Reggae is a popular music and is often played amidst the hustle and bustle of tourists. This research seeks to understand how reggae music, which is synonymous with culture, religious movements, social activism and resistance, is mobilized to become a resource for producing musical scenes and performances as a form of participation in tourism development.
