Overview
Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music, characterized by its sparse, digital instrumentation and extensive use of Jamaican Patois. Dancehall music is characterized by its extensive use of Jamaican Patois rather than Jamaican standard English and a focus on the track instrumentals. The genre's sound is often described as infectious and energetic, with a strong emphasis on rhythm and melody. Dancehall's production style is often minimalist, with a focus on the drum and bass lines, allowing for a more stripped-back and raw sound.
