雷鬼音乐成为全球文化宝藏联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）已将雷鬼音乐列入值得保护和促进的国际文化宝藏清单。UNESCO正式认可雷鬼音乐是“非物质物化遗产”。雷鬼音乐是一种音乐风格，起源于20世纪60年代早期的牙买加。包括图茨、the Maytals、皮特·托什以及传奇人物鲍勃·马利在内的艺术家都是其先驱者。牙买加政府对雷鬼音乐的新地位感到高兴。牙买加文化部长奥利维亚·格兰奇表示：“雷鬼音乐是独特的牙买加人。我们所创造的这种音乐渗透到了世界的每个角落。”

UNESCO defined reggae as being, "an amalgam of numerous musical influences," including Jamaican and Caribbean forms, neo-African styles, soul and rhythm and blues from North America, and Ska and Rock Steady. It described the importance of the music, saying: "Reggae music was the voice of the marginalized. The music is now played and embraced by a wide cross-section of society, including various genders, ethnic and religious groups." It added: "Reggae's contribution to international discourse on issues of injustice, resistance, love and humanity underscores the dynamics of the music as being...cerebral, socio-political, sensual and spiritual."

UNESCO将雷鬼音乐定义为“多种音乐影响的融合，”包括牙买加和加勒比形式、新非洲风格、来自北美的灵魂乐和节奏布鲁斯音乐、斯卡和早期雷盖摇滚乐。其描述了这种音乐的重要性，称：“雷鬼音乐是边缘化群体的声音。如今很多文化阶层都在演奏和接受这种音乐，包括不同性别、种族和宗教的人。”它还说道：“雷鬼音乐对不公正、反抗、爱与人文问题的国际话语贡献突出了音乐动态理智、社会政治、感官以及精神的一面。”
