Black History Month gets a special level of attention in Jamaica not merely because of its legendary African heritage, but because February is also Reggae Month. Certainly, they have more than one reason to celebrate. During the early years of the post-Independence i. The roots of the Rastafari-reggae nexus traces back to early decades of the twentieth century.
During the s, Marcus Garvey—the Jamaican-born champion of Pan-Africanism—mobilized millions of Black people in Harlem and across the Diaspora with his vision of racial upliftment and a return to Africa. Decades later, roots reggae music would serve as the medium to carry that message with anthems praising the divinity of the Emperor, recalling the historic struggles of the Jamaican people, and condemning the ongoing inequities and forms of injustice that affect not only Black people, but peoples everywhere.
Since the s, reggae—in its varied genres e. Since the late s, reggae has been the primary popular style of music in Jamaica. Its origins reflect the cultural hybridity for which the Caribbean is known. Mento —a rural-based music that developed from the period of slavery and which came to be influenced by Trinidadian calypso in the urban context of Kingston, was then the popular music.
By the late fifties, a new style known as ska burst onto the urban scene. The tempo of the music was energetic and upbeat, something that most observers take to reflect the Jamaican national mood in the run-up to Independence.
The ska era is of note for several other reasons. It was during this period s to that sound system dances were in swing in urban Kingston, with many young musicians being influenced by the music that was played. During this period, sound systems—essentially mobile speakers with turntables and amplifiers—became a Black space of national affiliation, significant as one of the only venues in which Jamaican youth began to cross class lines.
Notable ska artists influenced by the sound system phenomena would go on to become reggae artists: notably, the Wailers, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, and Toots and the Maytals. By , as the economic expectations around Independence failed to materialize, the mood of the country shifted—and so did Jamaican popular music. A new but short-lived music, dubbed rocksteady, was ushered in as urban Jamaicans experienced widespread strikes and violence in the ghettoes. The symbolism of the name rocksteady, as some have suggested, appeared to be an aesthetic effort to bring stability and harmony to a shaky social order.
The pace of the music slowed with less emphasis on horns and instrumentalists and more on drums, bass, and social commentary. Needless to say, topical songs, a staple of Caribbean music more generally, were at home in both ska and rocksteady compositions. Reggae music entered the scene in , retaining the basic rhythmic structures of the popular styles that preceded it.
This included the syncopated snare drum and hi-hat pulse of ska, the swaying guitar and bass interplay of rocksteady, along with the continuing influence of mento and the Nyahbinghi drumming tradition.
But it was the topical character of so much reggae that launched a musical revolution. But it was not the Rastafari themselves who enabled this template.
