Music Unit 8A Reggae IES LAS MARINAS SECCIÓN BILINGÜE MUSIC: UNIT 8 A – 2ºESO BILINGÜE BOB MARLEY Reggae is a type of music that came from different musical styles, including traditional Jamaican (Afro-Caribbean) music. Reggae only became a distinct style of music in the 1960s and it has become a national symbol for the island of Jamaica. Reggae is played in 4/4 time or swing time. Harmonically, the music is often very simple, and sometimes a song will have no more than one or two chords . These simple repetitious chord structures add to reggae's hypnotic effects. Musical Instruments : A standard drum kit is generally used. The bass guitar often plays a very dominant role in reggae. A piano is also often used in reggae and there are sometimes horn sections. Reggae song lyrics deal with many subjects, including religion, love, sexuality, peace, relationships, poverty, injustice and other social and political issues. 1 IES LAS MARINAS SECCIÓN BILINGÜE JAMAICA Rastafarianism Rastafarianism is a religion that is very common among Jamaicans of African descent. Many of the world's most famous reggae musicians practice this religion, and many reggae lyrics reflect the beliefs and traditions of Rastafarianism. Popularity of Reggae Bob Marley was reggae's best-known international singer. Some people consider Marley to be responsible for the popularity of reggae worldwide, but many other artists, including Jimmy Cliff were very important. Reggae Language Reggae lyrics are often difficult to understand because they are in Jamaican- English dialect. Many Jamaican slang words are used, and there are many Rastafarian words, such as "Jah" (God).

Rector Western Oregon University June 16, 2007 Readers Professor John L. Rector Professor Kimberly Jensen Copyright © Mark Haner, 2007 The spread of Jamaican culture and Rastafarianism can be accredited to many events and technical advances in communication. Bob Marley is one of the main influences the spread of Jamaican culture and Rastafarianism due to the lyrical rhetoric used in his popular music. Growing up as an impoverished youth, Marley struggled to create a music career where his voice as well as others could be heard globally. Bob Marley’s lyrics contributed to the spread of Jamaican culture and Rastafarianism because the messages in these songs display the areas of class and Marley’s life in the Jamaica ghetto, Trenchtown.

  • Bob Marley – Primary Wave Music
    BOB MARLEY facebook.com/BobMarley instagram.com/bobmarley/ twitter.com/bobmarley Imageyoutube.com/bobmarley not found or type unknown bobmarley.com open.spotify.com/user/primarywavemusic/playlist/7nKdMQsvQzxa8MVF3BdD8f Robert Nesta Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) Given the image of him as a smiling, joint-smoking peacenik that has proliferated since his death in 1981, it’s easy to forget just how angry Bob Marley was. His music spoke to colonialism (“Small Axe”), poverty (“Them Belly Full [But We Hungry]”), the necessity of achieving political agency (“Get Up, Stand Up”), and the challenge of exercising it (“Burnin’ and Lootin’”) with a righteousness and frustration that made him as much a figurehead to punk rock as to the reggae he helped export to the world. He may have been ambivalent about politics (he once said it was pretty much the same thing as church—a way to keep people ignorant), but it wasn’t because of their underlying possibilities; it was the way the political system had been twisted by the tyranny and greed of people in power that troubled him. And if his music sounded sweet and made you want to dance, it’s because, as his sometime publicist Vivien Goldman once put it, he knew that if he hooked you with the melody, you’d have to listen to what he had to say. Born in 1945 in Nine Mile, a rural village about an hour and a half outside Kingston, Marley formed The Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in his late teens, thickening from cheerful R&B-based ska to the more rhythmically substantive sound of reggae.

  • Religion and Revolution in the Lyrics of Bob Marley" Jan Decosmo, Asst
    "Religion and Revolution in the Lyrics of Bob Marley" Jan DeCosmo, Asst. Professor of Humanities Florida A&M University, Tallahassee, Florida Caribbean Studies Assn. Conference, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, May 1994 (working copy, not for publication) In one of his many interviews, Bob Marley made the statement that reggae music had always been there, and that what made his music important was the lyrics. "Yes, it's necessary to understand the lyrics," he insisted [Time Will Tell 1992]. One connection of roots reggae to an earlier Caribbean tradition--specifically, calypso--is this emphasis on meaningful lyrics. According to Billy Bergman in his book, Hot Sauces: Pop, Reggae and Latin, this partiality for meaningful lyrics can be traced back to the African griot. He writes: Africans, brought as slaves to the island of TrinicW—the birthplace of calpyso--found the griot tradition a useful way of saying things that were not to be broadcoast in other ways. Diatribes against their oppressors could be couched in verse. The African tradition of ridicule songs was also maintained in after-work song sessions in which different work gangs praised themselves and made fun of others. [Later] . the political and social happenings of the Eastern Caribbean, and the world, were composed and commented upon in calypso lyrics. World wars were discussed, and legendary figures such as Roosevelt praised or condemned according to the views of the singers. Black news from around the world was especially noted. The living newspaper tradition of calypso continues to this day. [Bergman 1985:57] After reading this description, I was struck by a comment I remembered Marley had made to an interviewer about his music: "Reggae music" he said, "is a people music.
