Le Sound System

En 1950 ils ont embouché des musiciens se arretérent et mongeaient beaucoup de curry de chévre.  Pendant ce temps, les gens se mettre dans le systéme de son et le jeu afin que les gens danser.  Ce etait tout au sujet du rhythm & blues et que ce etait la fin de la musique sur direct.  Les gens ont joue leurs systéms de sonorisation ur la rue de 20 heures jusqu'a 6 heures.  Ils ont fait leur propre musique "Ska" base sur Mento & Calypso.

Ernest Rengilin Jamaican guitarist worked with The Wailers: "to talk about the skat! skat! skat!  Scratchin' guitar strum that goes behind"

'Ska': Mento & Calypso

MENTO: 

African slaves were brought to the country with European folk culture.  Slaves played music singing European folk music.

Calypso:  Caribbean 

African music of Trinidad and Tobago

Rastafari

Movement began in Jamaica in 1930s & the prophecy by Marcus Garvey: "Look to Africa where a black king shall be crowned, he shall be your Redeemer".  Just because Haile Selassie I became a king in Ethiopia, people made him to be their Massiah.  

Europeans were colonizing African countries.  They were taking Africans as captives & slaves to different parts of the world & the word 'Babylon' emerged as oppression or those who oppressed them.  They were stripped from their cultures & beliefs as they believed that they will all go back to Ethiopia.

Nine Months Later...

Haile Selassi the Emporer of Ethiopia visits Jamaica in November 1966.  Rita Marley converts to Rastafarianism & changes her name to Ganette Mander ('paradise').  Bob Marley gets busy working with Johnny Nash & becomes the top charts of UK in 1972.

1968:-  Bob explores Rastafarianism & he embraces it in his music.  He popularized the Rastafarian Movement & made his voice clear.  People would not have known Rastafarians if it wasn't for Marley.

He sang about peace, love, religion, politics and humanity.  You can see their daily lives through their music.
