SKA Music History

We must learn to understand the meaning of a journey in time. So it is with remix music history. World War II that changed everything. State power in the British colonies collapsed before World War II breaks & Shop in the mid-war period. Given England independence to the country after receiving pressure from the colonial government colonies. Jamaica in 1962 to form their own government, although still a commonwealth country. Jamaica Culture & music began a new optimism reflected in the aspirations of society and liberal.

Since 40'an Jamaica has adopted & adapted the various forms of music from the United States. At the time of World War II ended, so many bands in Jamaica playing the music, dance music.
Groups such as the Eric Dean Orchestra with Don Drummond & trombonisnya master guitarists Ernest Ranglin influenced by jazz musicians such as Count Bassie America, Erskine Hawkins, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Woody Herman. In the fame 50'an jazz bands in America were replaced by small groups and tend to play rhythmically BOP / Rhythm & blues sound. Jamaican musicians who often visited the United States affected & bring pattern undefinedthe to the original music game. Bands like Count Jamaica Smith Blues Blaster, Sir Nick the Champ & Tom The Great Sebastian began playing a new style.

In 1954, the largest is the first performance was held in the town of Kingston Place at Ward Theater. The traditional band-mento, calypso rhythms and often took the band to fill the event in a hotel in Jamaica & around the island. At the end of the year 50'an influences of jazz, R & B, and mento (kind of calypso music) merged into a new form called 'shuffled'.

Rhythmic shuffled gained popularity thanks to the hard work of musicians, musicians such as Neville Esson, Owen Gray, The Overtakers & The Matador Allstars. Many record companies and studios development and keep trying to find new talent. The Jamaican Broadcasting Corporation also took the spirit of the musicians, young musicians through a program broadcast on the radio.

Two of the most influential in the development of music in Jamaica in 50'an Duke Reid and Clement Seymour Dodd. Together with his wife, Duke Reid has a shop 'Treasure Island Liquor' is located in the street Bond (Bond Street). Reid SOUND SYSTEM known as 'The Trojans', taken from notes written on his truck. Used trucks as transportation of goods to stores. Dodd called SOUND SYSTEM 'Sir Coxsone Song' taken from the original name of the Yorkshire bowler, Coxsone. Throughout the end of the decade, the second person to lead the competition in the music business. While Coxsone closer to the 'Ghetto' (village or a particular ethnic group) is that Reid Awarded as the 'King of sound & blues' at Success Club (Events) in 1956, 1957, 1958.

1962, Indonesia which has been devoted to music imitating the United States, Cecil Bustamente Campbell, later known as the 'Prince Buster', knew that something new is needed at that time. He has been called guitar Jah Jerry Yang and experimental music with a 'defeat' after beat 'instead' Song '. Until now the core of after beat absorb (exchange rhythmic) typical of Jamaica. Remix born. SOUND SYSTEM / recording studio are also starting their work. Without a label Vinyl (records) in order get profit among competitors. So that others can not see what's playing & 'steal' for their own sound system.

The war between SOUNDSYSTEM is leading to donor threatened by a bunch of those who cause problems. These people are called 'Dance Hall Crashers'. Although Mono Recording facilities are still primitive, is the persistence of enthusiastic music remix that will be used for commercial music from Jamaica is the first time and the fact remix dance music known as the people of Jamaica.

Throughout the year 60'an ghetto areas of Jamaica are young people who are looking for a job. At that time can be very difficult. At first, young children are not interested in music remix with optimism. The young man made as a group identity 'Rude Boy' (a trend among young children occurred in the years 40'an) For 'rude' means a community where people are considered not useful.

Dance style remix of Rude Boy has special characteristics, more slowly, with imagination as if to punch someone. Rude boy has connectivity with the 'Scofflaws' (people are always against the law) and other criminal world. This is reflected in the lyrics, lyrics song Remix. (note: style of dress looks Rude Boy with a pair of hang solely feet). Remix music once again changed to reflect the mood of the rude 'to increase the tension in the game, which is adjusted with style bass before' free-walking bass style '.

Many among the crowd, a lot of luck in the city of Kingston to gain fame in the music industry is turning to cannabis as a seller fails & capital thinner. Many are also involved in a criminal (depicted in the film 'The Harder They Come' by Jimmy Cliff ... this movie tells about the journey of life Jimmy Cliff)

Two political parties in Jamaica forming armed banser. Public opinion is leading the opposition to the group Rude Boy & the use of weapons. Regulation of ownership of any firearms traced back after going through a period where the ownership of weapons is not allowed to cause genuine concern in the community. Any person who has illegal weapons, is life imprisonment

Artist & producer support even the 'mirror' the attitude of the group through the Rude Boy Remix music. Support for not using weapons reflected in songs such as "street law" from the Soul Brothers, "Gunmen coming to town" The Heptones. Duke Reid produced one of the group Rude Boy Remix (walking down the street with foot Bond) CS Dodd also produced a young group who have a vision of their music as 'rudies' group, The Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer).

Prince Buster find someone who has a mythical character as Rude Boy Judge Dread. The song "007 Shanty Town" sung by Desmond Dekker is a brilliant job documenting the behavior of Rude Boy into a song (successfully enter the order into the 14 charts in the UK Charts)

Rude boy themes still dominate throughout the period of Remix, and its popularity peaked during summer 1964. Beat remix slow & Rocksteady even born. The first wave ended Remix in 1968 (Rocksteady is another story: Rocksteady Reggae music and then delivered. The popularity of Reggae music in the UK as in Skinhead; group adopted Rastafarian Reggae music & lyrics, lyrics that tend to play forced teaching of Rastafari & Relijiusnya view, Reggae also developed 'Dub', 'Dancehall', & & so on ...)

Entering the second wave of the previous let's look at some of the history Remix: in 1962, when the British promise not limited guarantee Immigrants who come from countries persemakmurannya, race riots there. Finally Remix & Reggae is popular music. Brought from Jamaica by many musicians & producers who participate immigrated, including the 'Trojan' & a Cuban-born, Laurel Aitken. In 70'an, Rude Boy image was updated & merger of expression in the 2 types of music is still somewhat new to the UK by Punk & Reggae band The Clash (rudie can not fail). Between the mid-to late 70'an, bands such as The Coventry Automatics chose to play instead of Reggae Remix because according to Jerry Dammers (founder of the band), play music more easily Remix & easy. The Coventry Automatics changed its name to The Specials AKA The Automatics, then changed again to the Specials.

Next on the 1979 Jerry Dammers founded the 2Tone Records. Dammers desire shows like Prince Buster in the early years 60'an create something new.
Black & white became a symbol. Born called 2Tone Remix. Logo of cartoons 2Tone man dressed in black suit with white shirt, black tie, hat 'Pork Pie' sunglasses, socks and white shoes, loafers, black became the official logo of characters in the name 'Walt Jabsco' (taken from the name of Walt Disney , founder of cartoons & Jabsco means marijuana in Latin slang). Created by Peter Tosh Dammers himself the leader of the group The Wailers original image that can see the album cover of "The Wailer wailing Studio One Realease ".

At the time of the race riots that occurred, and racist organizations 'National Front' thriving black & white band members will consist of multi-racial, set forth the theme song about 'unity' when the country divided by religious issues of race. Similarly, with remix music in Jamaica, the situation was reflected in the lyrics of songs, like "Racist Friend" The Specials AKA. Bands like Madness, The Beat, which selecter, The Specials & The Bodysnatchers create something fresh remix to remix the classic number from Prince Buster (Roughrider, Madness, Too Hot, etc.). Pertamanya.Band Artists & other waves that are not included 2Tone but associated with 2Tone movement is Bad Manners. There is also a contradiction with the artist's first wave band 2Tone (Rico Rodriguez is an additional trombone player in the group The Specials, the children of students from Famous trombone player Don Drummond & often used as a studio musician do Jamaica).

Cocoon eventually bought 2Tone Records of the decision Dammers signed with 2Tone bands other. Including, among others: The Specials, The selecter, Madness, Rico Rodriguez, The swinging Cats, The Friday Club, The Bodysnatchers, The Hisons, JB Allstars, Specials AKA, The Apollonairs, The Beat (in the United States to know the name of ' The Home Beat 'for the use of a band, The Beat) & a single from Elvis Costello. (note: Elvis Costello is the only one entitled "I can not stand up for Falling down" to the problem and did not sell. Copy of the song is given free to fans Costello on the run. Costello produced debut album The Specials & guests at the same time producers to a single singing.pics Special AKA Nelson Mandela called 12 ".

1985 2Tone label disbanded. Corporate bankruptcy Dammers cocoon. 2Tone bands popularity tahun1978-1985 but not only plays music 2Tone Remix. Among the other bands are The Tigers,
My Remix City, Akrylykz (with Roland Gift on the tenures of the saxophone, and then joined together with former members of the Home Beat Cox, & Steele had a singer at the Fine Young Cannibals), The Employees, The Piranhas, and more ...

This closed the second wave of remix music on the third wave: 2Tone & the end of the second wave, a narrow music remix music but do not become obsolete.
Is Toasters (never released a single under the name 'Not Bob Marley'), The Untouchables, a fish bone & joint tradition with elements of beat remix music elements such as pop, rock and beat-beat the other.

The existence of the third wave of music remix consists of various forms by combining almost every type of music that can roughly be mated with the speed Remix. Bands such as Jump With Joey, Hepcat, Yebo, NY Remix Ensemble & Jazz Allstars stubborn to keep playing in Remix Jamaican roots. Operation Ivy, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, etc.. using energy to create a punk-core Remix. 69 boat race, Fillibuster, urban blight, etc.. still living in the shadow Reggae / Rocksteady beat. Punch The Clown, Undercover S.K.A., etc.. characterize the influence of 2Tone style. What is interesting is the home of Florida band, Pork Pie hit Tribes Remix combine with traditional Irish music. Another thing that is more interesting is the band
The Brownies are mixing with the Remix!

Figure Rude Boy / Rude Girl comes back to the third wave, but this time not as insurgents. But as a music fanatic supporters Remix. Third Digelombang there also things that have nothing at the beginning of the first wave (some of whom have no idea) as 'Straight Edge' with the logo 'X' hands, boneheads, Oi / SKA, Skinheads Against Racial prejudice (Sharp's) is also the concept of 'Sell outs'.

There are some aspects of them that has not changed: Remix music is still among teenagers, remix each performance can be watched by all ages and not too expensive for mengakomodasikannya. It also still beat remix form a unique and harmonious, although combined with other musical elements. And people still enjoy a lot.
