  • The Birth and Growth of Ro
    THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF ROGER STEFFENS’ Reggae Archives Archives, story and photos by “Ras RoJah” Steffens Way back in the summer of 1973, an extraordinary and revealing article appeared in Rolling Stone by a gonzo journalist from Australia named Michael Thomas. Under the heading “The Wild Side of Paradise,” in vivid mad-cap prose, Thomas told a brief history of this new Jamaican music called “reggae,” and alerted American readers to its manifold mysteries and pleasures. I cut it out and put it in a manila folder -- and now, looking back -- I recognize it as the unwitting start of Roger Steffens’ Reggae Archives. I never set out to build a collection that would grow to fi ll six rooms of our home in Los Angeles, plus a basement storage space at a museum design fi rm in Pasadena, not to mention the dozens of cartons stored in our garage and bedroom closets. Need I say I am married to the world’s most patient wife? Without Mary’s active connivance, none of this would ever have happened, for she has taken virtually every step of the reggae trod at my side, meeting Bob Marley and Sunsplashing throughout the ‘80s and running tech for me in worldwide “Life of Bob Marley” multi-media presentations as far afi eld as the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Martinique and Guam, from Auckland to Alberta, Perth to Paris. I’ve always been a writer and a lecturer, two interests abetted by my training as an actor, so whenever a subject interests me, I begin to keep a fi le on it, in case someday I might like to write or speak about it.

Middleton Texas Christian University f art is the engine that powers religion’s vehicle, then reggae music is the 740hp V12 underneath the hood of I the Rastafari. Not all reggae music advances this movement’s message, which may best be seen as an anticolonial theo-psychology of black somebodiness, but much reggae does, and this is because the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley OM, aka Tuff Gong, took the message as well as the medium and left the Rastafari’s track marks throughout the world.1 Scholars have been analyzing such impressions for years, certainly since the melanoma-ravaged Marley transitioned on May 11, 1981 at age 36. Marley was gone too soon.2 And although “such a man cannot be erased from the mind,” as Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga said at Marley’s funeral, less sanguine critics left others thinking that Marley’s demise caused reggae music’s engine to cough, splutter, and then die.3 Commentators were somewhat justified in this initial assessment. In the two decades after Marley’s tragic death, for example, reggae music appeared to abandon its roots, taking on a more synthesized feel, leading to electronic subgenres such as 1 This is the basic thesis of Carolyn Cooper, editor, Global Reggae (Kingston, Jamaica: Canoe Press, 2012).

    Ramapo College of New Jersey Office of Communications and Public Relations September 29, 2014 Contact: Stephen J. Hudik E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 201.684.7845 ROGER STEFFENS, AUTHORITY ON MUSIC OF BOB MARLEY, TO SPEAK AT RAMAPO COLLEGE ON OCTOBER 6 (MAHWAH, NJ) Roger Steffens, world-renowned authority on all things Bob Marley, will speak at Ramapo College of New Jersey on October 6 at 11:30 a.m. in the Sharp Theater. The event is free and open to the public. Steffens will deliver a multimedia presentation, The Life of Bob Marley. The presentation has been called “the definitive history of the reggae king.” Marley, known as the foremost Jamaican reggae singer-songwriter, was a best-selling artist who infused his music with Rastafari spirituality. He died in 1981 at the age of 36. Steffens co-hosted Reggae Beat on KCRW for eight years and the internationally syndicated Reggae Beat International for five years. He was named the ‘Most Popular Reggae DJ in the World’ by Martin’s International Awards in Chicago. His ten-CD series, entitled The Complete Bob Marley & the Wailers 1967 to 1972, is a 220-track series with more than 100 rare Bob Marley & the Wailers recordings. The event is sponsored by The Schomburg Scholar Committee. For more information, contact Professor Aaron Lorenz at [email protected]. ##### Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as sixth in the Best Regional Universities North category for public institutions, Ramapo College of New Jersey is sometimes mistaken for a private college. This is, in part, due to its unique interdisciplinary academic structure, its size of approximately 6,000 students and its pastoral setting in the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains on the New Jersey/New York border.

  • About Face! March Forward to HIFA 2010
    About Face! March forward to HIFA 2010 27 April to 2 May It’s time to build stamina and get ready for the excitement, thrills and creative delights of HIFA 2010 – ABOUT FACE, 27 April to 2 May. This joyful, action packed carnival extravaganza remains Zimbabwe’s most positive, most life and art affirming annual event. It has survived the many challenges of the past decade and forged ahead proudly, demonstrating all the best facets of what makes a Zimbabwean a Zimbabwean - industrious, fun-loving, humorous, serious, generous, welcoming, hospitable, and above all, always ready and able to “make a plan” to find their way around obstacles and challenges. These fine qualities have meant that the Festival has happened year by year regardless of difficulties, bringing light to our lives and offering an artistic and cultural beacon on our horizons to which we all eagerly look forward. Turning ABOUT FACE, and from a new vantage point, we can focus on turning things around in our lives and country with hope and optimism. In both our artistic expression and in wider society, HIFA’s theme inspires a positive approach, a resurgence of hope, and taking a new angle. With this intriguing theme ABOUT FACE, HIFA encourages Festival Goers and Artists alike to take a different view, choose another vantage point, look at things with an inquisitive new eye. The theme explores the notion of viewing our worlds from new perspectives or angles, of changing directions, of marching boldly forward, turning things around - perhaps even on their head! Like many of HIFA's themes in the eleven years of this great Festival's existence, ABOUT FACE is designed to provoke thought, catalyse new ideas and be open to interpretation.
