how was roots reggae altered to create the new style called dancehall in the 1980s?
recordings of reggae were remixed and altered as a backdrop for improvised vocal solos.
spanish-language rap was superimposed on beats derived from reggae.
synthesizers provided the beat, and texts focused more on relationships than rastafarianism.
electric guitars were featured prominently, and the lyrics were sung in the cherokee language.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Remixing for improvised vocal solos isn't the main change for dancehall from roots reggae.
• Option 2: Dancehall isn't about Spanish - language rap on reggae beats.
• Option 3: Dancehall used synthesizers for beats and shifted lyrical focus from Rastafarianism to relationships, which matches how roots reggae was altered to create dancehall.
• Option 4: Using electric guitars prominently and Cherokee - language lyrics is not related to dancehall's creation.

Answer:

C. Synthesizers provided the beat, and texts focused more on relationships than Rastafarianism.
