Today the influence of reggae is everywhere, and a world without it would be unthinkable. However, until the early seventies, reggae was virtually unknown in most of the world.
Reggae originated in relative isolation in Jamaica in the late 1960s, and when it was first heard in Europe and North America, it sounded truly revolutionary. It was a completely new sound that changed the course of music almost as much as rock ‘n roll had done a decade earlier.
However, reggae might not have caught on like a wildfire around the world had it not been introduced by an extraordinary man, who was both an extremely charismatic performer and one of the greatest singers and songwriters who ever lived. His name was, of course, Bob Marley.
Marley died young, at the age of 36 in 1981, yet over the course of a relatively short career that lasted less than two decades, with only eight years as an internationally charting artist, he became a household name around the world.
So how did such a startlingly original form of music, and such a startingly original musician and performer, emerge at the same time and in the same place-a small Caribbean island roughly the same size as Cyprus or New York City, with a population of less than two million people at the time Marley grew up? And how did this form of music and this performer manage to take the world by storm? These are the questions that we’ll discuss in this blog.
SYNCOPATION
The many music styles in Jamaica from which reggae arose include mento, calypso, jazz, rhythm and blues shuffle, Nyabingi music, and ska. Ska emerged in Jamaica in the late fifties, and is a dance music characterized by a quarter note walking bassline, the instantly recognizable guitar and piano accents on all upbeats, jazz-influenced horn riffs, and a kick drum accent on the third beat of the four-beat bar. It became the popular music amongst young people in Jamaica after the country gained independence from, British rule in 1962.
In the mid-sixties, ska transformed into rocksteady, which slowed down the beat, and laid the accents on two and four. From this, it was a relatively minor step towards reggae, which slows down the beat even more, and keeps the accents on two and four, usually played by guitar and/or keyboard. Unusually, the snare accents the third beat, suggesting half time.
The most common reggae drum rhythm is called ‘one drop,’ because it has only one kick in each bar. In a reversal of the emphasis on the one in funk, the kick on the first beat is left out. Instead, the kick, like the snare, only accents the third beat. As reggae musicians like to put it: play three beats and only suggest the fourth. The ‘steppers’ reggae rhythm is a variation, with a four-on-the-floor kick.

It's not one artist, but, in late summer/early fall of 1970 the music world pivoted from Cream/Hendix to singer songwriters. The two songs that did that here on FM radio in the Philly area were 1) Fire and Rain (Taylor) and Your Song (John/Taupin). Joni, whom you've covered (thanks!) was part of that, and so, a little later as I recall, was your guy John Martyn. I'd love to hear your thoughts and analysis on what it takes to get a mix to sit "under" a vocal rather than getting a vocal to sit "in" the mix. For example, James has said his struggle was always to get the instrumentation (eg bass) down under his voice. While we kind of think of Fire and Rain as an acoustic guitar piece, the released version sounds to me like it's mostly piano and (bowed?) bass (Lee Sklar would know). It has huge bottom end. The "guitar," I think but you would know, is just that characteristic hammer-pull James does, used almost like a sample/loop. Sorry to be so long-winded, carry on!

War story: My day job from 1976 to 1981 was working in the guitar department at Manny's Music on 48th St in Manhattan. I remember Al Anderson was in the store one day, when it was clear that Bob was really sick so we asked how he was doing. It really stuck with me how Al said (in his perfect Jersey accent) that "It started in his....foot" It was chilling. He couldn't believe it, and neither could we - a deity felled by some cells that wouldn't stop dividing. Every day, tell the ones you love that you love them - and RIP Bob.

His message of peace, brotherhood and equality is an example more should portray. He is in that pantheon of those rare artists who not only changed the medium, but changed the world too. Excellent video, Warren. Thank you! Also - Carlos Santana deserves an "Artists Who Changed Music" video.

I only saw him once in concert, and what struck me was the sincerity of his words. He lived his own words, he was not a preacher, too smart for that, but a spreader of a different word, of a different kind of rebellion. Bob Marley was a giant! Thanks for this great video, with a great summary of the evolution of music in Jamaica. And we could go on for hours about the influence of rock steady and ska on the punk movement, and the importance of the Trojan label on music, but also on social life, in the UK in the 70s and 80s!

Had the privilege of seeing Toots and the Maytals perform at a small nightclub in Bloomington, Indiana to a literal standing room only crowd (it was so packed that people had to stand on tables to make room).

@donstrumental8905 2 жыл бұрын

Toots didn’t create the term Reggae, he was the first to put the term on record. I know of 2 stories where the term came from so I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle. A song called Nanny Goat by Larry Marshall has an echo delay added to the guitar chop in 1968, the guitar chick now becomes chick-eh with the delay and is said to sound like the word reh- gae. Another story is the organ shuffle is added to reggae in 1968 and sounds like uh-regg-ae. Up until 1968 the music was called Rock Steady.

@DMKahn 2 жыл бұрын

The timing of reggae is often mistakenly described as half time. I have been educated by Jamaican drummers that it's actually count in full time, and the snare lands on 2 and 4. If you listen to any reggae song being counted in by the drummer, it's counted in full time. Big up and thanks for talking about reggae music.

Bob Marley and his music was a profound touchpoint in 20th century human consciousness. I'm not a Rastafarian but Marley operated as a kind of "musical priest" in a way that maybe no one but the likes of Bach and David (biblical writer of Psalms) had previously done, in recorded human history. I think, on some level, he understood that and enthusiastically served. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

You've omitted Zimbabwe, Africa United. Survival is a Panafricanist Album. African unity, African liberation. True Democracy in Africa were at the Core of Marley work. I personally used his own funds to travel and perform to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, during independance celebration. Freedom Fighters in many Frontline States were playing Marley records as a source of motivation. Marley adored football... He was super huge leader... He formed one the best band in Pop. I do not have words to describe such an immense talent. Of course ideologically he exposed the oppressive system, that why his physical life was shorten. He is missed. Rest in justice and freedom Bob.

Chris scraped his face on the road and ended up with a glass eye - The Maori in NZ took BoB to heart and we've had some wikked Reggae bands come out - Trinity Roots, Katch a Fire and Fat Freddies Drop - all 3 being really popular in Europe - I became a bass player and now at 62 am still playing my Jazz bass around town.

Great feature, Warren. The first time I heard Bob Marley & The Wailers it stopped me in my tracks. I was a Music Programmer at a small town AM radio station. Island sent a demo of Rastaman Vibration. The packaging was like nothing we had received before. This was not Waylon Jennings! I remember putting it on the turntable to have a listen. Who is this? What is this? And, what the heck am I supposed to do with it? So, I took it home for the weekend. And, had a listen from an altered perspective. lol. I was hooked. In later years, when I travelled the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, Bob's music was everywhere. I suspect it still is. RIP Bob. Thank you for your music, your conscience and all the joy you brought us. One Love, brother. One Love.

Thank You Warren! Your personal thoughts at the end literally had me in tears. I was blessed to have witnessed two Bob Marley concerts in the 70's at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. An awesome outdoor theater. The second concert on Nov. 25 1979 was one of the last shows to be recorded/filmed before his passing. Hands down the two best concerts I've ever been to. Actually to call them concerts would be an understatement. It was more like a mystical experience than a musical concert. I still remember getting the distinct feeling when he walked out on stage that his aura filled the entire arena. His music and songwriting were way up there on top of the heap, but he was so much more than just a musician! His god given gift for singing, writing and mesmerizing performance was merely a vehicle for something much larger. Most notably he was a UNITER of people, and like you said a mouthpiece for the downtrodden and oppressed. And one of those very rare artists who never let fame go to his head. It wasn't about HIM, it was about the MESSAGE. I heard a story of some guy hiking in the Himalayas, coming upon a tiny little one room goatherder's stone hovel way out in the middle of nowhere... Obviously no electricity but the guy inside had a little battery powered cassette player with one worn out tape. Bob Marley and the Wailers! Needless to say Bob's music gave them a common bond to relate to each other! Same deal way out on the reservation in the middle of the Arizona desert. The Natives were playing Bob Marley!

@@Producelikeapro Here's one more interesting Bob story! How Bob's music quite likely saved a guy's life! I was on a plane heading back to CA from a weeks vacation on Kauai (one of the Hawaiian Islands) and ended up talking story with a guy also heading home from there. Hawaii for all its awesome warmth and aloha, like everything also has a "hidden" dark side. This was back in the late 80's so it might have been a bit worse back then. On Kauai there's a road running along the south side and on around to the west that dead ends in the middle of some sugarcane fields. There were many stories of people disappearing out there. There was a small element of very pissed off Hawaiians that certainly didn't hold any Aloha for haoli's (foreign or white people) and had no problem erasing them from their island. So this guy I was talking to said he took a drive out to the end of that road and parked to take a few tokes on a joint and suddenly some huge very menacing looking local boys came out of the cane fields and started approaching him. He's sitting there shaking like a leaf thinking "This could it. I'm dead meat." But then thinking fast, he had a sudden inspiration to crank up a Bob Marley tape he had in the tape player...!! Good move!! As soon as the local boys heard Bob their whole vibe flipped 180!! They ended up passing around the joint and "talking story". A true testament to Bob as UNITER! And that music really is a universal language..

@UCpyUGZeMUtOvt57UACw3H2g, One more afterthought on my last post. Bob as a voice for the oppressed, and the influence of reggae music. If you know the history of how Hawaii was stolen from the natives it's not hard to see how many of the locals feel like they're oppressed. Indeed many Hawaiians can no longer afford to live in the beloved islands of their ancestors. Many forced to move to the mainland. So the locals took to Bob's music and message big time, creating their own hybrid musical style called "Jah'waiin". A blend of traditional Hawaiian music with reggae featuring ukulele. They especially could relate due to the fact that reggae was "Island music".....
