However, until the early seventies, reggae was virtually unknown in most of the world.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2018n roll had done a decade earlier.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2014a 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\u2019ll discuss in this blog.<\/p>\n<p>SYNCOPATION<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The most common reggae drum rhythm is called \u2018one drop,\u2019 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 \u2018steppers\u2019 reggae rhythm is a variation, with a four-on-the-floor kick.<\/p>\n<p>There also is a lot of emphasis in reggae on a heavily syncopated and often very melodic bass, usually played slightly behind the beat. The central place of the bass in reggae was a precursor of the huge bass that would later characterize hip-hop, and that has since become commonplace in pretty much all popular music today.<\/p>\n<p>BIRTHPLACE<\/p>\n<p>Bob Marley was at the heart of the birth of reggae. He was born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6<sup>th<\/sup>, 1945 in Nine Mile in northern Jamaica. His mother, Cedella Malcolm, was 18-years old when he was born, black, and a descendant from the Akan people of Ghana and the Ivory Coast, who were abducted to the Americas as slaves.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Marley father, Norvel Sinclair Marley, was 60-years old, white, and of British and Syrian descent. Norvel Marley died in 1955 at the age of 70, when the young Bob was only 10 years old. The fact that Marley was of mixed race meant that he grew up as an outcast in Jamaican society.<\/p>\n<p>Around the time that his father died, Marley\u2019s mother and he moved to Trench Town, slum neighborhood of the capital of Jamaica, Kingston, that has become known as the birthplace of rocksteady and reggae.<\/p>\n<p>Marley and his mother moved in with Thadeus Livingston, and his son, Neville Livingston, who later became known as Bunny Wailer. Neville and Bob spent time listening to the latest R&amp;B on US radio stations and the emerging ska music. The two teenage boys also started to sing together.<\/p>\n<p>FIRST NUMBER ONE<\/p>\n<p>Bob Marley had aspirations of a music career at a very young age. In 1962, still only 17, he recorded four songs in a ska style with local producer Leslie Kong. In 1963, Marley and Livingston started a vocal group, together with Peter McIntosh, Beverly Kelso and Junior Brathwaite. They called themselves The Teenagers, later changed to The Wailing Rudeboys, The Wailing Wailers, and eventually just The Wailers.<\/p>\n<p>Within a year The Wailers had recorded a single, called \u201cSimmer Down,\u201d accompanied by the ska group The Skatalites and produced by producer Clement \u201cCoxsone\u201d Dodd, also well-known as a sound system DJ in Kingston. Written by Marley, the ska song went to number one in Jamaica in February 1964 and sold an estimated 70.000 copies.<\/p>\n<p>By 1965 the sextet had whittled down to a trio of Marley, Livingston, and Peter McIntosh, now called \u201cTosh.\u201d An album of their best recordings called <em>The Wailing Wailer, <\/em>produced by Clement Dodd and recorded at Jamaica Recording Studio in Kingston, was released at the end of 1965. The music was still predominantly in a ska style.<\/p>\n<p>THE RASTAFARI INFLUENCE<\/p>\n<p>In 1966, Marley converted to the Rastafari religion, which had a fundamental impact on him. One influence was musical, and came from the traditional music of Rastafari, nyabingi, which is blend of 19<sup>th<\/sup> century gospel music and African drumming, and aims to bring about a state of heightened spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>The ecstatic and trance-like nature of Marley\u2019s later music and performances also were directly related to Rastafari, as were the political and religious nature of many of his lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>Rastafari emerged in Jamaica in the 1930s, as both a religious and a social movement. Famously, the smoking of cannabis is regarded as a religious ritual with healing properties. By the 1950s, Rastafari had become widespread in Jamaica.<\/p>\n<p>By placing his Rastafari beliefs at the heart of his lyrics and music, Bob Marley became the world\u2019s main spokesman for the Rastafari religion, and also for the poor and oppressed in Jamaica and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The protest songs, dreadlocks and cannabis smoking that were related to Rastafari would a few years later help to catapult Marley right in the middle of the Western counter culture. His name spelled revolution and rebellion, and for decades many teenage bedrooms were adorned by two huge posters: one of Che Guevara, the other of Bob Marley.<\/p>\n<p>SUPERSTAR POTENTIAL<\/p>\n<p>Pete Tosh and Livingston also became Rastafari in 1966. The three Wailers, founded a label called Wail\u2019n\u2019 Soul\u2019m, and together with The Soul Brothers released a successful rocksteady song called \u201cBend Down Low.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1967, The Wailers teamed up with American producer Danny Sims and recorded a lot of new material. Sims is credited today with being the first non-Jamaican to recognize Marley\u2019s superstar potential. He signed Marley to his publishing company, Cayman Music, an arrangement that would last until 1977.<\/p>\n<p>When Sims and Nash moved to London in the late sixties, The Wailers sought out top level Jamaican producer Lee \u2018Scratch\u2019 Perry for their next recording project. Together with his house band, The Upsetters, The Wailers and Perry recorded many now classic rocksteady songs, amongst them \u201cDuppy Conqueror,\u201d \u201cSoul Almighty,\u201d and \u201cSmall Axe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RAGGED<\/p>\n<p>Working with Perry helped Marley and The Wailers to further define the reggae style. In so doing they were also influenced by a reggae song by The Maytals, released in 1968, called \u201cDo the Reggay,\u201d which gave the genre its name. According to songwriter Toots Hibbert, \u2018reggay\u2019 is a slang term for someone who is scruffy. It\u2019s assumed to be derived from the word rags or ragged clothes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo The Reggay,\u201d was produced by Leslie Kong, who Marley had recorded Marley\u2019s very first efforts. By May 1970, and still chasing major international success, The Wailers sought out Kong again and recorded an entire album with him as producer at Dynamic Sound Studios in Kingston. It was not released until August 1971 as <em>The Best of the Wailers. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the 15 months between the recording and release of <em>The Best Of The Wailers, <\/em>the Wailers went back into the studio with Lee \u2018Scratch\u2019 Perry and The Upsetters. At Randy\u2019s Studio 17 in Kingston they recorded the group\u2019s third album, <em>Soul Rebels.<\/em> It was released in December 1970, before <em>The Best of the Wailers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Soul Rebels <\/em>was a major achievement, and the first album released under the name Bob Marley and the Wailers. It\u2019s also the first album on which Marley\u2019s reggae direction was fully realised.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, in 1971, another album by Bob Marley and the Wailers was released, with music from the same sessions. Called <em>Soul Revolution<\/em> it also was produced by Perry and released on his Upsetter label.<\/p>\n<p>ANTHEMIC<\/p>\n<p>Marley, Tosh and Livingston now decided to also play their own instruments. Marley played guitar, Tosh guitar and keyboards, and Livingston percussion. They were backed by two musicians from the Upsetters, bassist Aston \u2018Family Man\u2019 Barrett and his brother and drummer Carlton. This classic line-up of The Wailers was completed by backing singers Marcia Griffiths and Marley\u2019s wife Rita Marley.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of 1971 Danny Sims managed to sign both Johnny Nash and Bob Marley to the CBS label Epic, and in February 1972, Sims, Nash and Marley flew out to London. Marley convinced Sims to also fly over the rest of the Wailers. They met up with the then already legendary producer and label-owner Chris Blackwell, who had co-founded Island Records, in 1959.<\/p>\n<p>Blackwell asked the band how much they needed to record an album, and when they replied 4000 pounds, he simply wrote them a cheque for the amount. When Blackwell flew to Jamaica a few months later and looked up the band, he discovered that they\u2019d used the money to record a master piece, with remarkable songs like \u201cConcrete Jungle,\u201d \u201cSlave Driver,\u201d and \u201cStir It Up.\u201d <em>Catch A Fire <\/em>was released on April 13, 1973, and has become widely recognised as one of the best reggae albums ever made.<\/p>\n<p>Eager to capture the momentum of <em>Catch a Fire, <\/em>a follow up was recorded quickly, and released half a year later.<em> Burnin\u2019 <\/em>was also recorded in Kingston and mixed in London, and the three core tracks: \u201cGet Up, Stand Up,\u201d \u201cI Shot the Sheriff,\u201d and \u201cBurnin\u2019 and Lootin,\u201d demonstrated Marley\u2019s amazing talent for writing seriously catchy anthemic songs.<\/p>\n<p>A year later Eric Clapton had a worldwide hit with his cover of \u201cI Shot The Sheriff,\u201d which played a large part in putting Bob Marley\u2019s name on the map for white rock audiences. Clapton\u2019s version was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>MEMORABLE<\/p>\n<p>Pete Tosh and Bunny Livingston left The Wailers, and Marley and a partially new band recorded <em>Natty Dread, <\/em>which was released in October 1974. The album contains classics like \u201cNo Woman, No Cry and \u201cLively Up Yourself,\u201d and has been called Marley\u2019s \u201cfinest album,\u201d and \u201cthe ultimate reggae recording of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of Marley and the Wailers\u2019 ecstatic, dance and trance-inducing live performances were documented for posterity on the album <em>Live!, <\/em>recorded at the Lyceum in London on July 17 and 18, 1975. It was released at the end of 1975, and continues to be regarded as one of the best live albums of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Riding high on the success of <em>Live!, <\/em>Marley and The Wailers recorded <em>Rastaman Vibration, <\/em>which was released in April 1976, and their first album entirely produced by the band itself\u2014previous albums released on Island Records had been co-produced by The Wailers and Chris Blackwell.<\/p>\n<p>In recognition of Bob Marley and the Wailer\u2019s extraordinary live achievements, Rolling Stone magazine named them Band of the Year at the end of 1976. Everything seemed to be going well for Marley, but on December 3, gunmen attacked Marley\u2019s home, and his manager, his wife Rita and Marley himself all sustained bullet wounds.<\/p>\n<p>Marley left Jamaica soon afterwards. He spent the whole of 1977 and the beginning of 1978 in the UK. During the first half of 1977 he recorded two albums at Island Studios in London, <em>Exodus <\/em>\u00a0and <em>Kaya.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Exodus<\/em> was released in June of 1977, and contains many classic songs, amongst them \u201cNatural Mystic,\u201d \u201cSo Much Things To Say,\u201d \u201cThe Heathen,\u201d \u201cExodus,\u201d \u201cJamming,\u201d \u201cTurn Your Lights Down Low,\u201d \u201cOne Love,\u201d and \u201cThree Little Birds.\u201d In 1999, Time magazine listed <em>Exodus<\/em> as the best album of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kaya <\/em>was released in March 1978 and much more laid-back, to the point that there were accusations of the Wailers having gone soft. But it contained the classic songs \u201cSatisfy My Soul\u201d and \u201cIs This Love,\u201d Marley\u2019s best-selling single and another demonstration of his exceptional gift for melody and writing memorable lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>Another widely lauded live album was released in November 1978, <em>Babylon By Bus, <\/em>mostly recorded in June that year in Paris. Two more albums followed, both recorded in Jamaica at Marley\u2019s Tuff Gong studios. <em>Survival <\/em>was released in October 1979, and co-produced by The Wailers with American producer Alex Sadkin. <em>Uprising <\/em>was co-produced by Marley and Chris Blackwell, and the last studio album released during Marley\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>INDELIBLE IMPRINT<\/p>\n<p>Marley had been diagnosed with malignant melanoma under his toenail in July 1977. Marley failed to have further check-ups, and in September 1980 he collapsed while jogging in Central Park in New York. The diagnosis was that he had only weeks to live. Marley died in Miami on May 11<sup>th<\/sup>, 1981, at the age of 36, and received a state funeral in Jamaica on May 21<sup>st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Marley\u2019s legacy continues to live, arguably even more strongly than during his lifetime. Marley\u2019s \u00a013<sup>th<\/sup> and final studio album, <em>Confrontation, <\/em>that collates previously unreleased material, singles and reworked demos, was released in 1983. It contains the now classic song \u201cBuffalo Soldier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A year later, in May 1984, the compilation album <em>Legend <\/em>\u00a0was released, which became Bob Marley and the Wailers\u2019 best-selling album, and one of the best-selling albums of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Marley was posthumously inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. In 2001, he was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2010, his 1973 album <em>Catch A Fire <\/em>was inducted in the Grammy Hall Of Fame. The BBC named \u201cOne Love\u201d Song Of the Millennium. Marley\u2019s music continues to be played and revered around the world, and reggae influences have permeated everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>During the funeral ceremony in May 1981, Edward Seaga, the then Jamaican Prime Minister, summarized Marley\u2019s achievements eloquently. He said, \u201cMarley\u2019s voice was an omnipresent cry in our electronic world. His sharp features, majestic looks, and prancing style a vivid etching on the landscape of our minds. Bob Marley was never seen. He was an experience which left an indelible imprint with each encounter. Such a man cannot be erased from the mind. He is part of the collective consciousness of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only addition to be made is that Marley makes a deep imprint on everyone everywhere, and continues to be part of the collective consciousness of the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2021, Paul Tingen<\/p>\n<p>www.tingen.org<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the\u00a0video below to learn more about Bob Marley!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGeG85clM0UWstZnclMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today the influence of reggae is everywhere, and a world without it would be unthinkable.
