Reggae Music History

Reggae Music

In 1968 many years known as the birth of reggae music. Actually there are no special events to be early markers muasalnya, except for community musical tastes transition from Ska and Jamaican Rocsteady, who got popular among the young in the early part until the end of the 1960s, the new music rhythm slower bertempo: reggae. It may be noisy noise and rapid tempo Ska and Rocksteady less hit by the economic and social conditions in Jamaica that was full of pressure.

The word "reggae" allegedly comes from the dialect pronunciation of the word Africa "Ragged" (clumsy motion-like stamp body in people who danced to the accompaniment of music ska or reggae). Reggae music itself element influenced R & B music that was born in New Orleans, Soul, Rock, rhythmic Afro-Caribean (Calypso, Merengue, Rhumba) and Jamaican folk music Mento called, is rich with African rhythms. The music is widely regarded to be the forerunner of the Ska and Reggae Rocksteady, musical interpretation of R & B that developed in Jamaica are filled with influences of Afro-American music. Technically and musically done much exploration Ska musicians, among them how to shake the guitar upside down (up-strokes), emphasizing a weak tone on tone (syncopated) and multi-drum beats rhythmic complexity.

Technique Ska musicians and Rocsteady in playing musical instruments, imitated by many reggae musicians. But the music tempo is much slower with the thud of the bass and rhythm guitar is more prominent. Usually heavy vocals with songs like pepujian pattern (chant), which is also influenced tetabuhan rhythm, singing and mystical ways of Rastafari. Music tempo is slower, in time to support the delivery of messages through the lyrics of songs associated with the Rastafari religious traditions and socio-political issues humanistic and universal.

Album "Catch A Fire" (1972) who launched Bob Marley and The Wailers reggae quickly catapulted to the outside Jamaica. Reggae's popularity in the United States also supported by the film The Harder They Come (1973) and reggae rhythms played by white musicians like Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Lee 'Scratch' Perry and UB40. Reggae rhythm may then affect the music flows in the decade after that, call it a variant of hip hop reggae, reggae rock, blues, and so on.

Jamaica

Musical roots reggae is closely related to soil borne: Jamaica. When discovered by Columbus in the 15th century, Jamaica is an island inhabited by Arawak Indians. Jamaica's name is derived from the Arawak vocabulary "xaymaca" which means "island of forest and water". Spanish and British colonialism in the 16th century memunahkan Arawak tribe, who later replaced by thousands of black serf from mainland Africa. The slaves are employed in the sugar industry and plantations scattered there. History of oppression between black people began and lasted until more than two centuries. Only in 1838 the practice of slavery erased, which followed by melesunya world sugar trade.

In the midst of hard work and the threat of oppression, the African slaves to maintain attachment to their homeland with the maintain the tradition. They recounted life in Africa with the song (chant) and noise (drumming) simple. Interaction with the employer who had come from Europe membekaskan cross-cultural product that eventually became the original folk tradition of Jamaica. If the black community in America or Europe quickly faded their African identity, otherwise the black community still feel the closeness of Jamaica to the ancestral land.

Reggae music itself was originally born from the streets Getho (township of rastafaria) in the capital Kingson Jamaica. This is what causes matted hair styles adorn the early reggae musicians and the lyrics of reggae songs loaded Rastafari doctrine of freedom, peace, and beauty of nature, and the bohemian lifestyle. The entry of reggae as one of world music elements that also affect many other world musicians, the music automatically result in the flow of this one into the world of public consumption goods. So, style or dreadlock dreadlocks and the lyrics of 'Rasta' in his song became public consumption. In other words, dreadlock Rasta and teaching has become a pop production, became a pop culture, as the development of reggae music as a pop music.

Reggae music, as andres, has become a new form of subculture in this country, where her young children to determine and classify him. Here, reggae music became important as a taste, and andres into a communal identity of a particular social group. Live how social observers and also that community members understand themselves and the culture it chooses, in order to avoid misinterpretations that are harmful to them. The use of marijuana is one example, where reggae is not identical with any rastafarianisme marijuana and not a community of exploiters marijuana.

A song from "Peter Tosh" (real name Peter McIntosh), frontman The Wairles that eventually go solo. In this song, Peter Tosh expressed its support and its claim to legalize marijuana. Because of this song, he had been arrested and tortured by police in Jamaica.

According to the history of Jamaica, the slaves brought drums from Africa called "Burru" which became part of the song arrangements called "talking drums" (talking drum) the original of West Africa. "Jonkanoo" is a mixture of African musical culture, Europe and Jamaica consisting of drumming, Rattle (musical instrument creaking) and blow conch. This event has emerged as a dancer christmas mask. Initially Jonkanoos dance of the peasants, who only recently realized that they actually communicate with the drums and conch. The next year, Calypso from Trinidad & Tobago came with Samba that comes from Central America and introduced to people - people of Jamaica to form a new mixture called Mento. Mento music itself is simple with humorous lyrics accompanied by guitar, banjo, Tambourine, shaker, scraper and rumba or the bass box. This form then popular in the 20 and 30s and is the first form of Jamaican music that interested the whole island. We have enjoyed Mento still serving tourism. SKA who had appeared in 40 - 50an actually mentioned by the History of Jamaican Music, influenced by Swing, & Blues from Rythym Amrik. SKA is actually a big band sound with horn arrangements (wind instrument), piano, and beats fast "bop". Ska then easily switch and produce a dance form "skankin" pad early 60s. Jamaica Star earlier include Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, formed in 1956 who then regarded as the creator of "ska". Ska developments which then slowed down in the mid-60s beat bring "Rock Steady" which Punta heavy bass tune, and popularized by Leroy Sibbles from the Heptones group and became the first Jamaican dance music in the 60s.

"Reggae & Rasta"

Bob Marley music certainly is bimtang "third world" to become the first group singer Bob Marley & The Wailers and succeeded in introducing reggae more universal. However, reggae is regarded by many as the legacy of the King of Reggae Music, Hon. Robert Nesta Marley. Coupled with the presence of "The Harder they Come" in 1973, added Reggae known to many people. Death of Bob Marley and it brings great sadness for the world, but his successors such as Freddie McGregor, Dennis Brown, Garnett Silk, Marcia Fiffths and Rita Marley and the Marley family a few relatives to emerge. Rasta is clearly forming Reggae music is used as a weapon by Bob Marley Rasta spreading throughout the world. Incredible music grew from ska to become the American style elements of R & B and Caribbean. Some of the opinions expressed there are also influences: folk music, church music Pocomania, Band jonkanoo, the ceremony - the ceremony of farmers, track work of planting, and the form mento. Nyahbingi is the most natural form of music is often played at the meeting - a meeting Rasta, using 3 drum hands (bass, funde and repeaters: examples in the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari). Roots reggae itself is always exploring the theme of the suffering of slave laborers (ghetto dweller), slaves in Babylon, Haile Selassie (the human kind of god) and hope the return of Africa. After Jamaican independence in 1962, poor governance and the development of the Black Power movement in the U.S. and encourage the rise of Rasta. Monumentalpun events occurred over this development.

"What is Reggae"

Reggae itself is a combination of the traditional accompaniment of Africa, America and Blues and folk (folk song) Jamaica. This synthesis of styles clearly demonstrate the authenticity of Jamaica and enter the knock off - end in itself, strumming the guitar upwards, vocal patterns that 'preaching' and the lyrics are still about Rastafari religious traditions. Although many commercial advantages that have been obtained from reggae, Babylon (Jamaica), the government is often considered to be strict but not restrictive Rastafarinya political aspects. "Reg-ay" practically came from the notion that reggae is Jamaican music style that was based on American soul music but with ritem the 'reversed' and the fabric of a prominent bass. Emang theme raised frequently about Rastafari, political protest, and rudie (hero hooligans). Previously existing forms (ska & Rocksteady) seem more powerful influence of African music - despite his American guitar also fill 'holes - holes' empty accompaniment and drums complex. In contemporary Reggae, drumming taken from Rastafarian rituals tend mystical and sacred, because it will enable more calm and dotted heavily on social issues, political and human message.

"No real Jamaica"

Reggae is a music unique to Jamaica, ironically roots from New Orleans R & B. Closest ancestor, ska comes from New Orleans R & B Jamaican musicians heard from the radio broadcast Amrik through their transistor radios. With guitar accompaniment based on the fit - barely enough and dropped out - they will putusadalah interpretation R & B and could be popular in the 60s. Later during the hot summer, and they got hot kalo flickey plus tarinya ska, results and so was born the song slowed Reggae. Since then, proved Reggae Blues could be as strong and powerful interpretation can also borrow from the Rocksteady (first) and even the music Rock (now). Basically African music in everyday life, be it in the streets, buses, public places, workplaces ato house so some spirit when things are tough and capable of providing power and message of its own. The result, Reggae music is not just provide relaxation, but also bring a message of love, peace, unity and balance and be able to relax the tension.

Hits - hits Reggae and even then had been dominated by the original rock star Eric Clapton began to Stones to the Clash and the Fugees.
