This is another song by the punk rock band Sublime. Much like their song "Wrong Way" this song features a groovy bass line and guitar playing. Of the two Sublime songs in this playlist, I feel that this one is closer to the "classic" definition of a reggae song. The melody of "Santeria" is much slower, and paced more like a reggae song, while the song "Wrong Way" undoubtedly has reggae traits but it does not line as close to the genre as "Santeria." With Sublime having some songs more reggae heavy and having other songs that are not, it shows how the reggae scene is evolving in America and how reggae music is migrating and transforming the popular music scene.
