  • Outsiders' Music: Progressive Country, Reggae
    CHAPTER TWELVE: OUTSIDERS’ MUSIC: PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, REGGAE, SALSA, PUNK, FUNK, AND RAP, 1970s Chapter Outline I. The Outlaws: Progressive Country Music A. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, mainstream country music was dominated by: 1. the slick Nashville sound, 2. hardcore country (Merle Haggard), and 3. blends of country and pop promoted on AM radio. B. A new generation of country artists was embracing music and attitudes that grew out of the 1960s counterculture; this movement was called progressive country. 1. Inspired by honky-tonk and rockabilly mix of Bakersfield country music, singer-songwriters (Bob Dylan), and country rock (Gram Parsons) 2. Progressive country performers wrote songs that were more intellectual and liberal in outlook than their contemporaries’ songs. 3. Artists were more concerned with testing the limits of the country music tradition than with scoring hits. 4. The movement’s key artists included CHAPTER TWELVE: OUTSIDERS’ MUSIC: PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY, REGGAE, SALSA, PUNK, FUNK, AND RAP, 1970s a) Willie Nelson, b) Kris Kristopherson, c) Tom T. Hall, and d) Townes Van Zandt. 5. These artists were not polished singers by conventional standards, but they wrote distinctive, individualist songs and had compelling voices. 6. They developed a cult following, and progressive country began to inch its way into the mainstream (usually in the form of cover versions). a) “Harper Valley PTA” (1) Original by Tom T. Hall (2) Cover version by Jeannie C. Riley; Number One pop and country (1968) b) “Help Me Make It through the Night” (1) Original by Kris Kristofferson (2) Cover version by Sammi Smith (1971) C.

  • Louise Bennett and the Mento Tradition
    w Louise Bennett and the Mento Tradition ERIC DOUMERC I—^OUISE BENNETT, OR Miss Lou as she is popularly known, is probably the Jamaican poet most readily associated with dia• lect — or "patois" as it is called in Jamaica — and with the defense of this language. Miss Lou is primarily known as a per• former of dialect poetry and as the champion of the people's language, even though until the late 1960s she was not recog• nized as a writer; after all, she was only "doing dialect" (Markham 46). The ig6os and the coming of independence brought her a measure of recognition with an article written by the leading poet and critic Mervyn Morris and with the publica• tion of a collection of her most popular poems, edited by Rex Nettleford in 1966. In 1982, Morris edited a second collection of Bennett's poems; a record of one of her "performances" in London was released by Island Records in 1983. Her work "in dialect, and with dialect" (Markham 46) is now fully recognized and she has become an established writer, as is shown by the masterful study of her poems by Carolyn Cooper. Miss Lou is often and rightly referred to as the champion of dialect verse and as the godmother of performance poetry , but it should also be pointed out that her poetry comes out of a specific musical and cultural tradition: the Mento tradition. The poet Linton Kwesi Johnson once remarked: "If anything, Miss Lou is working in a mento tradition rather than a dub tra• dition" (Markham 256).

  • From Freedom to Bondage: the Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770
    From Freedom to Bondage: The Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770 Jonathan Brooks, University of North Carolina Wilmington Andrew Clark, Faculty Mentor, UNCW Abstract: The Jamaican Maroons were not a small rebel community, instead they were a complex polity that operated as such from 1655-1770. They created a favorable trade balance with Jamaica and the British. They created a network of villages that supported the growth of their collective identity through borrowed culture from Africa and Europe and through created culture unique to Maroons. They were self-sufficient and practiced sustainable agricultural practices. The British recognized the Maroons as a threat to their possession of Jamaica and embarked on multiple campaigns against the Maroons, utilizing both external military force, in the form of Jamaican mercenaries, and internal force in the form of British and Jamaican military regiments. Through a systematic breakdown of the power structure of the Maroons, the British were able to subject them through treaty. By addressing the nature of Maroon society and growth of the Maroon state, their agency can be recognized as a dominating factor in Jamaican politics and development of the country. In 1509 the Spanish settled Jamaica and brought with them the institution of slavery. By 1655, when the British invaded the island, there were 558 slaves.1 During the battle most slaves were separated from their masters and fled to the mountains. Two major factions of Maroons established themselves on opposite ends of the island, the Windward and Leeward Maroons. These two groups formed the first independent polities from European colonial rule. The two groups formed independent from each other and with very different political structures but similar economic and social structures.

MOWATT July 2013 Copyright Garnet C.L. Mowatt 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Jamaica, one of the many countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean, is known for its rich musical heritage that has made its impact on the international scene. The worldwide recognition of Jamaica’s music reflects the creative power of the country’s artists and affects many sectors of the island’s economy. This has lead to examination and documentation of the musical culture of Jamaica by a number of folklorists and other researchers. Though some research has focused on various aspects of music education in the country, very little research has focused on the secondary level music teacher education programs in Jamaica.

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.
