THE FANTASTIC FIVE
LET THE CREATIVITY FLOW
Jamaican Popular Music is a site of contestation about
notions of power, class and culture.
Analyze this statement using appropriate examples.
THE 5 DIFFERENT GENRES OF
JAMAICAN POPULAR MUSIC
MENTO
The great-grandfather of
reggae.
Mento music had its beginnings in
Jamaica in the 19th century, and
was uniquely Jamaican fusion of
African and European musical
traditions.
The first Jamaican genre
of music.
But it wasn't until the early 1950s that
true mento recordings first began to
appear on 78 RPM discs. This decade
was mento’s golden age, as a variety
of artists recorded mento songs in an
assortment of rhythms and styles. It
was the peak of mento's creativity and
popularity in Jamaica and the birth of
Jamaica's recording industry.
MENTO in the 1970s
Stanley & The Turbines - Leave My Kisi Loo - 1977
The fourth Jamaican genre of
music.
[Verse 1]
A chiney man from Montego Bay
Come up a town to make up a stay
He was crazy over a decent girl
Yes, and him get one with many a
curves
Him say, "Gyal! I love you to death"
"Free food and money you shouldn't
get"
"But it's one thing you got to
understand..."
"You must not romp with a nehgah
man!"
[Hook]
Why oh?!
Why oh?!
Nehgah man a trouble mi kisiloo?
Why oh?!
Why oh?!
A nehgah man a trouble mi kisiloo?
[Verse 2]
I am begging you a chance Mr
Chan,
I try to do better next time!
What, you beg me chance?
Me no need chance, no Chan
I say you pack up your things and
go home
I don't want no niggaman come
bruck my bone
Why oh, why oh, niggaman na
trouble me kisiloo!
Why oh, why oh, niggaman na
trouble me kisiloo!
Leave my kisiloo, leave my kisiloo,
leave my kisiloo
Niggaman leave my kisiloo!
SKA
The grandfather of reggae.
Ska is a combined musical element of
Caribbean Mento and Calypso with a bit
of American Jazz and also Rhythm and
Blues.
It separates itself from other musical
genres due to its walking bass line
accented with rhythms on the upbeat.
In the early 1960s, Ska was the
dominant music genre of Jamaica. Ska
music was made for dancing. It stands
out because the music is upbeat, quick
and exciting.
The second Jamaican genre
of music.
SKA in the 1960s
Stranger Cole - Rough & Tough - 1962
The fourth Jamaican genre of
music.
Who are you
That I
Should be mindful of
You ran for refuge
And were rescued
That's a fact
Then why lie
And try to bite
The hand that feed you
Yes, the good you do lives after you
You could puff
Huff and puff
Til you bus'
It shall be rough
Rough and tough
On your side
So stop lie
Don't try to bite
The hands that feed you
For the good you do lives after you.
ROCKSTEADY
The father of reggae.
A successor to Ska and a precursor to
Reggae, Rocksteady is a musical entity
originated in Jamaica around 1966.
Rocksteady uses some of the musical
elements of rhythm and blues (R&B),
Jazz, Ska, African and Latin American
drumming, and other genres.
The term rocksteady comes from a
dance style that was mentioned in Alton
Ellis’ song "Rock Steady". Ba Ba Boom
was during the height of the rocksteady
“craze”.
The third Jamaican genre
of music.
ROCKSTEADY in the 1960s
Desmond Dekker - 007 Shanty Town - 1966
The fourth Jamaican genre of
music.
007, 007
At ocean eleven
And now rudeboys a go wail
'Cause them out of jail
Rudeboys cannot fail
'Cause them must get bail
Oh, dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a
wail

Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a
wail
A shanty town

A shanty town

A shanty town
[Repeat above]
Police get taller
A shanty town
Soldier get longer
A shanty town
Rudeboy a weep and a wail
A shanty town
Rudeboy a weep and a wail
A shanty town
REGGAE
The father of dancehall.
The term “reggae” first developed in
Jamaica in the late 1960s. It properly
denotes a particular music style that
evolved out of the earlier genres like Ska
and Rocksteady.
Bob Marley is said to have claimed that
the word “reggae” came from a Spanish
term for "the king's music".
The liner notes of To the King, a
compilation of Christian gospel Reggae,
suggest that the word reggae was
derived from the Latin regi meaning "to
the king".
The fourth Jamaican genre of
music.
REGGAE in the 1970s
Delroy Wilson - Better Must Come - 1971
The fourth Jamaican genre of
music.
I've been trying a long, long time

wrong

Who God bless, no one curse
Thank God I'm not the worst
Better must come one day
Better must come, they can't
conquer me
Better must come [yea]
I've been trying a long, long time
But I can't make it
No one to give me a helping hand
The only tryna keep me down
Who God bless, no one curse
Thank God I’m not the worst
Oh my people get a seat
They're trying to take advantage of me
Better must come, better must come
Better must come one day
Better must come [yea yea yea yea]

There's no hope, no chance, no
loophole
No escape for a suffering man
'Cause every time I lift my head
above water
And try to save myself from drown
There's an overnight scheme all
worked out
Designed to keep ah me down
Blow wind blow, blow wind
blow
I want to stay home tonight
I long to spend some time
with the family
But staying home won't
make it right
Sometimes the pressure
make me feel like bawling
When every sign says no
way out
Breaking my back to make
an overtime dollar
That just goes from hand to
mouth
[Repeat Chorus]
Got to fight it
Got to fight it

CLTR3507 - The Fantastic Five: Let The Creativity Flow
DANCEHALL
The “wash belly” of
Jamaican Popular Music
In the mid-1980s, digital instrumentation became
more prevalent, changing the sound considerably,
with digital Dancehall becoming increasingly
characterized by faster rhythms.
The popularity of Dancehall has spawned dance
moves that help to make parties and stage
performances more energetic.
Many dance moves seen in Hip Hop videos are
actually variations of Dancehall dances. Examples of
such dances are: "Like Glue", "Bogle", "Tek Weh
Yuhself", "Whine Up", "To Di World", "Dutty Wine",
"Sweep", "Nuh Linga", "Skip to My Lou", "Gully
Creepa", "Bad Man Forward Bad Man Pull Up",
"Keeping it Jiggy", "Pon Di River", "Willie Bounce",
"Wacky Dip", "Screetchie" and "Daggering.”
