Lobo-Gilbert CSU Monterey Bay MPA Recording Technology Spring 2014 THE SWELL AND CRASH OF SKA’S FIRST WAVE: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF REGGAE'S PREDECESSORS IN THE EVOLUTION OF JAMAICAN MUSIC INTRODUCTION Ska music has always been a truly extraordinary genre. With a unique musical construct, the genre carries with it a deeply cultural, sociological, and historical livelihood which, unlike any other style, has adapted and changed through three clearly-defined regional and stylistic reigns of prominence. The music its self may have changed throughout the three “waves,” but its meaning, its message, and its themes have transcended its creation and two revivals with an unmatched adaptiveness to thrive in wildly varying regional and sociocultural climates.

  • 55. Desmond Dekker and the Aces You Can Get It If You Really Want (For Unit 3 Developing Musical Understanding)
    55. Desmond Dekker and the Aces You can get it if you really want (For Unit 3 Developing Musical Understanding) Background information and Performance Circumstances • This song was written by the Jamaican musician and composer, Jimmy Cliff. Born in 1948, he has had a long career in music, and his songs have been recorded by many artists. He has also appeared as an actor in films, most notably ‘The Harder they come’ (1972), in which he plays a reggae musician. • Desmond Dekker and the Aces made this recording, by some accounts rather unwillingly, in 1970, but it became a hit in the UK and America, reaching number 2 in the UK chart the same year. • The style is Rocksteady, a sub-genre of Reggae, which, along with Ska, began to make an impact in the musical world outside Jamaica in the early 1970’s. • The subject matter of the song is in line with that of much Reggae and can be interpreted as part of the fight for justice. One of the strengths of the song’s lyrics is that they can be applied to a variety of causes. • The song mixes influences freely: Cuban/Mexican style trumpet lines, Ska and rocksteady organ and bass parts, and ‘doo-wop’ backing vocals, derived from 1950s American music. Performing forces and their handling • Lead vocals (Dekker), joined in the chorus by female backing vocals, singing in rhythmic unison above the melody. The close harmony style here is influenced by 1950s American music. • Vocal lines are highly repetitive and use a relatively small range of notes, especially in the chorus.

  • Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff & Co (Produktions-Nr. L72) Für Montag
    Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff & Co (Produktions-Nr. L72) für Montag, 24.11.2008 LEXIKADIO - Opener Hallo und Herzlich Willkommen zu zwei Stunden Reggae-Musik auf der 92fünf. Das heißt aber nicht, dass Lexikadio heute zwei Stunden auf Sendung ist. Stefan Hauschild und ich haben uns ein gemeinsames Thema ausgedacht, dass sowohl in Lexikadio als auch in “Käpt´n Momo ´s Ragga Mix” vorgetragen wird. Außerdem ist heute Montag, der 24. November 2008. Rund vier Wochen noch, dann ist Heiligabend. Es geht in den kommenden zwei Stunden um die Anfänge der Reggae- Musik, die in der zweiten Hälfte der 60er Jahre aus dem jamaikanischen Ska entstanden ist. In der ersten Stunde heißt das Thema “Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff & Co”. Reggae-Musik gemischt mit Popklängen machte Jimmy Cliff bereits schon 1973. Hier ist ON MY LIFE. JIMMY CLIFF - On My Life (1973) Jimmy Cliff wurde am 1. April 1942 in Kingston, Jamaica geboren. Aus anderen Büchern ist zu entnehmen, daß er 6 Jahre später erst am 1. April 1948 in Somertone District of St. James als James Chambers das Licht der Welt erblickte. Wie dem auch sei, er war derjenige, der bei uns die Reggae-Musik so populär machte wie kein anderer und wurde auch als der “König des Reggae” genannt. Einer seiner Langspielplatten hieß demnach auch “King Of Reggae”. Seine Karriere begann 1965 in London, wo er in kleinen Clubs auftrat. Die erste Single, mit der Jimmy Cliff bei uns in Deutschland bekannt wurde, hieß HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL und erschien im Dezember 1967. JIMMY CLIFF - Hard Road To Travel (1967) Nicht “King Of Reggae”, sondern “King Of Ska” hieß eine Single von Desmond Dekker, die 1964 in Jamaika erschien.

  • SKA PIONIER DESMOND DEKKER OVERLEDEN Desmond Dekker
    SKA PIONIER DESMOND DEKKER OVERLEDEN Desmond Dekker, die voor het eerst de wereld liet kennismaken met de Jamaïcaanse ska door middel van songs als ‘Israelites’, overleed op donderdag 25 mei jongstleden. Hij was vierenzestig jaar oud. Desmond stierf in zijn huis in Surrey, UK aan een hartaanval. Hij was gescheiden, en laat een zoon en een dochter na. Desmond werd geboren op 16 juli 1941 als Desmond Adolphus Dacres in Kingston, Jamaica, en verloor zijn ouders reeds als teenager. Hij begon met zingen terwijl hij werkte als lasser, en zijn collega’s moedigden hem aan. In 1961 deed hij audities voor Coxsone Dood (Studio One) en voor Duke Reid (Treasure Isle). Geen van beiden waren onder de indruk van zijn talent en hij stapte dan maar naar het Beverley platenlabel van Leslie Kong. Daar deed hij nogmaals auditie voor Derrick Morgan, die toentertijd de grootste ster op dat label was. Met de hulp van deze laatste kreeg hij een platencontract aangeboden, maar het zou nog tot 1963 duren voor Desmond iets zou opnemen. Eigenaar Kong wou immers wachten op de perfecte song, en dat werd ‘Honour Your Father and Mother’. Het nummer werd een hit en kreeg daarna de songs ‘Sinners Come Home’ en ‘Labour for Learning’ als hitopvolgers. Desmond paste zijn artiestennaam aan, en Desmond Dacres werd Desmond Dekker. Zijn vierde hit, ‘King of Ska’, promoveerde hem tot één van de grootste sterren op het eiland. Het was een onverfijnd maar vreugdevol lied waarop hij bijgestaan werd door The Cherrypies (ook bekend als The Maytals). Daarop rekruteerde Desmond vier broers: Carl, Patrick, Clive en Barry Howard, als zijn achtergrondkoortje, The Four Aces.
