  • Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari
    Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari Annika McPherson Abstract: While the male focus of early literary representations of Rastafari tends to emphasize the movement’s emergence, goals or specific religious practices, more recent depictions of Rasta women in narrative fiction raise important questions not only regarding the discussion of gender relations in Rastafari, but also regarding the functions of literary representations of the movement. This article outlines a dialogical ‘reasoning’ between the different negotiations of gender in novels with Rastafarian protagonists and suggests that the characters’ individual spiritual journeys are key to understanding these negotiations within the gender framework of Rastafarian decolonial practices. Male-centred Literary Representations of Rastafari Since the 1970s, especially, ‘roots’ reggae and ‘dub’ or performance poetry have frequently been discussed as to their relations to the Rastafari movement – not only based on their lyrical content, but often by reference to the artists or poets themselves. Compared to these genres, the representation of Rastafari in narrative fiction has received less attention to date. Furthermore, such references often appear to serve rather descriptive functions, e.g. as to the movement’s philosophy or linguistic practices. The early depiction of Rastafari in Roger Mais’s “morality play” Brother Man (1954), for example, has been noted for its favourable representation of the movement in comparison to the press coverage of

  • Assessing Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy
    humanities Article Political Messages in African Music: Assessing Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy Uche Onyebadi Department of Journalism, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX 76129, USA; [email protected] Received: 30 September 2018; Accepted: 30 November 2018; Published: 6 December 2018 Abstract: Political communication inquiry principally investigates institutions such as governments and congress, and processes such as elections and political advertising. This study takes a largely unexplored route: An assessment of political messages embedded in music, with a focus on the artistic works of three male African music icons—Fela Anikulapo-Kuti (Nigeria), Lucky Dube (South Africa), and Alpha Blondy (Côte d’Ivoire). Methodologically, a purposive sample of the lyrics of songs by the musicians was textually analyzed to identify the themes and nuances in their political messaging. Framing was the theoretical underpinning. This study determined that all three musicians were vocal against corruption, citizen marginalization, and a cessation of wars and bloodshed in the continent. Keywords: Political communication; African politics; African music; Fela Anikulapo-Kuti; Alpha Blondy; Lucky Dube; textual analysis 1. Introduction Music permeates significant aspects of African society, culture, and tradition. Adebayo(2017, p. 56) opined that “to the African, music is not just a pastime, it is a ritual” that describes the true essence and humaneness in being of African origin. Cudjoe(1953, p. 280) description of the place of music among the Ewe people in Ghana typifies this African musical heritage. He observed that “music has an important place in the social life of the Ewe people. There is no activity which does not have music appropriate to it: weaver, farmer and fisherman each sings in perfect time to the rhythmic movement of (one’s) craft ..

    JAH LIGHT « Almighty Zion Keepers » facebook .com/lightjah facebook .com/AZKprods.ABIDJAN instagram .com/azkproductionsabidjan Who Can Save Ft. Don Carlos (single) ALBUM RELEASE : April 9, 2021 REGGAE / WORLD / AFRICA Jah Light, Basile Valentin Okon, was born on September 2, 1981 in Cocody, Abidjan, Ivory Coast. His father was a school Director and his mother a sales agent. He grew up with his ten brothers and sisters in the town of the Two Plateaux where he spent his childhood and his school years. He is rapidly taken by the music virus and spends his free time in the backstage of ‘informal’ recording music studios that are growing in many townships of Abidjan. He integrates different local reggae musical bands and began singing with the band « Reggae Jam » in 2001. The band performed regularly in the various Reggae spots of the city (Pams, Jamaica, Kingston, Menekre). He was barely 20 years old when he decided to stop studying at INSAAC (the Ivorian National Arts and Music Institute ) and immerses himself in the reggae culture, preferring to spend days and nights with elders musicians. Jah Light then embarks on a Bohemian life specific to aspiring artists. He will hit the road touring in the sub-region, notably in Burkina Faso and Benin. Jah Light is making a name for himself. He makes a first collaboration with the #1 Reggae singer from Ivory Coast Alpha Blondy on the 2011 « Vision » album with the International Herb title and also a collaboration with the Ivorian Reggae Band Les Vieux Mogos - the most international Band of Abidjan - with the track I’m Dread.

  • World Music and Activism Since the End of History [Sic]
    World Music and Activism Since the End of History [sic] PETER MANUEL “A thousand militant voices will sing a freedom song The people united will never be defeated…” So proclaimed these verses of “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido,” which, together with a host of nueva canción anthems, sustained the spirits of millions of Latin American progressives through the dark days of Cold War US-supported military dictatorships. But what happens when freedom is finally obtained? When the socialist ideal is discredited? When the economic hegemon is no longer an easily identified antagonist—the imperialist USA—but the intangible workings of an amorphous global financial network? Does the socially conscious music then stop? Is there anything for the thousand voices to sing of, besides love, dancing, and sex? Or, for that matter, nihilistic rage? However one might answer these questions, the third quarter of the twentieth century stands out as a historical moment in which progressive, activist songs occupied lively niches in popular music cultures throughout much of the world, serving as soundscapes for set of socio-political movements that, although diverse, shared a commitment to universalist values ultimately deriving from the Enlightenment. But whether in Jamaica, Pakistan, Spain, or Latin America, these musical movements have largely evaporated. What happened? In recent decades, historians have written extensively about what appears to be a dramatic and tangible change in global socio-political culture since the 1980s. This transformation has been interpreted from diverse perspectives, and with varying degrees of optimism or pessimism. In Francis Fukuyama’s paradigmatic, seminal, and much-debated formulation1, it is the triumph of capitalism and liberal democracy, the exhaustion of structural political and economic alternatives, and, hence, the effective “end of history.” For some cultural theorists, it is a postmodern condition marked by new aesthetic and epistemological sensibilities.
