Mesh Match For "This Is Reggae Music" Paperback by Lloyd Bradley:Product Description
Run a Quick Search on "This Is Reggae Music" by Lloyd Bradley to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "This Is Reggae Music"Browse more products related to "Lloyd Bradley"Publisher's noteA comprehensive, powerfully written history of Jamaica's contribution to world culture--Reggae--traces the history of the form from African rhythms to the slums of Kingston and the international recording industry. Original. AnnotationBeginning with an in-depth dissection of the music's origins in the popular rise of the Jamaican sound systems, THIS IS REGGAE MUSIC is as much a political and social history of 20th-century Jamaica as a history of its music. Bradley's insightful study portrays reggae as inseparable from the political turmoil of the 1960s and '70s, with songs by artists as dissimilar as the deejay-turned-musician Prince Buster and the legendary Bob Marley frequently not only commenting upon current events but seeking to influence them, too. Time and again, in chapters on dub (which Bradley intriguingly compares to an esoteric obeah ritual), on dancehall, and on the rise of reggae's most notable exponent Bob Marley, the author comes up with fresh insights and fascinating cultural analysis, notably highlighting Marley's expertise in commercially exploiting his image while retaining his rootsy appeal. Reggae may have to take its cue from Marley's example; the commercial pressures accompanying its worldwide popularity, Bradley concludes, foreshadow another sea-change in this seemingly endlessly adaptable music's evolution.
