Whether he performs with a live band or a sound system, on stages big or small, on scenes underground or mainstream- Amlak brings the lyrical fire. Amlak represents the Redsquare Rebelnation- a vibrant group of talented musicians led by the dancehall icon, Spragga Benz. As the nephew and mentee of this musical legend, it’s no surprise that Amlak would follow in his uncles' footsteps by developing music with a solid message. With the torch in hand, Amlak allows his talents to pave a unique path. A path that garners the interest of influencers who, not only recognizes his gift, but also empowers him to spread his message to the people.

His latest project, "August 5" is a dedication to Keke, his first born child while, “The Book of Judges” - co-produced by himself and Harry Gottschalk marked his third major compilation which propelled him even further in his musical career.

African dancehall artists may very well represent the most exciting (and least- r e c o g n i z e d ) m o vement happening in dancehall today. Africa is so huge, culturally rich and diverse that it is difficult to generalize about the musical happenings. Yet a recent musical sampling of the continent shows that dancehall is begin- ning to emerge as a powerful African musical form in its own right.

  • 1 Julian Henriques Sonic Bodies: Reggae Sound Systems
    Julian Henriques Sonic Bodies: Reggae Sound Systems, Performance Techniques & Ways of Knowing Preamble: Thinking Through Sound It hits you, but you feel no pain, instead, pleasure.1 This is the visceral experience of audition, to be immersed in an auditory volume, swimming in a sea of sound, between cliffs of speakers towering almost to the sky, sound stacked up upon sound - tweeters on top of horns, on top of mid, on top of bass, on top of walk-in sub bass bins (Frontispiece). There is no escape, not even thinking about it, just being there alive to, in and as the excess of sound. Trouser legs flap to the base line and internal organs resonate to the finely tuned frequencies, as the vibrations of the music excite every cell in your body. This is what I call sonic dominance.2 This explodes with all the multi sensory intensity of image, touch, movement and smell - the dance crews formations sashaying across the tarmac in front of the camera lights, the video projection screens and the scent of beer rum, weed, sweat and drum chicken floating on the tropical air. The sound of the reggae dancehall session calls out across the city blocks, or countryside hills to draw you in. It brings you to yourself, to and through your senses and it brings you to and with others sharing these convivial joys - out on the street under the stars in downtown Kingston, Jamaica. Such a scene is literally the dance of the sonic bodies to which this book attends. Sonic bodies are fine-tuned, as with the phonographic instrument of the sound system “set” of equipment.

  • For Immediate Release Papa Rosko Announces Debut
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PAPA ROSKO ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM OUT OCTOBER 16, 2020 THE SELF‐TITLED ALBUM FUSES REGGAE WITH ELEMENTS OF ROCK, POP, LATIN, AND COUNTRY MUSIC FEATURES COLLABS WITH REGGAE LEGENDS TOOTS & THE MAYTALS, DANCEHALL STAR GYPTIAN, AND THIRD WORLD LEAD SINGER AJ BROWN Introducing the multi-genre recording and performing artist Papa Rosko, who will be releasing his self-titled debut album on October 16, 2020. Papa Rosko pulls together a wide spectrum of genres on his debut album, fusing elements of rock, pop, alternative, Latin, and country music into a seamless reggae sound. The self-titled album was recorded over the course of two and half years between studios in South Florida and Kingston, Jamaica. The results are an impressive album filled with original songs and a pair of country-reggae fusion covers featuring reggae and dancehall legends. The album kicks off with Papa Rosko’s take on the classic Johnny Cash song “Folsom Prison Blues,” featuring Toots Hibbert of Toots & the Maytals as special guest vocalist (Toots famously wrote his own prison song “54-46 That’s My Number,” which gets a shout out at the end of the song here.) Another cover on the album is of the timeless song “When You Say Nothing At All,” featuring Jamaican dancehall star Gyptian as guest vocalist. The song has been an international hit for three different artists (Keith Whitley, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Ronan Keating) spanning three different decades. The iconic tune has always been done as a slow ballad, but Papa Rosko brings his unique style to it, picking up the tempo and immersing it in an island vibe.

  • Moving Dancehall Off the Island: Female Sexuality and Club Culture in Toronto
    Karen Flynn: Moving Dancehall Off the Island: Female Sexuality and Club Culture in Toronto Moving Dancehall Off the Island: Female Sexuality and Club Culture in Toronto Karen Flynn Associate Professor University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA Abstract While there has been an exciting growth in scholarship on dancehall culture, primarily in the fields of cultural and literary studies as they relate to Jamaica, more attention needs to be given to its configuration in other geographical locations and other popular culture arenas. This article explores dancehall culture from a geographic site, in Toronto, which, despite its large Caribbean population, is often a mere footnote in larger diasporic studies. Moving beyond the proclivity of viewing dancehall culture and music from a purely patriarchal misogynistic viewpoint, the article focuses on the redemptive and empowering possibilities that this popular Black expressive form holds. It underscores how dancehall culture and music challenge hegemonic scripts predicated on stereotypes of Black women’s sexuality. Despite the contradictions inherent in the music and the performance of female artists such as Lady Saw and Tanya Stephens, dancehall culture evokes women as active agents who are able to articulate their sexual desires. Keywords: sexuality, dancehall music, Black/Caribbean women, dance 183 www.sta.uwi.edu/crgs/index.asp UWI IGDS CRGS Issue 8 ISSN 1995-1108 Dedication This article is dedicated to KaosKrew (especially Philip Cole), Slim & Trim (Michael Banfield and Leslie Corion) DJ’s Quincy, Bobby B, Mark Anthony, Mike Gibbs, Wayne; my brother DJ Extacy (Dwayne Reynolds), Eddie Williams, Andy Coward, the late Michael Charles and Dorian Major (RIP) and the rest of the Tdot promoters.

Lobo-Gilbert CSU Monterey Bay MPA Recording Technology Spring 2014 THE SWELL AND CRASH OF SKA’S FIRST WAVE: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF REGGAE'S PREDECESSORS IN THE EVOLUTION OF JAMAICAN MUSIC INTRODUCTION Ska music has always been a truly extraordinary genre. With a unique musical construct, the genre carries with it a deeply cultural, sociological, and historical livelihood which, unlike any other style, has adapted and changed through three clearly-defined regional and stylistic reigns of prominence. The music its self may have changed throughout the three “waves,” but its meaning, its message, and its themes have transcended its creation and two revivals with an unmatched adaptiveness to thrive in wildly varying regional and sociocultural climates.

  • Jamaican Dancehall in the 21St Century
    Pon de Dancefloor: Jamaican Dancehall in the 21st Century Stephanie R. Espie University of Delaware [email protected] Abstract The history of Jamaican music includes Roots, Mento, Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae styles - setting the stage for the origination of the Dancehall genre in the early 1980s. While a wide range of ethnographic literature has been published on these musical foundations, few publications exist on the evolution of Dancehall in Jamaica. Dancehall has expanded in the past 10-15 years due to increasing effects of collaboration between American and Jamaican artists and DJs along with the ease of musical transmission through technology. In this ethnographic research, I have studied the evolution of Dancehall to create a portrayal of musical trends leading to the predominance of Dancehall in Jamaica. I collected data over 10 days of fieldwork in Portland, Jamaica in June of 2015. The music played by four club DJs was chosen as the focus of study because of its influence on Portland’s musical culture. Data consisted of observational field notes and 10 hours of audio recordings of local DJs in club settings. Audio recordings were analyzed for traditional beats, song length, production year, language choice, and added effects. Field notes were used as a secondary source to confirm/disconfirm the emerging musical themes from across these DJs. Findings have been compared to the existing literature to create an updated trajectory of musical trends within Dancehall. Along with contributions to the field of ethnomusicology, this research can be used in music education in informal music learning on a domestic and international level.
