    I agree with Harbourboy here too; but sadly, thanks to MTV (TV and magazine) nowadays there's a 'genre' for about 3 bands (you offend rappers if you call rap what Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park sings)...
    I guess Raga must have to do something with reggae; by the way, there's reggaeton too and reggacumbia and even raggarap; all of them coming strong from Central America, with music that, IMHO, all sound almost the same, but because some use some kind of words and others don't, so there you have another music 'genre', and I still can't find anything to do with reggae, which is supposed to be the influence of these new 'genres'.

    PS: MTV Spain even change original genre names to 'adapt' to Spanish language; so, when reggaeton started to sound, it was called just that, when MTV saw that this music was a major success, started to use de word "regaton"... just to make it easy for the educated and literate...

    Actually Raga is a type of traditional Indian music, and sounds nothing like the average MTV band. With the growning popularity of Indian music, I am very surprised that you have never heard any 'danced up' Raga tunes.

    @Cúchulainn: that was a wild guess; with the increasing of new genres (and lots of reggae-something) nowadays, made me guess that.

    @Harbourboy: I agree, hilarious, and if you hear them (those reggae-whatever styles) you will find all the same... but using the word "bailao" instead of "bailado" (kind of dancin' and dancing) makes different genres... hilarious? Think harder...
