  • The Funky Diaspora

    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.

    Lesson Plan #8 Tonight's Top Story

    Lesson Plan #8 Tonight’s Top Story Celebrating Black History Month Audience: Junior or senior high aged students or individuals Achievements: Exploring educational standards for English, Creative Writing, History, Civics, Public Speaking skills; Researching significant people and events in American and world history; Compiling details of a historical figure or event into a written paper or oral presentation. Activity: Lights, camera, action! Turn your classroom into the set of a network news station, and turn students into news reporters. Spend part of a class period discussing the developments of American music history and the significance of African Americans in the origins of rock ‘n’ roll and soul music. This activity would be best executed following a field trip to the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, which offers an extensive and comprehensive historical outline of the development of America’s musical genres from early rural music and field hollers through the creation of rock ‘n’ roll and soul music and to the present. Assign this activity before your museum visit, but executing it afterwards. Have students select an African American musician, producer or disc jockey who has made significant contributions to their field. Some possibilities would include Otis Redding, W.C. Handy, B.B. King, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Barry Gordy, Russell Simmons, Robert Johnson, Leontyne Price, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Tina Turner, Rufus Thomas, Quincy Jones, Mahalia Jackson. An extensive list and accompanying biographies are available at www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmpeople6.html. Students may also choose to research an event or entity like Wattstax, WDIA Radio, STAX Records, Hi Records, Soul Train or Motown Records.
