  12. "Nyabinghi" is the liturgical music of traditional
  13. Rastafarianism. It has a different beat from reggae,
  14. and is probably descended from West African drumming
  15. and from the music of various Jamaican folk religions.
  16. Bob Marley used to play a nyabinghi piece at the
  17. start of his concerts, but in general you don't hear
  18. this music often. Does anyone know of any good
  19. recordings?
