  • The Dub Issue 23 April 2018
    1 2 Editorial Dub Front cover – Queen Ifrica – photograph of an original painting by Haile Mecael Dear Reader, Welcome to issue 23 for the month of Reuben. A sad month for many of us here in Oxford with the passing from prostate cancer on March 28 of Ras Brother John aka BJ, who featured on the cover of The Dub’s January 2018 issue. He will be much missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and close friends. There are several interviews this month: Alex Caramellino aka Jah Fingers, GT Moore and Gary Constant with the first part of an interview that digs deep into Oxford’s sound system history of the early 70s. There will be more interviews with others who have been involved in our town’s reggae history in future issues. There are lots of events in this month’s Dub Diary featuring friends and contributors to The Dub, including Asher Messenjah, Jah Lion Movement, Field Frequency, Ali Zion and High Grade. I would like to offer a heartfelt salute to those who continue to write for The Dub and support the magazine in other ways – Steve Mosco, Pete Clack, Leo B, Ali Zion, Simon Wade, Jawara Ellis, Jah Porter, Zioness, Lew Lewis M, Asher Messenjah, Jules Dalitz and Natty Mark. Welcome to The Dub Editor – Dan-I [email protected] The Dub magazine is not funded and has no sponsors. While this allows for artistic freedom, it also means that money for printing is very limited. If anyone is interested in printed copies, they should contact me directly and I can ask our printers, Parchment of Oxford, to get some of the issues required for the cost of £2 each.

  • Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto's Transnational Re
    King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 by John Jason Collins Wilson A dissertation Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © John Jason Collins Wilson, May 2013 ABSTRACT King Alpha’s Song in a Strange Land: Jamaican Migrant and Canadian Host in Toronto’s Transnational Reggae Music Scene, 1973-1990 John Jason Collins Wilson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Doctor Catharine Wilson Reggae music facilitated a cultural dialogue between Jamaican migrant and Canadian host in Toronto during the 1970s and 1980s. Exchanges flowed across the city’s ethnic frontier, bridging black and white youth together in an ‘oppositional’ and musical movement. While migrants enacted their Jamaican ethnicity in places where reggae was played, many non-Jamaicans satisfied a curiosity in the music of their migrant friends. This study examines the process of migration of people and music as seen from both the migrant and the host’s perspective. It is as much about black Jamaicans as it is about white Torontonians. Twenty Jamaicans and twenty non-Jamaicans were interviewed for this project. Though reggae became an expected part of Toronto’s musical vernacular, the Canadian version meant different things to different people. Indeed, sometimes the only thread that tied the varied experiences together was that Toronto was the place where reggae happened. Still, as a hybrid, reggae had rather evolved outside of place. It was a transnational musical form, constantly updated by influences traversing the ‘Black Atlantic’ in an on-going and triangular musical conversation.
