'''Filipino reggae''' or '''Pinoy reggae''' is [[reggae]] music created in the [[Philippines]]. The country has several [[Band (music)|bands]] and [[Sound system (Jamaican)|sound systems]] that play reggae and [[dancehall]] music in a style faithful to its expression in [[Jamaica]]. Reggae in the Philippines comprises the many forms of reggae and its [[Reggae genres|subgenres]], and at times combining traditional [[Culture of the Philippines|Filipino]] forms of music and instruments in their music.

The provinces of [[Aklan]] (mainly [[Boracay Island]]), [[Quezon]], [[Pampanga]] and [[Pangasinan]], [[Negros Occidental]] and [[Negros Oriental]], [[Palawan]], [[Surigao del Norte]] (mainly [[Siargao Island]]) and [[Marinduque]], and the cities of [[City of Manila|Manila]], [[Cebu City|Cebu]] and [[Davao City|Davao]] are some of the places that reggae has found a base, with many artists residing in these cities and performing at local bars and clubs. The [[Visayas]] section of the Philippines has had the largest concentration of reggae groups, with [[Cebu City]] of [[Central Visayas]] even being dubbed "The Reggae Capital of the Philippines". In early 2007, [[Ziggy Marley]] performed at the MTV Philippines festival, "Reggae Fest by the Bay" in Manila. Marley played with local Filipino reggae talents.<ref>[http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/entertainment/entertainment/view_article.php?article_id=58140 ''Ziggy Marley was here'']</ref>

==History==
((More citations needed section|date=October 2009))
Jamaican [[reggae]] was introduced to the Philippines in the late 1960s; however the first recognized Filipino reggae bands didn't appear until the late 1970s. Cocojam is known as one of the first Filipino reggae bands. [[Ska]] also found its place in the Philippines, with many bands forming, especially in the [[Visayas]] region. Cities like [[Dumaguete]] and [[Cebu City|Cebu]] became the hub of Filipino ska. [[Dub music]] also found its place within the islands, with bands like [[Junior Kilat]] popularizing the genre with songs like "Sigbin". Local folklore, tales and traditions were a noticeable influence on songs. The subgenre [[dancehall]] was popularized in Cebu by Coolie Dread and the Microphone Commanders.  Bands like Badjao Roots and [[Tropical Depression (band)|Tropical Depression]] displayed cultural awareness by using traditional instruments in their songs. With the commercial success of groups like Brownman Revival and Tropical Depression, the Filipino reggae scene has seen more popularity, to the point that more reggae festivals are being introduced and expanded around the country.
