Do you know the meaning of these three colors? no ?corres reggae.jpg
Many may say that reggae colors mean the colors of the Jamaican flag, as it is the birthplace of reggae, where it all began. Since there are people who think that there are drugs, this is foolish, because reggae does not live or talk about it.

The true meaning is that these colors, mean the colors of the national flag of Ethiopia, in which. Red means power and faith, yellow the church and peace, and finally the Green means the earth and hope.

I'll show you a little text found on the internet, which speaks in more detail about the meaning.

"They are, therefore, colors representative of both material (physical) and metaphysical (or spiritual) values. The physical, in the green, relates to Mother Earth, nature, fauna, flora as exuberant in Africa as in Brazil, source of life and prosperity, land providing shelter and food. The metaphysical aspect of green is hope because this color is linked in the oldest esoteric traditions to the phenomena of renewal. In the Tarot, oracle of letters of Hindu-Egyptian origin, the letter XX, has the green like outstanding color. The arcane (the letter) called The Judgment shows three figures rising from a tomb in front of an apocalyptic angel, a resurrection scene.

In the shades of yellow and red other subjective meanings are concentrated. Peace, a necessary condition for a healthy existence; The Church, as a social force of union among peoples; Power, as the ability to achieve goals, to transform dreams into realities, and finally to Faith, without which these abilities can not be achieved. It is by faith that persistence is maintained towards an objective despite the numerous obstacles that stand between a person and his highest aspirations."
