«Crazy Energy» in Trans-Atlantic Soca | Norient.Com 25 Sep 2021 21:43:15 «Crazy Energy» in Trans-Atlantic Soca | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 21:43:15 «Crazy Energy» in Trans- Atlantic Soca INTERVIEW by Sam Backer Things have been shaking in soca: From road-running superstar Machel Montano collaborating with hitmaking DJ Diplo to the genre-pushing success of Bunji Garlin’s «Differentology», the genre is going through a period of serious transformation. One of the most interesting groups working to explore and expand the boundaries of soca is Jus Now, a production duo comprised of the U.K.-born DJ Interface (Sam Chadburn) and the Trinidadian LAZAbeam (Keshav Singh). Sam Backer from Afropop Worldwide emailed with the duo about their music and the future of soca. [Sam Backer]: I think it’s really interesting how Jus Now connects the dance cultures of the U.K. and Trinidad and Tobago. What do you guys see as the major difference between the two scenes? Do those differences impact the music that you make? And do you tend to aim tracks or mixes for one audience or the other? https://norient.com/blog/jus-now-soca Page 1 of 6 «Crazy Energy» in Trans-Atlantic Soca | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 21:43:15 [Sam Chadburn]: They are very different. Both have their pluses and minuses. When I’m deejaying in either country I definitely have to tailor my sets. The U.K. is definitely more open-minded to new sounds and rhythms. But in the U.K. we want our music to sound and feel a certain way, especially in the bottom end. For example, rather than play my favorite soca tracks in a U.K. rave, I would prefer to make a remix of it, so it can compete with the weight of the U.K. music I like to play. In Trinidad the sound systems quite often aren’t set up to deal with massive bass weight. There is a lot more emphasis in Trini music on rhythm and groove, and especially with soca music, there is a certain way the Trinidadians like the grooves to be. For example, with the snare placements and the bassline groove, if you stray too far from the norm some people will get confused and stop dancing! One of my favorite things about Trini parties is that you will often find a «rhythm section» accompanying the DJ, which is a group of drummers and percussionists, who actually play along to what the DJ is playing. This brings an amazing energy to the party and is something we try to bring to our live shows with Lazabeam and his live percussion. When we first started, the sounds we created as Jus Now we were kinda alien to both the Trini crowd and the U.K. crowd, but it’s nice that people are really starting to understand what we are trying to do on both sides now. [Keshav Singh]: Also, a key difference is the way that audiences/partygoers react to big tunes in a dance. In the U.K. the crowd raises their hands to the air when the drop comes, but in Trinidad a lot of the dancing happens from the waist down. As Sam said, when we first started playing out, the sound was a little alien to either side, but it’s very encouraging to see both audiences adopting characteristics from both the Trini and English style. We do strive to make music that can ultimately work in any context. That is a constant and exciting challenge. The «drop» style vs the «groove» style is something that informs a lot of the music we do. If you listen to what we’ve got out currently, there’s a mix of both of those inclinations. [SB]: Soca has been getting a lot more media attention lately. What do you think of the scene in Trindad and Tobago? Do you think it’s more active than it used to be–that it could be primed for a crossover? [KS]: As a Trinidadian it’s really encouraging to feel the momentum that’s behind our music right now. Bunji is absolutely smashing it at the moment. And with people like him, Machel Montano and Kees Dieffenthaller at the helm of our sound at the moment, we are more ready than ever to explode on a global scale. The soca scene, since its advent in the ’70s, has always been a hugely exciting thing. Tons of new music is always created during carnival time, but often that’s it… https://norient.com/blog/jus-now-soca Page 2 of 6 «Crazy Energy» in Trans-Atlantic Soca | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 21:43:15 We usually only engage in the creation of our own indigenous sound during a four-month period of the year. As you rightfully say, it is changing, and the push is more outward. What you’re seeing now is the beginning of a more diverse style of writing in the music – something that I believe will help soca in its international exploits. Until now it has mostly been centered around specifically carnival oriented themes. Speaking optimistically, there is a definite increase in the attention being paid to making the mix downs ready enough for contemporary listenership, and that is a big factor in popular music. Times are changing and it’s wicked for Sam and I to be in the thick of it as ambassadors of the sound. It’s an honor. [SC]: I can’t really comment on the history as my experience is only the past four years, but it is definitely an exciting time for soca. Caribbean music and culture in general are definitely getting a lot of limelight right now, what with the success of Major Lazer and lots of big rappers working with or sampling dancehall artists. The success that Bunji has been having with «Differentology» is incredible. That track just seemed to grow and grow and grow. Who knows where it will end up! As far as soca as a genre, I think there is still a lot of work to do before soca can be truly internationally recognized worldwide in a way that, say, reggae and dancehall are. For example, soca music is not even recognized as a category in iTunes. I also feel like carnival is both a blessing and a curse with soca music, as the whole music industry in Trinidad revolves around Carnival. It’s completely seasonal, which I find really annoying. From September to February my inbox gets bombarded with so many soca tracks that I don’t have time to listen to even half of them, and for the rest of the year, nothing! If the artists continued to create after Carnival and started writing soca music that wasn’t specifically about subjects only relevant to Carnival, the whole industry would be a whole lot healthier! Thankfully, that is starting to change a little bit now and hopefully it will continue to change to the point where soca artists are releasing music all year round and writing interesting songs over soca beats that aren’t just designed to be the next soca monarch smash but could actually appeal to a wider audience. Bunji has set the mark for that now and I think others will continue to help with that growth. [SB]: What were some of your favorite tracks from this year’s Carnival, or just from soca lately? [SC]: Lead Pipe, «Drink Till Morning»: This one crept up on me this year – the amount of new soca music that gets released over carnival is quite overwhelming. You quickly get to know the tracks from the biggest artists, as you will hear them over and over, but then every year you get quality music by the lesser-known artists that build momentum a bit more slowly throughout the season. This one became my favorite by the end of Carnival. https://norient.com/blog/jus-now-soca Page 3 of 6 «Crazy Energy» in Trans-Atlantic Soca | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 21:43:15 JoJo, «Shake Dat»: Another one from a lesser-known artist that smashed it for me this year – very simple, not a lot of lyrics and quite a stripped-down beat. It could almost pass for a house track. Wicked vibes. Farmer Nappy, «Big People Party»: I loved this one as soon as I heard it. When De Red Boyz production team from Barbados gets in the studio with Farmer Nappy they are a great combination! I love the Red Boyz’s productions. I love electronic music with soca, but I also love it with real instruments and De Red Boyz are great at producing modern soca with a classic sound. [KS]: I’d definitely agree on those. I’d also like to highlight the producers that have been making big strides in soca music. London Future (currently released on Mad Decent subsidiary Jeffree’s), Precision Production (producers of the «Sando Riddim» and countless Road March winners), Sheriff (producer of «Differentology») and Madmen Productions have really stepped the game up. In Barbados, definitely De Red Boyz are world class, and Studio B («Drink Till Morning» and «Redlight District» by Bunji) are sick! [SB]: How do you approach a track when you’re making it? Does one person tend to start the track, and the other expand on the initial idea? Or is it fairly back and forth? [SC]: We both have very different skill sets, which is why I think we work really well as a team. It’s usually Keshav who will bring the rhythm and the music vibes.

  • Celebrating Our Calypso Monarchs 1939- 1980
    Celebrating our Calypso Monarchs 1939-1980 T&T History through the eyes of Calypso Early History Trinidad and Tobago as most other Caribbean islands, was colonized by the Europeans. What makes Trinidad’s colonial past unique is that it was colonized by the Spanish and later by the English, with Tobago being occupied by the Dutch, Britain and France several times. Eventually there was a large influx of French immigrants into Trinidad creating a heavy French influence. As a result, the earliest calypso songs were not sung in English but in French-Creole, sometimes called patois. African slaves were brought to Trinidad to work on the sugar plantations and were forbidden to communicate with one another. As a result, they began to sing songs that originated from West African Griot tradition, kaiso (West African kaito), as well as from drumming and stick-fighting songs. The song lyrics were used to make fun of the upper class and the slave owners, and the rhythms of calypso centered on the African drum, which rival groups used to beat out rhythms. Calypso tunes were sung during competitions each year at Carnival, led by chantwells. These characters led masquerade bands in call and response singing. The chantwells eventually became known as calypsonians, and the first calypso record was produced in 1914 by Lovey’s String Band. Calypso music began to move away from the call and response method to more of a ballad style and the lyrics were used to make sometimes humorous, sometimes stinging, social and political commentaries. During the mid and late 1930’s several standout figures in calypso emerged such as Atilla the Hun, Roaring Lion, and Lord Invader and calypso music moved onto the international scene.

    Society for Ethnomusicology 60th Annual Meeting, 2015 Abstracts Walking, Parading, and Footworking Through the City: Urban collectively entrained and individually varied. Understanding their footwork Processional Music Practices and Embodied Histories as both an enactment of sedimented histories and a creative process of Marié Abe, Boston University, Chair, – Panel Abstract reconfiguring the spatial dynamics of urban streets, I suggest that a sense of enticement emerges from the oscillation between these different temporalities, In Michel de Certeau’s now-famous essay, “Walking the City,” he celebrates particularly within the entanglement of western imperialism and the bodily knowing of the urban environment as a resistant practice: a relational, development of Japanese capitalist modernity that informed the formation of kinesthetic, and ephemeral “anti-museum.” And yet, the potential for one’s chindon-ya. walking to disrupt the social order depends on the walker’s racial, ethnic, gendered, national and/or classed subjectivities. Following de Certeau’s In a State of Belief: Postsecular Modernity and Korean Church provocations, this panel investigates three distinct urban, processional music Performance in Kazakhstan traditions in which walking shapes participants’ relationships to the past, the Margarethe Adams, Stony Brook University city, and/or to each other. For chindon-ya troupes in Osaka - who perform a kind of musical advertisement - discordant walking holds a key to their "The postsecular may be less a new phase of cultural development than it is a performance of enticement, as an intersection of their vested interests in working through of the problems and contradictions in the secularization producing distinct sociality, aesthetics, and history. For the Shanghai process itself" (Dunn 2010:92).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Take a Wine and Roll “IT”!: Breaking Through the Circumscriptive Politics of the Trini/Caribbean Dancing Body A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Critical Dance Studies by Adanna Kai Jones March 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Anthea Kraut, Chairperson Dr. Marta E. Savigliano Dr. Amalia Cabezas Copyright by Adanna Kai Jones 2016 The Dissertation of Adanna Kai Jones is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS You know how at fundraisers they say, “Every penny counts,” well the same applies to the process of dissertating. Every hug, every smile, every cheer, every piece of advice, every rough draft read, every second of listening, every book borrowed, every meal offered, every dollar granted, and every prayer sent on my behalf, all of these moments pushed me closer to the very real moment of completion. According to the south African philosophy of ubuntu, meaning “I am because we are,” I could only have made it here because of each and every one of you who hugged, smiled, cheered, mentored, read, listened, shared, cooked, and prayed for me. We all participated in a journey that has not only changed how I approach learning and teaching, but it has also changed how I view myself, as well as my purpose in this world. For each and every one of these necessary moments, I am eternally grateful. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, mind, and soul. And now it is time for the “shout-outs!” With regards to funding for my research in both Trinidad and Barbados, I am grateful for the support of the Dissertation Research Grant and the Dissertation Year Program Fellowship, both of which were received through the University of California, Riverside.

Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education 15 (3) 151 Providing Contexts for Understanding Musical Narratives of Power in the Classroom: Music, Politics, and Power in Grenada, West Indies Danielle Sirek University of Windsor The role of music in Grenada, West Indies has traditionally been to pass on knowledges, values, and ideals; and to provide a means of connecting to one another through expressing commonality of experience, ancestry, and nationhood. This paper explores how Eric Matthew Gairy, during his era of political leadership in Grenada (1951-1979), exploited the transmission and performance of music in very specific ways to further his career politically and exert power over Grenadian society. This historical case study of Grenada, where music was deliberately used as a method of supporting perceived social and political binaries, sheds light upon the power dynamics that are at play when we uplift certain musics in the classroom, and silence others.
