raggan.

Brit.

/ˈraɡə/, U.S.

/ˈræɡə/, Caribbean English

/ˈraɡa/

Origin: Formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: ragamuffin n.

Etymology: Shortened < ragamuffin n. (see sense 4 at that entry).Perhaps compare Jamaican English ragga ragga (adjective) ragged, (noun) old ragged clothes (ultimately < rag n.²).

1. An uptempo style of popular music derived from dancehall reggae, featuring a rapid, improvised vocal part, or ‘toast’, and incorporating elements from faster, electronically based genres, such as hip-hop and techno; the culture associated with this music. Cf. ragamuffin n. 4.Esp. in its early use, ragga was used almost synonymously with the earlier dancehall (dance hall n. 2), the genre from which it arose. The most notable difference between the styles is the use of electronic instrumentation in ragga, reflecting the stronger association of dancehall with live performance, and of ragga with digital technology and studio recordings.
