Nyahbinghi
Nyahbinghi music is used during reasoning sessions and consists of chanting and drumming to reach states of heightened spirituality. The Nyahbinghi resistance inspired a number of Rastafarians who incorporate what are known as Binghi into our celebrations (Grounnations). Three kinds of drums are used in Nyabinghi music: bass, funde and keteh. The keteh plays an improvised syncopation, the funde plays a regular one-two beat and the bass drum strikes loudly on the first beat, and softly on the third (of four) beat. The chants contain ideas of redemption and repatriation. They help people to participate and feel included in the Rasta community.
Reggae
In the last thirty years Rastafari has become commonly associated with Reggae music, especially following the worldwide success of the group of the Wailers, that included Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.
