	Reggae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reggae is a style of music developed in Jamaica and is closely linked to the Rastafari movement, though not universally popular among Rastafarians.
		The experimental pioneering of such producers within often restricted technological parameters gave birth to dub reggae, and is seen by some music historians as one of the earliest (albeit analogue) contributions to the development of techno.
		Roots reggae was an important part of Jamaican culture, and whilst other forms of reggae have replaced it in terms of popularity in Jamaica (Dancehall for instance), roots reggae has found a small, but growing, niche globally.

		Jamaican reggae itself has shifted away from its traditional musical instruments, the electric guitar, drums and keyboard, and the current vogue is "ragga," a brand of dance-hall reggae, which usually has a simple, synthesized musical backing over which an MC will "toast" or rap, using lyrics characterized by "slackness" (obscenity), glamorizing sex and violence.
		African reggae’s biggest star, Alpha Blondie -- who has been called the successor to Bob Marley, and has recorded an album with Marley’s band, The Wailers -- is the most striking example of this.
		African reggae's biggest star, Alpha Blondy - who has been called the successor to Bob Marley, and has recorded an album with Marley's band, The Wailers - is the most striking example of this.

	African Reggae: an overview
		Reggae music, the music associated with irie feelings, dreadlocks and sunsplash, was dried up and gone, replaced by dancehall techno drivel that had no place on home stereo equipment.
		Africans have been making real "roots" reggae for 20 years, and it's fantastic stuff, largely unnoticed by an international market.
		Whereas, the Africans have carried on the tradition that was planted in Harare by Bob Marley, although it would be unfair to say that ragga has not increased in popularity.

	Mots Pluriels Kwaku Asante-Darko (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The pan-Africanist dimension of reggae music and its specific intellectual and emotional appeal are largely explicable in the light of the African origins of its Jamaican pioneers.
		Reggae musicians of Jamaica and elsewhere were more open to such advocacy and identified with its programme not only because they were Black people but also because they readily understood this phenomena in the context of the colonial experience of Jamaica.
		It is also worthy of note that in reggae performance this verbal or linguistic aspect is buttressed by a gymnastic dimension in which the gestures and steps of tiredness which accompany the narratives of the song symbolize the resisting posture of the persona and a desire to break free from physical and mental subjugation.

	Drumming, the Backbone
		The most influenced aspect of African music from the Islamic people was the role of the human voice and the use of melodic singing.
		Reggae, which dates back to 1969, is filled with sounds and ideas from the evolved Rasta music.
		Within Reggae music lies the hope for a profoundly compassionate society committed to freedom within a creative scale, which in turn are the founding guidelines for most of the dominant countries in power today.

	Reggae Reviews, Ismael Issac
		Although their styles are very similar (they both sing in French as well as native dialects), Ismael is less a copy of Blondy and more of an example of African reggae in general.
		Compared to Jamaican reggae, African reggae places noticeably less emphasis on the bass and use of electronic instrumentation.
		African reggae still focuses on the band and the result is a sound at a live performance that sounds just like the CD you might have listened to on the way to the show.

	Fly African Eagle: The Best of African Reggae
		Since the mid-'80s, when roots reggae began to die down in popularity (in relation to the surge of digital dancehall), one of the major forces in keeping quality roots alive has been the African reggae scene.
		To generalize, African reggae is distinguished musically by its live-instrument (non-digital) sound, which incorporates influences from not only Jamaican music, but also African, along with jazz, blues, and rock 'n roll.
		Vocally, African reggae often seems to provide emotional, airy melodies, often sung in one or more of the hundreds of languages/dialects spoken on the continent -- the diverse inflections inherent in these tongues enriching the sweetness of the vocals.

	African Head Charge
		Although this album is categorized as reggae (well, dub, to be specific), you'll have a hard time defining many of these tunes as such.
		Songs of Praise, like African Head Charge's previous albums, is a diaspora of sound, incorporating the feel of African, East Indian, reggae, dub, and Native American music rolled into one (The jazz fusion sound is relatively absent.), but this album is more suited to a mainstream audience (not that it's terribly accessible still).
		This compilation is streets ahead of the African reggae of Lucky Dube despite its distorted vocals, loops and general eccentricity.

	Reggae - African Showboyz
		Napoleon, Joseph, Moses, Issac and JJ Sabbah, all brothers, are the African Showboyz.
		He was to embark on a world journey in effort to bring recognition to the suffrage of the African people and feed his ever-growing family.
		There, sleeping in a tipi the Africans and the American Natives rejoiced on common ground with the drum and the concept of unity; and the Showboyz were honored in a ‘sweat’ under the August full moon.

	Jerri Jheto \|\| African Reggae High Life Music from MIG Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Most of this album is straightforward, bouncy roots, but there is a bit of an African edge to a few tracks, like "Time Will Come" and "Suffering." "Sunshine," possibly the best track on Let the People Decide, meanwhile has a sound of its own.
		The songs are mainly autobiographical with breakout lyrics including 'Hi Life Reggae', 'Ndere Ndere,' 'Kanayo' and 'Let's Work Together.' The tracks create a seamless whole from diverse sources and the gentle backing vocals help construct a cushion of sound for Jheto's distinctive and sincere vocal forays.
		This is as good a showcase of quality African reggae as I have heard (not that I'm an expert, by any means), ranking up there with the likes of Alpha Blondy's Apartheid Is Nazism, Isaac Haile Selassie's Unite, and the exceptional Reggae Africa compilation.

		Rather, the European "settlers" had come to stay, and subjugation of the local African populations was part of the bargain.
		Many South African artists started out singing in mission school choirs or in church, and when they made the jump to the commercial music world, a sophisticated recording industry awaited them.
		The 1976 student uprising in Soweto was a turning point; the young generation shunned their parents' choices including music and embraced what they thought was the more progressive forms of music, principally soul and disco.

		Reggae made by Jamaican and African artists, smuggled into the country on cassette or made in Ivory Coast and distributed secretly, helped give the rebels an identity, helped form them into an effective fighting force, helped inform them of their own history.
		African reggae displays both the local power and the international scope of music.

	Reggae Africa
		Although the continent of Africa is not traditionally seen as a source for reggae music, it has produced two of the most popular reggae artists of our time in Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy.
		The first half of this album is the strongest, with the first 6 tracks being the best on the album, but the remainder hold their own as well.
		The sound of African reggae as displayed on Reggae Africa is distinctly airy live-band roots with African drums and the exotic foreign language element.

		This record is not bad but in my opinion their Smash Hits album is a must when it comes to reggae, and this is truly not.

		Along with Lucky Dube, Blondy went on to establish an African reggae that emphasized horn sections, distinct call-and-response chants, and lyrics about Africa's problems and opportunities.
		Jamaica is still reggae's birthplace, but countries like the Ivory Coast and South Africa (where Dube is from) emerged as hotbeds of popular reggae music.
		Blondy has a history of using his music for social causes, and his San Francisco concerts are no exception: They're a benefit for refugees in the Darfur region of the Sudan, where a war between rebels and the government has led to large-scale death, dislocation and food problems.
