Jamaican Popular Music and Roots Reggae
Since the late 1960s, reggae has been the primary popular style of music in Jamaica. Its origins reflect the cultural hybridity for which the Caribbean is known. Reggae’s roots trace back to the late 1940s and 1950s when the Jamaican recording industry was in its infancy. 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.
As anthropologist Ken Bilby tells it, “Ska was born when urban Jamaican musicians began to play North American rhythm and blues, a style that had penetrated the island via imported records and radio broadcasts from Miami and other parts of the southern United States.”
In addition to the influences of jazz, the rhythmic patterns of Jamaica’s spiritual Afro-Revival music were combined with rhythm and blues to complete the new form known as ska. 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 (1950s to 1966) 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. It was also during the ska era that the heartbeat pulse of Rastafari sacred drumming, known as Nyahbinghi, exerted its influence on several ska songs, the most famous being “O’Carolina,” a composition by the Folkes Brothers and the legendary Rastafari drummer Count Ozzie (aka Oswald Williams).
