  • 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.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • Roddy Radiation Brings the Vibe to the Parlour
    The Specials’ Roddy Radiation Brings The Vibe To The Parlour Photo by Lisa Gourley On a Sunday it’s common to just stay in, relax and gear up for the upcoming week. This past Sunday at The Parlour was an exception as ska royalty entered the building for what was going to be a righteous time. Founding member and guitarist from English ska legends The Specials, Roddy Radiation, was rolling through town as part of his tour with Baltimore and Washington, D.C. based rocksteady act The Scotch Bonnets, and Providence two-tone soul ska act The Copacetics were opening things up. It was a festive night full of beats, horns and a lovely feeling. If you weren’t at The Parlour then you weren’t at the right place. With the audience’s full attention, The Copacetics took the stage and kicked things off to a rhythmic start. They’re not your typical two-tone band; this gang of seven incorporates hints of jazz, vintage r&b and Motown soul. They showed it on stage with the songs “Time Hard,” “Howl At The Moon” & “Ska Royale.” An extended, jazzed-out version of Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs’ classic “Wooly Booly” was pretty amazing as well. The Copacetics released their self-titled debut album in January and from what I heard live, you should absolutely include it in your music library. With frontwoman Lady Hatchet singing like Aretha Franklin, The Scotch Bonnets had everyone captivated from the first song. Along with Hatchet giving numerous shoutouts to her home state of Rhode Island, this groovy group of musicians exuded a lot of soul and a rockin’ vibe that had me immediately impressed.

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.
