N. Savishinsky Transnational Popular Culture and the Global Spread of The
N. Savishinsky Transnational popular culture and the global spread of the Jamaican Rastafarian movement Discusses the spread of the Rastafarian movement in the British Caribbean, North America, Europe, Africa, New Zealand, and the Pacific. In the vast majority of cases it has been reggae music which has functioned as the primary catalyst for spreading the religion and culture of Rastafari beyond Jamaica. In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 68 (1994), no: 3/4, Leiden, 259-281 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 11:30:01PM via free access NEIL J. SAVISHINSKY TRANSNATIONAL POPULAR CULTURE AND THE GLOBAL SPREAD OF THE JAMAICAN RASTAFARIAN MOVEMENT INTRODUCTION The need to place culture in a broader, more globally-based perspective has never been more crucial than it is today, as powerful transnational concerns, acting in concert with the omnipresent (and increasingly omnipotent) forces of a rapidly expanding electronic Communications industry, have nearly succeeded in consolidating the entire planet into a single unified sys- tem.' But until recently most social scientists engaged in world systems research have focused solely on the political and economie aspects of glob- alization, leaving unexamined vast and relatively uncharted areas of cul- tural interconnectedness (in the realms of art, music, cinema, fashion, sports, and religion, for example). This article attempts to redress some of these omissions, by focusing on processes relating to the diff usion and globalization of "culture." The Jamai- can Rastafarian movement and its attendant forms of expression are central to this study. With the increasing availability of low cost/highly sophisticated technologies, widespread transnational corporate expansion, global media- ization, and the commoditization of culture which inevitably arises from the combined actions of these agents (cf.

The recognition that Bob Marley received, both during his life and after his death, is comparatively different between the two countries. As iconic as Marley is, why is his message and legacy different in the United States and most of his recognition not received till after his death? The researcher explores how Marley’s message was received in the two countries and whether his audience understood his philosophy and message in the same way. Results indicate that the communication of his thoughts were heard somewhat differently in Jamaica and the United States. Finally, this study presents recommendations for future research.

Alpha Blondy Jah Victory
ALPHA BLONDY « JAH VICTORY » Reggae became a planetary music thanks to Bob Marley. But if this now universal style of music has become the voice of the voiceless, the CNN of ghettos worldwide and one of the main musics on the African continent, it’s also thanks to Alpha Blondy, messenger of reggae music in the Ivory Coast. Alpha has been in Jamaica to record his music since his very first album Cocody Rock !!! , released in 1984, partially produced by the famous jamaican beatmaker Clive Hunt. « It’s Clive, a Jamaican, who told me I should sing in african language and create my own style. We went to the Hope Road studio with The Wailers », Alpha remembers. « And in a nick of time, we made “Cocody Rock“. It was mixed the next day ». This time, Alpha chose the ex-Wailer Tyrone Downie and the « riddim twins » Sly & Robbie to work on his new album Jah Victory , the one that’s gonna be praised by his most demanding fans. The story of this record is the story of a certain idea of faith. Faith of Alpha Blondy for his music, his destiny, his God. « At every step of the way, God has appeared. We were in Paris mixing and after the recording was over in Jamaica, I felt like adding new songs. I told Tyrone “you know, if Sly & Robbie were here, they would do the rhythm“. Half an hour later, someone pops his head in the studio and Tyrone recognized him at once : “Hey Robbie ! What are you doing here ?“ He was giving a concert and he popped by the studio to pick up a bass guitar.

JULIAN MARLEY SHORT BIOGRAPHY Born in London
JULIAN MARLEY SHORT BIOGRAPHY Born in London, England on June 4, 1975, Julian Marley is the son of reggae legend Bob Marley and Barbados-born Lucy Pounder. Growing up as a youth in a musical atmosphere, the Grammy Award Nominated roots-reggae musician, singer-songwriter, producer and humanitarian quickly adopted a musical lifestyle, and at an early age and became a skillful, self-taught musician mastering the bass, drums, guitar and keyboards. During Julian‟s formative years in Jamaica, he began to study under legendary reggae veterans such as Aston “Family Man” Barrett, Carlton Barrett, Earl “Wire” Lindo, Tyrone Downie and Earl “Chinna” Smith, all of whom inspired the then fledgling song-bird. In 1996, Julian released his debut entitled, Lion in the Morning, which launched him into the public eye. The album was a conscious effort and culmination of his musical development to date and reflected Julian‟s growing maturity and musical sophistication. Recorded at Tuff Gong studios in Jamaica, Lion in the Morning is Julian‟s own testament that clearly reflects his roots and heritage. The record was followed by a successful International tour with The Uprising, which included performances in Jamaica, New York City, Japan, Brazil and Mexico. In 1998, Julian contributed a vast range of musical elements to singer Lauryn Hill‟s Grammy Award winning album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, including playing guitar on the single, “Forgive Them Father”. In 2003, Julian joined his siblings Stephen, Cedella, Damian, and Kymani to contribute a version of the single, „Master Blaster‟ for Stevie Wonder's tribute album entitled, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder Songs.

Background of the Study Music has its own meaning to the person who listens to it in the different way. Some music lovers say music is an expression on people’s soul, but some other says it is just a merger of several instrume nts which can produce some noise. Just like trend, music is also changing. In 1950s -1960s, the music rock n roll, calypso, rhythm and blues, and s ka were successful to be a phenomenon in the circles of music lovers. In 1966, a new music genre called rock steady was also crashed the music world, and then it is followed by the birth of new music style named reggae in 1970s that was suddenly sucked the attention of all people in the world. Reggae is generally characterized by drumming style that has its patte rn “thump-thump, pause, thump-thump”. Some literatures say reggae was in its golden age in 1967 and become the most popular phenomenon in 1970s -1980s, it was centered in Kingston, Jamaica. Some people argues that reggae was adopted from folk music, church music ‘pocomania’, band jonkanoo, farmer rituals, and mento.
