Neil Foster spiritualises Carole Lateman lets us into her life John Howard rocks it up in Las Vegas Keith gets to know more about Iain Terry Soul Kitchen, Jazz Junction, Blues Rambling And more... 1 The recent piece by Tony Papard has spurred me to write a little about the paranormal and the arguments both for and against it. First, an experience (concerning a communication from the dead) that my mother had. She once told me that she often used to wake up in the middle of the night to see her late father standing by the bed, not as a vague shape, but as real-looking as if he were still alive. I asked her if she was frightened by the apparition and she replied, “Well, I didn't like it but I knew he wasn't real, so I pulled the clothes over my head and went back to sleep.” So, did she really see her dead father standing by the bed or...? Obviously, she could never “prove” that it happened as she described and no one else could prove that it didn't. However, there is a way around this logical impasse.

Furthermore, while Bob's relationship with the Rastafarian community is touched on, Steffens doesn't seem particularly interested in delving very deeply into this aspect of the story and the book suffers as a result. Loading comments… Trouble loading? I live the style too, through the words of others like the Bill Graham biography. See details. His portrayal of both Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh is well wrought with their distinct, uncompromising personalties well defined. Paperback , pages. Want to Read saving…. I would recommend this book for any Marley lover or scholar as it does contain quite a varied and interesting collection of voices. Linton Kwesi Johnson Introduction. Other bios provide documentation and the results of research; this one provides only opinions. Written in the so called words of Bobs friends and associates , the book did not come close to living up to my expectations. Books by Roger Steffens. Steffens gives the band members of the Wailers their just due as they move from the local recording studios of Kingston to worldwide prominence and the difficulties they experienced in adjusting to life outside the insular world of Jamaica. However, this didn't actually have any quotes from him, just from people who worked with him or knew him Mar 13, Brian White rated it liked it. I knew most of them. And if everyone seems to think Island Records head Chris Blackwell to be such a vampire of JA culture, wouldn't a word or two from him in his defense be appropriate? Highly Recommended.

  • The Birth and Growth of Ro
    THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF ROGER STEFFENS’ Reggae Archives Archives, story and photos by “Ras RoJah” Steffens Way back in the summer of 1973, an extraordinary and revealing article appeared in Rolling Stone by a gonzo journalist from Australia named Michael Thomas. Under the heading “The Wild Side of Paradise,” in vivid mad-cap prose, Thomas told a brief history of this new Jamaican music called “reggae,” and alerted American readers to its manifold mysteries and pleasures. I cut it out and put it in a manila folder -- and now, looking back -- I recognize it as the unwitting start of Roger Steffens’ Reggae Archives. I never set out to build a collection that would grow to fi ll six rooms of our home in Los Angeles, plus a basement storage space at a museum design fi rm in Pasadena, not to mention the dozens of cartons stored in our garage and bedroom closets. Need I say I am married to the world’s most patient wife? Without Mary’s active connivance, none of this would ever have happened, for she has taken virtually every step of the reggae trod at my side, meeting Bob Marley and Sunsplashing throughout the ‘80s and running tech for me in worldwide “Life of Bob Marley” multi-media presentations as far afi eld as the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Martinique and Guam, from Auckland to Alberta, Perth to Paris. I’ve always been a writer and a lecturer, two interests abetted by my training as an actor, so whenever a subject interests me, I begin to keep a fi le on it, in case someday I might like to write or speak about it.

  • Rastalogy in Tarrus Riley's “Love Created I”
    Rastalogy in Tarrus Riley’s “Love Created I” Darren J. N. Middleton Texas Christian University f art is the engine that powers religion’s vehicle, then reggae music is the 740hp V12 underneath the hood of I the Rastafari. Not all reggae music advances this movement’s message, which may best be seen as an anticolonial theo-psychology of black somebodiness, but much reggae does, and this is because the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley OM, aka Tuff Gong, took the message as well as the medium and left the Rastafari’s track marks throughout the world.1 Scholars have been analyzing such impressions for years, certainly since the melanoma-ravaged Marley transitioned on May 11, 1981 at age 36. Marley was gone too soon.2 And although “such a man cannot be erased from the mind,” as Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga said at Marley’s funeral, less sanguine critics left others thinking that Marley’s demise caused reggae music’s engine to cough, splutter, and then die.3 Commentators were somewhat justified in this initial assessment. In the two decades after Marley’s tragic death, for example, reggae music appeared to abandon its roots, taking on a more synthesized feel, leading to electronic subgenres such as 1 This is the basic thesis of Carolyn Cooper, editor, Global Reggae (Kingston, Jamaica: Canoe Press, 2012). In addition, see Kevin Macdonald’s recent biopic, Marley (Los Angeles, CA: Magonlia Home Entertainment, 2012).

  • The Funky Diaspora
    The Funky Diaspora: The Diffusion of Soul and Funk Music across The Caribbean and Latin America Thomas Fawcett XXVII Annual ILLASA Student Conference Feb. 1-3, 2007 Introduction In 1972, a British band made up of nine West Indian immigrants recorded a funk song infused with Caribbean percussion called “The Message.” The band was Cymande, whose members were born in Jamaica, Guyana, and St. Vincent before moving to England between 1958 and 1970.1 In 1973, a year after Cymande recorded “The Message,” the song was reworked by a Panamanian funk band called Los Fabulosos Festivales. The Festivales titled their fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy version “El Mensaje.” A year later the song was covered again, this time slowed down to a crawl and set to a reggae beat and performed by Jamaican singer Tinga Stewart. This example places soul and funk music in a global context and shows that songs were remade, reworked and reinvented across the African diaspora. It also raises issues of migration, language and the power of music to connect distinct communities of the African diaspora. Soul and funk music of the 1960s and 1970s is widely seen as belonging strictly in a U.S. context. This paper will argue that soul and funk music was actually a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that disseminated across Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Soul and funk was copied and reinvented in a wide array of Latin American and Caribbean countries including Brazil, Panama, Jamaica, Belize, Peru and the Bahamas. This paper will focus on the music of the U.S., Brazil, Panama and Jamaica while highlighting the political consciousness of soul and funk music.
