When reggae emerged in the late 1960s, it became a cultural bombshell not only to Jamaica but the whole world. 

Reggae has influenced societies throughout the world and this has contributed to the development of new counterculture movements, particularly in Europe, the USA and Africa.

In Uganda, singer Maddox Ssematimba is known to be one of the best Reggae artiste. However, Tshaka Mayanja was the first Ugandan to record a Reggae album.

It is also said that Bob Marley is considered to be one of the pioneers of Reggae. He is a Jamaican musician that influenced Reggae music in Uganda.
