The Skatalites The Skatalites A mediados de los años 50, la productiva industria musical jamaicana alumbró un nuevo estilo. Se bautizó como ska. Nacido de la fusión del Boogie-Woogie Blues, el R\'n\'B, el Jazz, más el Mento, Calypso y los ritmos africanos, puede afirmarse que el ska fue el primer estilo musical verdaderamente jamaicano. En los años 60 todos los vocalistas del país se agolpaban en los estudios de grabación para grabar sus canciones con este nuevo e infeccioso ritmo. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Toots and The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe son sólo algunos de los nombres que usaron este estilo, que además coincidía con un momento de máxima excitación en la isla, fruto de su independencia en 1962. Poco después, los músicos de todas estas sesiones de estudio vieron la oportunidad de extender esta música al directo. Entre ellos, Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso, Johnny Moore, Lester Sterling, Don Drummond, Lloyd Knibb, Lloyd Brevett, Jerry Haynes y Jackie Mittoo, quienes empezaron a trabajar juntos en 1963 para acabar formando la banda Skatalites en 1964. Y aquel mismo año, publicaron su primer disco en Studio One, Ska Authentic, acompañado de una gira por la isla como creadores del ska. Tomaron las radios del país y a su alrededor circularon figuras como Clement \'Sir Coxsone\' Dodd, Arthur \'Duke\' Reid o Cecil \'Prince Buster\' Campbell, además de futuras promesas a las que ayudaron como, Desmond Dekker, The Wailers o Lee Perry. Cuarenta y seisaños después, con los originales Lester Sterling (saxo) y Lloyd Knibb (batería) aún al frente, apoyados por sus primeros y más aventajados discípulos de los sesenta tales como Vin Gordon (trombón) y Cedric Brooks (saxo), llenos de experiencia y con una inmensa discografía tras ellos, una nueva visita al país de The Skatalites sólo puede agradecerse.

Particularly during the era of newly independent Jamaica in the 1960s and 1970s, these complex lyrics reflected and forged a new society through media outlets such as the radio, dancehall parties, and deejay battles. The rise of reggae coincided with the construction of a new Jamaican society: reggae grew as a genre in Kingston’s urban shan- tytowns during the late 1960s, and the musical form responded to Jamaica’s independence from Great Britain in 1962. Reggae is influ- enced by other genres such as mento (a traditional Jamaican folk music that migrated with many from the country to the city), ska, rhythm and blues, and jazz.

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.

Many explanations have been proposed to explain this tendency. This study critically examines these theories through historical and musicological analyses and concludes that the prevalence of the downbeat is a mixture of Jamaican folk and African-American popular music influences in its earliest incarnation, but was later deliberately emphasized in an attempt to create a unique new musical style.

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. As well as a channel for roots reggae music, I hope this publication will also be a source of knowledge for Black History – and a showcase for local and regional talents: the poets, artists, writers and budding journalists. Salutes go to Gary Constant, Helen Baillie, Dan I Cameron and John Green: for the early boost they gave this initiative - the Dub Visionaries!

  • 195 Kenneth Bilby
    Book Reviews 195 Kenneth Bilby Words of Our Mouth, Meditations of Our Heart: Pioneering Musicians of Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, and Dancehall. Middletown CT: Wesleyan University Press, 2016. 232 pp. (Paper US$29.95) “Given its remarkable leap from obscurity and disdain to worldwide influence, it is hard to avoid the sense that there is something special about Jamaica’s popular music,” notes Kenneth Bilby in the well-written and sensitive intro- duction of this book. Indeed, like Cuban music, Jamaican music stems from a Caribbean island but has generated an enormous amount of literature and attracted legions of fans around the globe. This is in great part thanks to Bob Marley, revered by his admirers as an international prophet and hero. Reggae, in particular, has given a voice to the “sufferers”—to people who have been enslaved and colonized, to the underprivileged and despised people of the Kingston slums and the Jamaican countryside. With its concomitant Rastafar- ian faith and philosophy, reggae delivers a powerful message of hope, exalting Jah and a “natural” lifestyle, closer to the one of the old African motherland. Many found (and still find) solace and inspiration in this philosophy and way of life, adopting the Rastas’ dreadlocks, tams, ganja smoking, and rejection of Western consumerist values. Bilby, who has lived in Jamaica and played guitar and drums there, and whose grandmother also lived on the island, is fully conversant with its music, and passionate about it. He points out that despite Jamaican music’s inter- national appeal, most of its creators-instrumentalists, and to a lesser degree, singers, have been ignored and exploited by the “producers” they recorded for, and rarely if ever received credit and royalties for their contributions, while pro- ducers and deejays enjoyed all the attention.

International reggae, democratic socialism, and the secularization of the Rastafarian movement, 1972–1980 Stephen A. King During the 1970s, the Jamaican people appeared to rise “up in rebellion and revolt to . improve their social conditions” (Panton 31). After a decade of struggle against an increasingly repressive Jamaican Labour Party (JLP), Jamaica’s poor and dissident groups embraced the candidacy of People’s National Party (PNP) leader Michael Manley, the son of former Prime Minister Norman Manley, for Prime Minister in 1972. During the national election campaign, Manley attempted to appeal to the Rastafarians and Jamaica’s Black Power movement. Manley even adopted the Biblical name “Joshua” and promised the Jamaican people deliverance from oppression.
