Rocksteady: the Roots of Reggae – Teil 1 Inhalt mit Laufzeit Musik, Geschichte für Sek I und Sek II Rocksteady: The Roots of Reggae Teil 1 43:14 Minuten 02:30 „Wenn ich auf mein Leben zurückblicke, merke ich, wie viel Glück ich hatte: Singen, Tanzen und Musik zu machen, seit ich ein Junge war. Aber etwas machte mich traurig: Unsere Musik würde in Vergessenheit geraten, wenn wir unsere Geschichte nicht erzählen“ – so der Jamaikaner Stranger Cole, welcher durch den Film begleitet. 04:22 Stranger Cole und seine MusikerkollegInnen treffen sich nach Jahrzehnten in Kingston, der Hauptstadt von Jamaika, zu einem Rock- steady Reunion. Hier wollen sie ein «Greatest Hits»-Album aufneh- men, ein Konzert geben und ihre Geschichte erzählen. Vergangene Zeiten sollen während des Treffens noch einmal aufleben – auch im lokalen Radiostudio Hot 102 FM. «Rough and Tough» 06:42 Rocksteady sei für sie die Mutter des Reggae, erzählt der 1962 Trommler Sly Dunbar. Vor Rocksteady spielte man in Jamaika den schnellen und beliebten Ska, erinnert sich Stranger Cole. Mitte der sechziger Jahre veränderte sich die Musik dann hin zum langsameren Rocksteady. Das entsprach dem damals ruhigen und lockeren Le- bensstil. «Take it Easy» 08:35 Einer der ersten, der den Ska-Rhythmus verlangsamte, war der 1966 Sänger Hopeton Lewis. Er bat Gladstone Anderson, langsamer zu spielen. Hopeton Lewis‘ erstes Lied, «Take it Easy», war sofort ein Hit. 10:54 Im Jahr 1962 erlangte Jamaika die Unabhängigkeit von Gross- britannien. Die Hauptstadt Kingston zog Leute, Geld, Investoren und Projekte der Regierung an. Kingston war ein angesagter Ort. «Silent River Runs Deep» 11:40 Judy Mowatt kam im Alter von 13 Jahren nach Kingston. Aretha 1968 Franklin, Dionne Warwick und die Staple Singers beeinflussten und inspirierten die Autodidaktin. Ihre allererste Aufnahme mit The Gaylet- tes wurde zum Hit in Jamaika: «Silent River Runs Deep». Es ist Judy Mowatts Überzeugung, dass Musik glücklich mache und vor allem die Seele berühre. 17:50 Der Gitarrist und Band Leader Ernest Ranglin erzählt, dass Ska ihre erste Musik mit ihrer ganz eigenen Handschrift war. Rocksteady war die langsamere Variante. Für Reggae gab es kein bestimmtes Rezept – man machte einfach sein eigenes Ding. 20:17 Für Marcia Griffiths war diese Ära eine der besten: Die Rock- steady-Musik war frisch und unverfälscht. Die Sängerin hat damit zwar kein Geld verdient, aber aus dem Herzen gesungen. srf.ch/myschool 1/2 Inhalt mit Laufzeit Rocksteady: The Roots of Reggae – Teil 1 «Love me Today» 21:02 An der Alpha Boys School in Kingston erhielten viele der gros- 1967 sen jamaikanischen Jazz-, Ska-, Rocksteady- und Reggae- MusikerInnen ihre musikalische Ausbildung. Der Saxophonist Deadly Headley besuchte diese über 100-jährige katholische Schule. Zusam- men mit Stranger Cole und dem Pianisten, Sänger und Komponisten Gladstone Anderson singt er «Love me Today». 26:28 Für Judy Mowatt war die Rocksteady-Ära eine romantische und gewaltfreie Zeit – die Menschen hatten einfach Spass. 27:27 Marcia Griffiths ist in Hannah Town, Kingston, Jamaika, gebo- ren. Der Vater war Zimmermann, die Mutter Hausfrau. Judy Mowatt und Marcia Griffiths tauschen Erinnerungen aus und schauen alte Fo- tos an. Sie traten zusammen mit Rita Marley, der Frau von Bob Marley, auf. Daraus entstanden die I-Threes. 29:41 Mit Bob Marley realisierten die Sängerinnen das Album «Natty Dread». Die Zusammenarbeit klappte hervorragend. Sie gingen mit Bob Marley und The Wailers auf Tour. Der erste Auftritt fand in Boston vor 200 Zuschauern statt. 1980, bei der letzten Europatour mit Bob Marley, spielten sie vor 100000 Zuschauern. «The Tide is High» 32:16 «The Tide is High» – hier ein Auftritt am Jammins Reggae Festi- 1967 val in Brooklyn, New York – sei nicht nur ein Liebeslied, sondern auch ein Song der Hoffnung und eine Reflexion des Lebens, das sie lebten, meint Stranger Cole. 34:33 „Die Musik ist unsere stärkste Waffe. Wir sind auf sie angewie- sen, um die Menschen dieser Welt zusammen zu bringen. Denn das ist alles, was wir haben.“ Marcia Griffiths weiter: „Ich bin Zeugin des- sen, was Bob Marley tat. Und ich weiss, dass das nie vergebens sein wird.“ 35:25 Am 21. April 1966 stattet der äthiopische Kaiser Haile Selassie der Insel einen Staatsbesuch ab. Tausende von JamaikanerInnen kommen zum Flughafen, um den schwarzen Herrscher zu begrüssen. Für Stranger Cole eine grossartige Erfahrung. „Wir Rastafari glauben, dass Haile Selassies Ankunft im letzten Buch der Bibel, der Offenba- rung, prophezeit war. Er ist der verheissene Messias der Heiligen Schrift.“ «Rivers of Babylon» 38:48 Dermot Fagan stellt sich vor: „Priester des Kaisers Haile Selas- 1968 sie, Schule der Visionen, Bibelstudien, Prophezeiungen und Gottes- dienste.“ «Rivers of Babylon» wolle die Sklaverei aufzeigen. Bands wie die Melodians, so Stranger Cole, verwandelten solche traditionelle, Afrika-inspirierte Lieder in Rocksteady. «Rivers of Babylon» wurde später ein Disko-Hit. srf.ch/myschool 2/2 .

When you read inside, you'll see why. May their days overflow with blessings. This will be the first issue available only online. But for those that want hard copies, contact Parchment Printers: £1 a copy! We've done well to have issued fourteen in hard copy, when you think that Fire! (of the Harlem Renaissance), Legitime Defense and Pan African were one issue publications - and Revue du Monde Noir was issued six times. We're lucky to have what they didn't have – the online link. So I salute again the support we have from Sista Mariana at Rastaites and Marco Fregnan of Reggaediscography. Another salute also to Ali Zion, for taking The Dub to Aylesbury (five venues) - and here, there and everywhere she goes.

Photographie de quatrième de couverture : Mikey Dread. © .. pour les illustrations. © Lloyd Bradley, . © Éditions Allia, Paris, , , pour la traduction française. Pour Diana, Georges et Elissa. “Les gens pour lesquels le reggae a été inventé ne l ’ont jamais décomposé en styles distincts. Non. C ’est une musique qui vient de l ’esclavage, en passant par le colo nialisme, donc c ’est bien plus qu ’un simple style. Venant par la route de la patate ou la route des bananes ou les flancs des collines, les gens chantent. Pour se débar - rasser de leurs frustrations et élever leur esprit, les gens chan tent. C’était aussi une forme de distraction pendant les week-ends, que ce soit à l ’église ou à une “neuf nuits ” , ou simplement devant . Une veillée caribéenne se pro longe ta maison, tu allais te mettre à chanter. Tu chantes en taillant ta traditionnellement pen dant neuf nuits. (Toutes les notes sont du traducteur.) haie, tu chantes en bêchant ton jardin. La musique est une vibra- tion. C ’est un mode de vie. Il faut bien comprendre que ce n ’est pas seulement cette musique que l ’on joue : c ’est un peuple … une culture … une attitude, un mode de vie qui émane d ’un peuple. ” Bass Culture : quand le reggae était roi a été une véritable aventure. Elle m’a emmené en Jamaïque, à New York, à Miami, dans certains quartiers de Londres dont j’avais oublié l’existence, et dans les recoins les plus profonds de ma collection de disques.

  • Le Reggae.Qxp
    1 - Présentation Dossier d’accompagnement de la conférence / concert du vendredi 10 octobre 2008 proposée dans le cadre du projet d’éducation artistique des Trans et des Champs Libres. “Le reggae” Conférence de Alex Mélis Concert de Keefaz & D-roots Dans la galaxie des musiques actuelles, le reggae occupe une place singulière. Héritier direct du mento, du calypso et du ska, son avènement en Jamaïque à la fin des années soixante doit beaucoup aux musiques africaines et cubaines, mais aussi au jazz et à la soul. Et puis, il est lui-même à la source d'autres esthétiques comme le dub, qui va se développer parallèlement, et le ragga, qui apparaîtra à la fin des années quatre-vingt. Au cours de cette conférence, nous retracerons la naissance du reggae sur fond de "sound systems", de culture rastafari, et des débuts de l'indépendance de la Jamaïque. Nous expliquerons ensuite de quelle façon le reggae des origi- nes - le "roots reggae" - s'est propagé en s'"occidentalisant" et en se scindant en plusieurs genres bien distincts, qui vont du très brut au très sophistiqué. Enfin, nous montrerons tous les liens qui se sont tissés au fil des années entre la famille du reggae et celles du rock, du rap, des musiques électroniques, de la chanson, sans oublier des musiques spécifiques d'autres régions du globe comme par exemple le maloya de La Réunion. Alors, nous comprendrons comment la musique d'une petite île des Caraïbes est devenue une musique du monde au sens le plus vrai du terme, puisqu'il existe aujourd'hui des scènes reggae et dub très vivaces et toujours en évolution sur tous les continents, des Amériques à l'Afrique en passant par l'Asie et l'Europe, notamment en Angleterre, en Allemagne et en France.
