Aotearoa NZ is no exception to this trend wherein the direct action message that Bob Marley preached to ‘get up stand up’ supported the radical engagements in the public sphere prompted by Black Power.1 In many ways, Marley’s message and demeanour vindicated the radical oppositional strategies that activists had deployed against the Babylon system in contradistinction to the Te Aute Old Boy tradition of tactful engagement. No surprise, then, that roots reggae was sometimes met with consternation by elders, although much of the issue revolved specifically around the smoking of Marijuana, the wisdom weed.2 Yet some activists and gang members paid closer attention to the trans- mission, through the music, of a faith cultivated in the Caribbean, which professed Ethiopia as the root and Haile Selassie I as the agent of redemption. And they decided to make it their faith too.

So here’s the first issue, of the first roots reggae magazine, for the Thames Valley region. It’s envisaged as a quarterly production, focusing on Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

  • Still Is Still Moving to Us
    toots.q 9/13/04 12:10 PM Page 2 ANDTOOTS THE MAYTALS STILL IS STILL MOVING TO US What traits must a music superstar possess? Charisma, the injection of one’s heart and soul in every note, every song, every album, every concert and an unwavering commitment to one’s craft are essential characteristics of a recording artist whose music stands the test of time. These characteristics define the legendary career of Jamaican singer Toots Hibbert. Over the years, Toots and the Maytals have inspired countless youngsters. Many, of course, be- came reggae singers because of the remarkable influence this band has had. From the Caribbean, to Africa, to the United Kingdom, to the United States, the Maytals have secured a legacy that can only be described this way: The band is part of the foundation of reggae (more on that later), and, like a fine wine, Toots has aged to perfection. Casper Lomayesva, a Hopi-Navajo from Arizona and the frontman for reggae band Casper and the Mighty 602 Band, summarizes the sentiments of many when he says, “Toots is an awesome performer as well as an awesome guy. “I have had the chance to see him on numerous occasions and he gets better with time. He kind of reminds me of James Brown with his style of dance and song. He truly is a pioneer,” Lomayesva continues. (Others say Toots reminds them of the late Otis Redding, a fellow who sang soul tunes with unbridled passion.) Casper has first-hand recollections of dealing with Toots in his element: live at a concert.
