Part II: The Evolution of Jamaican Music: From Revivalism to Reggae

In the late 1960s, Jamaica was blessed with a variety of talented musicians and singers who experimented with and blended different beats of music and recorded their musical renditions at local recording studios like Dynamic Sounds and Treasure Isle.

So, while rocksteady, with its smooth rhythmic beat and melodious lyrics and sound, took over from the more pulsating and energetic sound of ska in 1967, by 1969 another new energetic beat was already replaying the rocksteady genre. The new beat would become the phenomenal genre of reggae.

There is no definitive account of where the name reggae originated from. One account is that it emerged from a 1968 single, “Do the Reggay” by the group Toots and the Maytals. Another account claims the late reggae icon Bob Marley said the word reggae came from a Spanish term for “the king’s music.” This could have some accuracy as in Latin the word regi means “to the king.”

Whatever the source of the name, the fact is that within a short time the new genre reggae became king on Jamaica’s musical scene.

Reggae had a distinctive sound, heavy on the beat of the guitar and piano (or keyboard), and a collaboration of the traditional Jamaican musical genres of mento, ska, and American jazz and rhythm and blues.

Like its predecessor, ska, reggae when played immediately summoned people to the dance floor. In Jamaica, reggae had a similar effect on the local population as calypso had on the population of Trinidad. 

And if one wasn’t dancing to reggae, the new genre, like calypso, evoked great satisfaction as the lyrics in several reggae songs performed by artists like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, the Third World Band, and others, were strong social commentaries that served to motivate people who were then marginalized, giving hope for their upward social mobility.

Somehow, reggae attracted singers, men and women, who were affiliated, or yearned to be affiliated to the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica, which created a societal conundrum in the late 1960s to early 1970s, as some uptown Jamaicans tended to turn up their noses, not so much at the music, but the artists rendering the sound, but the music grew to so much in popularity that the societal biases was eventually removed.

There is little doubt that the music and lyrics of reggae orchestrated change in the Jamaican society in the 1970s—something quickly identified by the emerging populist leaders like Michael Manley and Edward Seaga in the 1970s.  Manley came to power in 1972, riding on the rhythm of a popular reggae hit, “Better Must Come” by Delroy Wilson, which he chose as the People National Party’s campaign song, and for later campaigns, the hit, “My Leader Born Ya” boasting his Jamaican roots compared to his rival Seaga’s U.S. birth. Also, in the mid-1970s, when political violence threatened to destabilize the country, Manley turned to reggae for a solution and sought Bob Marley and several other reggae artists to perform in the legendary Peace Concert held at the National Stadium in Kingston.

And, Seaga who had a keen understanding of Jamaican music and musicians, and the impact of the music on the lives of impoverished Jamaicans, used reggae and other forms of traditional Jamaican music to bind him and his politics to the Jamaican working class.

Although reggae has had great singers like Marley, Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Gregory Issacs, Dennis Brown, among others, it also produced great musicians. These included bass guitarists like Carlton Barrett from Bob Marley and the Wailers, Lloyd Brevett from The Skatalites, Lloyd Knibb from The Skatalites, Winston Grennan, Sly Dunbar,  Anthony “Benbow” Creary from The Upsetters, and from Ritchie Daley of Third World. Several reggae sounds also featured organ shuffle sound mastered by keyboard artists like Jackie Mittoo and Winston Wright.

Emergence in Jamaica 

Reggae began to take over from ska in the late 1960s with hits like Larry And Alvin’s “Nanny Goat.” the Beltones’ “No More Heartaches,” and Lee “Scratch” Perry’s “People Funny Bwoy.” But, the music had also spread overseas with the legendary English group The Beatles recording the hit “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” with a distinct reggae beat.

The Wailers, with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, grew in popularity, and emerged from the rocksteady era in association with Lee Perry’s studio artistry with early reggae hits like “Duppy Conqueror” and “Small Axe.” The Wailers remained strong on the Jamaican reggae scene and in collaboration with Englishman Chris Blackwell’s Island Records, broke reggae firmly on the international scene with the first reggae album “Catch A Fire” in 1972. The Wailers went on to release more great hits like “Put it On,” “Get Up, Stand Up” and  “I Shot The Sheriff,” which was also covered by British singer Eric Clapton. In 1974 the group produced another classic album, Natty Dread, released in 1975, featuring hits like “Talking Blues,” “No Woman, No Cry” and “Rebel Music.”

The group split in 1975, with Tosh going solo, and became known as Bob Marley and the Wailers, with the background harmony provided by the female trio—The I-Threes (Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, and Marcia Griffiths). 

Tosh became a legend in his own night with hits like “Buckingham Palace,” “Legalize It” and “Momma Africa,” while Marley rose to iconic reggae status with hit after hit including, “Crazy Baldhead,” “Who The Cap Fit,” “War,” “One Love,” “Redemption Song,” “Exodus,” and later shortly before his death in 1981, reggae love songs like “Waiting in Vain,” and “Is This Love.”

There are too many outstanding reggae artists to include in this limited space, but special mention must be made of the Third World Band that emerged in the mid-1970s with a distinctive, very professional reggae sound produced by a talented group including, Ritchie Daley, Steven “Cat” Coore, Michael “Ibo” Cooper, Irvin “Carrot: Jarett, Willie Stewart (renowned drummer now stationed in South Florida), and vocalist Bunny Rugs. The groups many hits like, “Now That We’ve Found Love,” “96 Degrees In The Shade,” and “Try Jah Love” were intensely popular in Jamaica and globally. The band is still playing currently.

International popularity

 One of the reasons for the lasting popularity of the genre is its influence internationally. Several international artists had Reggae hits. These artists included  First Three Dog Night’s cover of the Maytones’ hit “Black and White in” 1972; Johnny Nash’s hit, “I Can See Clearly Now” and Paul Simon’s “Mother and Child Reunion” also in 1972. 

Reggae’s international influence would spread in 1973 onwards with the movie “The Harder They Come” starring Jamaican singer turned actor Jimmy Cliff. The movie was shown in theaters around the world, introducing Jamaican culture, specifically reggae.

Over the years, reggae has grown in popularity in countries like Japan, England, Germany, the U.S., and several African countries, and spawned a hybrid sound called reggaeton with the Latin beat in Latin America.

A powerful indication of the international influence of reggae was that in 1985 the Grammy Awards introduced the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album category.

In February 2008, then-Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding sanctioned February as Reggae Month in Jamaica, and in February 2008 the Recording Industry Association of Jamaica also staged its first Reggae Academy Awards.

In November 2018, remarkably, the genre was added to the UNESCO‘s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, recognizing that reggae’s “contribution to international discourse on issues of injustice, resistance, love, and humanity underscores the dynamics of the element as being at once cerebral, socio-political, sensual and spiritual.”

Former Jamaica Observer editorial assistant Kesian Bennett has always been a quick thinker. These days, she puts her wit on the table at her newly established Kingston 21 restaurant in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. After moving to the forward-thinking cultural heart of the UAE in 2018 with her commercial lawyer partner, the St Catherine native longed for the culinary traditions of home. Finding none, Bennett forged her path to becoming a restaurateur of the first Jamaican restaurant in Abu Dhabi during a pandemic.

The restaurant's name pays direct homage to the district of Jamaica's capital city Kingston. With 20 postal codes attributed to the city, Kingston 21 is the 21st code to visit, a play on the concept. Since opening her establishment in April 2021, Bennett has stayed close to her agricultural roots, choosing fresh ingredients where possible and working with her chefs to create fusion dishes. Cooking is nothing new.

“I came from a single-parent home. I learned to cook from an early age by watching my mum. Growing up in a small household, you get to interact with the cooking process,” Bennett shares.

“She kept a consistent hand in her culinary passions into adulthood. The menu doesn't hide spices, nor does it deny accessible flavours. Like the Jamdown Jerk Beetroot. The dish was created with vegans in mind. Marinated in jerk seasoning and sautéed, the cooking method coaxes flavour out of the humble beet. It has already become a best-seller, and some patrons even say it tastes like meat. Slowly smoked on the grill to capture the ancient techniques of the Arawak and Taino tribes, Bennett allows history to talk to us on a single plate.

But that's not the only crowd-pleaser. The Portland Grilled Lobster takes patrons on a seaside journey to Portland, home of the best Jamaican Jerk seafood. Golden from the basting of garlic jerk butter, white lobster meat soaks in this buttery combination. The result is a mouthful of sweet and salty tenderness. Deep Fried Mac & Cheese

With the restaurant overlooking a canal, water views are enviable. Just like the views around the island. Travels around the archipelago region remind Bennett of home. The Saadiyat island, for example, can easily be mistaken for Negril's Seven Mile beach. Silky white sands framed by architectural mastery are also a reminder of Bennett's Jamaica. Showcasing authentic ingredients from her home country is important. Abu Dhabi doesn't have proper Jamaican coffee, and there's where Kingston 21 has started to offer patrons something different.

“We are working towards branding our Jamaican coffee and offering it online as well as in supermarkets in Abu Dhabi. Both locals and expats love it,” she informs. With the pandemic providing ample opportunities for pivoting, her venue is also available for event hire and can offer tailored catering packages to businesses. Today, Bennett's journey is a far cry from proofreading and editing educational supplements. Instead of working with books, she's working with soul food. In an entire city, here stands a woman whose confidence is her strength and whose menu is from the soul of her country.

Jamaica is traditionally described as the “land of wood and water,” but that description would be more accurate, as the “the land of wood, water and music.”

Music, and dance, have been a part of Jamaica’s history dating back to slavery—serving as expressions of faith, hope, resistance, love, romance, and national pride. Over the years, Jamaican music has evolved from its traditional roots that included gospel, pocomania, quadrill, dinki mini, and Zion revival music. Influenced by the African culture from which enslaved people in Jamaica originated, the music throughout the early years featured heavy use of drums, and wind instruments like bamboo flutes.

As the slaves grew emboldened to seek emancipation from the British colonial masters, and influenced by visiting Christian evangelists, Revivalism grew into not just an appeal to a higher power, but into a movement characterized by passionate, pulsating revival music and dance.

The Revival ritual involves singing, drumming, dancing, hand-clapping, foot-stomping, and groaning along with the use of prayers to invite spiritual possession. It also includes music and songs from orthodox religion. Revivalism still exists in Jamaica, found chiefly in the parishes of Kingston, St. Andrew, St. Catherine, St. Elizabeth and St. Ann.

After emancipation in the 1860s, another genre of music evolved out of, and side by side with, Revivalism. This genre was called mento—a fusion of African and British influences, which was played liberally during the plantation period providing much-needed entertainment and relief for mostly rural Jamaicans toiling under colonialism.

Rhythms of Mento

Mento music placed a strong emphasis on a rhythm created by the combination of drums, banjo guitars, flutes, and horns.  

Mento is described as having a “performance mode with a rhythmic impulse, with a response type of singing that is African in origin, while the scale patterns, harmonic concepts, and verse and chorus song types are British.” But, when performed, it was quintessentially Jamaican.

Mento is regarded in some circles as the Jamaican equivalent to calypso. While some of the songs were aired regularly, others were banned as they were thought to be too sexually explicit. Mento was first recorded by artistes such as Lord Flea and Lord Fly and ‘Sugar Belly’ Walker. In the 1960s and early 70s, one of Jamaica’s more popular dance bands, Carlos Malcolm and the Troubadours, featured mento heavily in its repertoire. Among the band’s greatest hits was ‘Rukumbine’ a distinctively mento song with sexual overtones.

In the 1950s and early 60s, the music in Jamaica took on a more populist form. Sound system like Dule Reid and Coxones emerged and played to large enthusiastic audiences and dancers at venues like the Silver Slipper Club in Cross Roads, and Chocomo Lawn on North Street in Kingston. But like music played on local radio Station RJR, and then JBC from 1959, it was mainly foreign in origin.

In the late 1950s, more young Jamaicans emerged as singers and musicians and began recording their music. Around this time a young politician of Lebanese descent, Edward Seaga, who developed a keen interest in Jamaican music and artists, established a modern recording studio that released early recordings of ‘blues’ artists like Higgs and Wilson and the Blues Busters, and a new, extremely popular band, Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. In 1962, Seaga sold the company to Byron Lee, who renamed it Dynamic Sounds which would grow in influence to the development of Jamaican music to be regarded as Jamaica’s Motown.    

The explosion of singers, musicians and recording studios in Jamaica in the late 50s produced a new Jamaican musical genre – Ska. 

The birth of Ska

Ska, a combined musical element of mento and calypso with some infusion of American jazz and rhythm and blues, featuring a strong bass line with upbeat rhythms from guitar, saxophone and even the piano, or keyboard. 

In the early 1960s ska was insanely popular and was the dominant music genre for Jamaicans of all classes. The music was definitely made for dancing. Bands like Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, and the Skatalities, pulled large crowds wherever they played. One of the more popular clubs to dance the ska was the Glass Bucket Club on Half-Way-Tree Road in St. Andrew, where Jamaicans, including many overseas visitors, came to dance the ska; bending low, swinging their arms upwards and downwards, side by side, backwards and forward, while lifting their legs bent at the knees alternatively to the beat.

Traditional ska bands like the Skatalites featured bass, drums, guitars, keyboards, horns with sax, trombone and trumpet being most common. Individual members of the Skatalites like Don Drummond on trombone, and Jackie Mittoo on keyboards stood out as outstanding ska artists.

The lyrics of ska were often about the prevailing socio-economic commentaries of the less privileged in the society at the time. Popular songs of the ska era included Count Ossie’s “Oh Carolina,” Prince Buster’s “It’s Burke Law” and Desmond Keer and the Aces, “Shanty Town.”

The music and dance were so popular that two Jamaican dancers, Ronnie Nassralla, who died recently, and his partner Jeanette Phillips were invited to the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City, along with acclaimed Jamaican musicians, where they performed this new Jamaican dance to great acclaim.

Ska hits popularized by Jamaican artists like Prince Buster, Stranger Cole, Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Dekker, and Deryck Morgan got heavy airplay on Jamaican radio. When JBC-TV went live in 1963, some local entertainment programs featured ska bands and dancers.

Ska gradually gained popularity overseas, especially in Jamaican diaspora communities in the U.S., UK and Canada. It was the first real exposure of Jamaican music to the rest of the world.

Without a doubt, ska set a musical standard for genres that followed it such as rocksteady, reggae and dancehall. With ska, Jamaican music secured its niche, replacing American rock and roll and R&B as the main attraction at Jamaican clubs and house parties.

Mapped: The World’s Fastest (and Slowest) Internet Speeds

How quickly did this page load for you?

The answer depends on the device you’re using, and where in the world you’re located. Average internet speeds vary wildly from country to country.

Which countries have the fastest internet connection? Using data from the Speedtest Global Index™, this map ranks the fastest (and slowest) internet speeds worldwide, comparing both fixed broadband and mobile.

What Factors Affect Internet Speed?

Before diving in, it’s important to understand the key factors that impact a country’s internet speed. Generally speaking, internet speed depends on:

1. Infrastructure or the type of cabling (copper or fiber-optic) that a country’s utilizing to support their internet service. Typically, the newer the infrastructure, the faster the connection.
2. Proximity/connection to submarine cables is important, as these massive undersea fiber-optic cables transmit about 97% of the world’s communication data.
3. The size of a country, since landmass affects how much it costs to upgrade infrastructure. The smaller the country, the cheaper it is to upgrade cabling.
4. Investment makes a difference, or how much a country’s government prioritizes internet accessibility.

Of course, other factors may influence a country’s internet speed too, such as government regulation and intentional bandwidth throttling, which is the case in countries like Turkmenistan.

Ranked: Fixed Broadband Internet Speeds

The Future is 5G

Innovation and new technologies are changing the digital landscape, and things like 5G networks are becoming more mainstream across the globe.

Because of the rapidly changing nature of this industry, the data behind this ranking is updated monthly to provide the latest look at internet speeds across the globe.

This means the bar is gradually raising when it comes to internet speed, as faster, stronger internet connections become the norm. And countries that aren’t equipped to handle these souped-up networks will lag behind even further.

Michael Holding is set to bring to a close one of the most distinguished modern broadcasting careers when he hangs up his mic at the end of this season, ESPNcricinfo has learnt. 

Holding has been part of Sky Sports commentary team for over two decades now, a role he has fulfilled with at least as much distinction as his playing career. Holding is widely regarded as one of the game's greatest pace bowlers, playing 60 Tests and 102 ODIs for West Indies from 1975 to 1987, and becoming an integral part of the all-conquering West Indies' sides of the era. 

He began his commentary career in 1988 in the Caribbean, and quickly brought the same grace to the commentary box as his run-up during his playing days, an approach so smooth it earned him the nickname of 'Whispering Death'. But Holding, 66, never held back from expressing some forthright opinions on the game, not least that he wouldn't commentate in domestic T20 leagues because he thought it wasn't cricket.

Modern viewers would have seen another side of Holding last year. Having been keenly aware that the significance of the West Indian teams he played for went far beyond the field of play, the Black Lives Matter movement in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd last year, became a moment for Holding's voice to be heard loud and clear once again. His eloquent, heartfelt and personal piece to Sky's cameras on racism and inequality became one of the broadcast highlights of year, eventually winning two broadcast awards in the UK.

Holding won the Royal Television Society (RTS) Award for Sports Presenter, Commentator or Pundit and the channel, the best Sport Programme award. The RTS said Holding "captured the mood of the event perfectly, bringing a personal perspective to bear on a moment of huge significance" when talking about Floyd's murder and the movement it sparked. 

That led, this year, to his acclaimed book, 'Why We Kneel, How We Rise' dealing with racism in sport.

Holding was unafraid to show the emotion that he did in that piece of programming. Pakistani fans and viewers will remember his broadcast in the aftermath of the spot-fixing scandal in 2010, a summer in which he was commentating and admiring the skills of Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir. The pair were found to have been involved in spot-fixing during the Lord's Test. Holding, who had been on air during one of Amir's bigger no-balls, needed a moment to compose himself when he talked of the sadness of a talented 18-year-old bowler getting dragged into fixing.

"I am not too sure how much further than 2020 I will be going with commentary. I cannot see myself going much further down the road at my age. I am 66 years old now, I am not 36, 46 or 56," Holding was quoted as saying by Press Trust of India on a radio talk show.

"I told (Sky) that I could not commit to more than a year at a time. If this year gets totally destroyed, I might have to think about 2021 because I can't just walk away from Sky, a company that has done so much good for me."

We’re here to fill you in on the best comfortable and stylish clothes for your babies this summer. The typical rule of thumb to remember is to dress your baby in one extra layer of clothing than what you feel comfortable in.

Singlets

Singlets are probably the most preferred choice of clothing for the little ones in hot weather. Not only are they comfortable but they’re light and breezy. Letting the air easily reach those tiny arms and legs. Some singlets come in onesie types which cover the diaper area as well. But for tank tops, you can pair some cute shorts, or a skirt to go with. Otherwise you can even leave on the vest with just the nappy. If you’re going out in the sun, remember to use the appropriate amount of sunscreen on your baby.

Rompers

Most parents only think of rompers as a sleeping suit or casual wear. But rompers can also be worn outside in the heat. Short sleeved or sleeveless rompers are probably the perfect outfit for your baby. They cover the diaper and serve the purpose of a shirt for the torso area. You can find some incredible baby rompers in Pakistan. Our pick for you would be Cocobee. Cocobee is an online website highly popular for their baby bodysuits and rompers. Their collection is absolutely jaw dropping. 

Skorts

Ever heard of skorts? They’re a mixture of skirts and shorts. Skorts are super in fashion nowadays. They’re a good balance between shorts and skirts. So if you can’t decide whether to style your baby in shorts or a skirt, skorts are the right way to go. 

Dresses

When you think of summer, you think of dresses. Dresses are flowy, breezy and light. A perfect fit to be worn in the burning hot sun. Also, the cuteness dresses add to your baby’s look is a whole other level. Dresses are easy to wear as well, so your child will rarely be fussy when dressed in an adorable little beach or summer dress.

Sandals

While most of us get done with the clothing part easily, some of us struggle on footwear. You don’t want your child’s feet feeling suffocated or too warm in a pair of shoes. For summer, our suggestion would be a pair of eye-catching sandals. Simple, comfortable and modish!

Accessorize

 Add some fun, pretty accessories to your baby’s look. Hats are such a charming little accessory to include. They’re also a must have in the sun. If you’re having a baby’s day out on the beach perhaps, a hat will come in handy to block the heat directly on your kid’s face.  Bows and ribbons are my personal favorite, they’re so chic! If you’re looking for a less casual and fancier look, simply add a belt. A belt can be worn in so many different ways. On a dress, on shorts, on skirts, and what not? Don’t just worry about the clothes, worry about your kids’ accessories too! In all seriousness, if you’re styling your kid’s outfit, do it the right way.
