快的音乐。
最著名的雷鬼音乐词曲作者和表演者是已故的鲍勃·马利，他凭借《不，女人，不要哭泣》和《起来，站起来》等歌曲成为国际明星。其他深受人们喜爱的雷鬼音乐艺术家还有吉米·克里夫、图茨和梅塔尔夫妇。
随着时间的推移，雷鬼音乐从英国、美国传播到拉丁美洲和非洲，最终传遍全世界。
牙买加人在第二次世界大战后开始迁往英国和美国部分地区，到20世纪60年代，雷鬼音乐已经在这些地区流行起来。
世界上许多著名的雷鬼音乐家都是在英国开启他们的职业生涯，雷鬼音乐也影响了英国其他类型的音乐。
20世纪70年代和80年代，英国朋克摇滚音乐界欣然接纳雷鬼音乐。很快，朋克音樂家就创作出许多带有雷鬼因素的歌曲。
“碰撞乐队”和“警察乐队”等英国乐队的艺术家们将雷鬼音乐的节奏和声音融入他们的音乐之中，这让雷鬼音乐有了更多的听众。
如今，流行音乐、节奏布鲁斯，甚至爵士乐等各种风格的音乐家们都在借鉴雷鬼音乐元素。
联合国教科文组织在一份声明中表示，雷鬼音乐作为“一种评论社会的工具，一种宣泄情感的方式和赞美上帝的方式……这种音乐将继续为所有人提供发声的机会”，这一点是始终保持不变的。
