Toots & the Maytals
The legendary Toots & the Maytals perform on the Santa Monica Pier during the 24th Annual Twilight Dance Series on Thursday, Aug 29, 2008. Toots and the Maytals are credited with coining the word "Reggae" on their 1968 single "Do the Reggay." Until that time Reggay was a dance fad in Jamaica and was not associated with the style of music played by bands we now consider Reggae musicians. Toots and the Maytals, originally called simply The Maytals, are considered legends of ska and reggae music. Their sound is a unique, original combination of gospel, ska, soul, reggae and rock. Toots & The Maytals “Light Your Light” was nominated for Grammy for Best Reggae Album 2007.
