Thanks for listing those artists!

How about some songs with those artists hehe

I didn't know there would be so many.

I just have to talk about how Jamaican music contributed certain styles and such.

And I have to talk about the technical terms of what's common in Jamaican old days Jamaican music such as what kind of instruments they used and the ways they use them.

I'm also looking for videos of some of the artists using the Tradition Jamaican instruments

Are there any artists who were/are famous for playing one of them traditional instruments?

Get the Bob Marley CD "Legends". That's a compilation of hits which shows reggae rather well. The song "I Shot The Sheriff" is at least familiar and you can get the Eric Clapton version to play it side by side for comparison purposes so the listeners can hear the difference between rock and reggae quite clearly.
