Initially confined to the Rastafarian communities, the message has gradually spread around the world, partly through reggae music and the lifestyle "Livity" (inspired by the Biblical ordinances of Leviticus) represented by the singer Bob Marley . The first milestone was the opening of the ghettos of young Jamaicans, formed by the rural exodus, and filled with young people trying to escape crime, do not become rude boys. The music was at that time, very important in popular culture, the message then naturally adapted to the compositions of the time. We gradually moved from rock steady, the lyrics focus on love relationships and a more spiritual music, roots reggae. We see this change very well with artists like Ken Boothe, Max Romeo or Wailers.Finally, the advent of reggae music as popular internationally allowed the expansion of the message in the world of fascinating people from all continents. This is not without asking questions, especially on the relevance of the message received, and its adaptation to other populations. Indeed, the African roots of black Rastafarian may be more obvious than those of white European ... In addition, a criticism often leveled against white European youths wearing dreadlocks is the dilution of the message, it is tinged with a color hippie rather distant from the original message. Thus, the question of the possibility of asserting rasta when one is white and European is still open, anyone with the ability to feel an unconscious need to return to a way of life and thought more authentic. Rastafari is not limited to ethnic boundaries, the movement is based on a "Livity" way of living and behaving that goes back to the creation of everything, including that of humans. Thought, spirituality Rastafarian to be universal.Thus, it would be wrong to consider that the Rastafarian philosophy is not recognized outside of Jamaica, and it is quite possible to be inspired more or less important. For example, Max Cavalera, former lead singer of metal band Sepultura and current Soulfly frontman draws heavily Rastafarian philosophy in his words (I and I, Tribe, etc.). When he is white and that a practical music, despite some loans, far removed from reggae.
