testing, chinese diaspora influence on the development of reggae music is indisputable > there are quite a few great articles on this, e.g.

testing, it irks me when people try to assign musical genres to one community only, and this is certainly often happens when it comes to reggae and its musical offsprings > music is a universal language, so let's give credit!
one more example is garage music from uk: jason chue, himself one the most influential garage producers, is of chinese ancestry, too
