8/8,9,10,11,13/2004 AESTHETICS OF REGGAE Cross Roads to Being pages 11-17 Reggae - message music is a dynamic force striking as lighting would, penetrating the fabric of its audience, cutting across politics, race, religion, and culture from its indigenous African roots, emerging from the revivalist movement, Zion and Pocomania; penetrating the North Pole, Pacific Islands, India - Iran, Afghanistan, China, Alaska, Japan. It is universal and fluid, modernizing various art forms and traditions thus propelling artists to infuse its idioms and phrasing into lyrics and creating a milieu of poetry, oral tradition, storytelling and music for television/films - The "Back Beat". "Nothing Rests: everything moves; everything vibrates." This contemporary masterpiece unfolded and developed from ska, rock steady; blending blues, Caribbean folk music, calypso and rock. The syncopating continues with jazz infusion, dub poetry, rap, ragga muffin style, rhythm and blues reggae, hip-hop style, DJ's Dance Hall style - not necessarily in the given order. The music has moved from previous instrumentation drum, bass, key boards where the guitar and bass are given room to operate, to drum machine, synthesizer, sequencers - to the digital technology and computers. Bob Marley's "Roots Rock Reggae Festival' was held at the Wolf Trap National Park for the performing arts on Sunday August 8, 2004 featuring "The Marley Brothers " Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Damien Jr. Gong, Ky-Mani, with guest artists Slightly Stoopid, Toots and the Maytals and MC and DJ, Stone Love. Joan and I attended the Festival occupying seats one and two in the orchestra, Section F close to the stage, utilizing designated senior citizens ticket prices which I embraced. DJ and MC Stone Love who is described as the champion of dance hall artists in Jamaica had the "stage" mixing music and demonstrated varied dance steps for the audience - lifting weights, rain drops, which was quite a feat. The band Slightly Stoopid which is based in Southern California had great stage presence, but the lyrics got lost in the sound which was overpowering. Both guitarists were very good vocalists - having range and dexterity. They performed, Hip-Hop and dance hall styling, R & B Reggae, heavy metal and what got my attention was "Bam Bam" Rhythm - white boys staying in line with the New Orleans "second line" or the Bo Diddley beat which is popular in Blues and Rock "N" Roll. More Power to them because the language of music is universal; it has nothing to do with ethnicity. You dig the complexity! That is why I am writing. Then there was Toots and the Maytals and if my memory holds the term "Reggay" was coined by Toots (Frederick Hibbert) in 1968. His stage presence was invigorating and overwhelming. Commanding his audience with what I call roots Reggae, the audience was transfixed by revivalism, pocomania and Zion styling (gospel styling) -clapping, swaying, singing, jumping and tapping their feet to renditions such as "Reggae got soul", "Never go Home," "Bam Bam"' "Sweet and Dandy", "Who you are", "Country Road," "True love is hard to find." Toots's lyrics perfected the "Back Beat" which caused me to reflect on Allen Toussaint and Fats Domino, New Orleans rhythm and blues geniuses. Joan throughout his performance was "transfixed in motion"---Shango style. I interjected and reminded her that, that was the revivalist ---of which she is familar through her research "African Religion in the Caribbean Novel.." Music is a useful and powerful vehicle for communicating spiritualism and traditions of a people and "Toots " did just that with the audience; he brought out these phenomena within them --- the complexity of "Life Forces " "Bam Bam " rhythm. The forerunner spoke humbly and his musical messages created a "way" for the Marley Brothers to accentuate. He reminded his audience that he used to open for their father Bob Marley. This was a perfect and natural progression. The brothers illustrated all aspects of the contemporary language of the reggae culture with lyrical substance from roots reggae, jazz infusion, rap/hip-hop style, DJ's Dance Hall style, with no blatant commercial overtone, thus continuing the spiritual vision of their father. They create their own foot prints and preserve his as the metamorphosis and fusion continues. They were well rehearsed and disciplined with evenness and purpose on stage, not dominating each other. The stage was well shared. How symbolic and humble as they paid tribute by performing some of their legendary father's songs: "Roots Rock Reggae," "Kaya", "Natty Dread", "Exodus" and others. Each one of the brothers could have held the spot light on his own, but they understood that the mission and message woven in reggae will surpass them because it is more than dedicated artistic monuments. Jimmy Cliff (James Chambers) who received the Jamaican Order of Merit in November 2003 understood that. He continues to forge his imprint universally as the "Reggae's world Ambassador". He proposes to conquer the world. I attended his performance on Thursday 12, 2004 at the Funk Box in Baltimore, an intimate unique bar setting - set on two floors with a picturesque dome look balcony enabling the audience to be within a heartbeat from the artists - what ambience ! Jimmy Cliff's performance was magical. He not only electrified but energized the audience with such precision in movement as he demonstrated professionalism and timing - singing note for note with such lyrical clarity as if he were in a studio with perfect range and versatility - blending soul, rock, pop, rap, DJ's Dance Hall styling , thus illuminating the foundation of reggae. The band and vocalists that accompanied him were equally perfect attenuating and responding to his every move, using seemingly choreographed hand movements. Cliff, living up to his desired goal to "conquer the world with his talent" continued to raise the ceiling regurgitating endless hits with words of a Rasta Man, tracks from his albums "Black Magic, Fantastic, Plastic People, Over the Border, Unlimited and classics "You can get it if you really want," sitting in Limbo, Many Rivers to Cross, and sound track "The harder they come. The ingenious Jimmy closed off the evening with "only drums" an indigenous perspective saluting "all" and the ancestors. What a tribute! Reggae is self-empowering. It brings and gives new meaning to "sound" and has already forged and stimulated a literary tradition which is the aesthetics of reggae. We must continue to salute our ancestors for their resilience - holding on to rhythms (riddims) as the now generations continues to explore the galaxy of the "soul" "Bam Bam" Rhythm. Thanks for initiating "The Me" in "Me". READ: BATHERSFIELD CROSS ROADS TO BEING pages 11-17 Arnold P. Bathersfield ******************************************************************************************** How can one embrace a festival such as carnival? Is it designed for an arena where its masqueraders, participants, and viewers are transported to the scene of the event and then choreographed for the tube via satellite or other transmittal networks? Should its base be on the streets where all can satisfy their artistic appetite and embrace this dynamic world of movement and flux? I am postulating the latter as a world view which embraces the "ritual masks" of individualism, which can be classified as tranquil but mobile and active or even aggressive, which subjectively or objectively is the essence of carnival. The uninhabited, demanding, powerful presence of the masquerade fosters disharmony thus creating conflict between social beings and the inner personalities to free up or create a new spirit of individual freedom. A DECAYING OF SELF. Hence according to Chinua Achebe, "You do not stand in one place to watch a masquerade, you must imitate its motion. The kinetic energy of the masquerade's art is thus instantly transmitted to a whole arena of spectators." Is it process in motion in view of the world or is the condition permanent? I was in Miami on October 10-12, 2003 to view the carnival of which there were two-Broward Carnival, Fort Lauderdale Stadium Fair Grounds and Homestead Miami Speedway. I attended the latter. The scenery was breath taking, the colors, the food, the costumes, the masqueraders-from terror to delight, the bands, DJs and the spectators representing the scope of the human experience-old to young. The education has already taken a hold on the society: the integration of different cultures, creeds, and races. People embracing each other dancing with or without "masks"-ritual dances par excellence displaying impressive motion and agility while keeping their feet planted, freeing up, and embracing the crossroads of culture. Carnival is dialogue and the spirit of carnival can be used as a valuable tool in race relations to counter racism and create a mental revolution in the society, opening transformation. How does one compete in carnival? How does one judge a band-king/queen? What is the criterion? Are there cronyism, tribalism and racism? I do not know, so I am asking. Carnival has become structured with defined leadership, which adds a tone of rigidness to free expression, a form of liberation-freedom free-up a death and a resurrection, a fundamental psychological transformation. Does the stick fighter have a role? Anyway you look at it, the carnival continues to evolve and its spirit is universal. At Homestead I noticed that the defined food/business courts were bustling with conch salad, fry bake to salsa, reggae, calypso and Zouk echoes of the islands... The bathroom facilities could not accommodate the crowd. One lady placed a towel over her nostrils to enter the ladies' toilet; she could not enter, but I embraced the opportunity. I had to go... Gender was not applicable. Can what you smell kill? Byron Lee and the Dragonaires were timely. They summarized the evening. One of the other structured events I attended was the University of the West Indies and Angostura sponsored fete--$60 and all you could eat West Indian style. What a treat for most of the tagged and stamped crowd. The bandstand had an array of performances. Machel Montano had a brief stint, but David Rudder demonstrated the art and culture of poetry at its best. The band Roy Cape demonstrated its talent and artistry while the talented base guitarist basked in the spotlight with precision dance steps. What a spectacle! The band also provided excellent support for guests and local artists. The crowd was enormous and I must acknowledge Roger, Moses, Selwyn, Ann, Umilta, Nada, Elfie, Ruby, Tai-Sue-Loevng-Tat, Amzad and Leroy, San Fernando and Mamie's People's Carnival King who allegedly placed third in the King competition on Saturday 11, 2003 for portraying a deep sea "Jelly Fish." What conceptualization, creativity and artistry as he demonstrated in choreographic dance steps the jelly fish in its habitat feeding as he exploded on stage. What formatted precision! You could not see any part of his body-a true masquerader. This magnificent performance completed the picture of this memorable carnival experience. The following is a poetic expression that demonstrates the embodiment of carnival. Ah We Thing! The carnival (carne-vale) An Afrikan thing, a universal festival Emerges in any modern society from the "Nile Valley" to the streets of Miami... A true festival that transforms the "being" Before the fast... A ritual celebration of spiritual offerings of thanksgiving...good/evil-good will The common good... You must and have to prepare for "the carnival"... Initiation...traditional feast... Feast-offerings! Free up the spirits Free up the minds Liberate bodies...water/blood-life/death... Sacrifice self, sacrifice-purging... "The carnival" is unrehearsed, but choreographed... "The carnival" is power... it is pure and natural-no demons... You embrace "the carnival" It emerges... It is assertive...it generates and creates solidarity... Oneness of purpose.. Movement with rhyme and rhythm through varied vibrational and non-vibrational instruments "Beings" sounds-songs-the drum, the drum, the drum Silence...silence Instruments...claves, bottle, spoon, iron, cuatro, Mandolins, guitar, violin, bamboo, maracas, DJ's, pan, flute, Masqueraders...mokojumbie...jumbie You cannot sell "the carnival"... You define "the carnival"... It is jouvert It is "bacchanal" It is Kermite It is Afrikan It is universal It is literary...high extraordinary...prodigious, Artisanship, clamorous, exquisite, intense, stately... Splendid, visual, gallant...spirited...yes, spirited. You dig: spirited. Afrikan incarnate... Afrikan incarnate... Ah we thing! Afrikan incarnate... It is universal... Ah we thing! Arnold P. Bathersfield 10/18/03 Read: JAH RHYTHM "THE ALL" pages 54-58 ################################################################################ SUBLIMINAL VOICE OF "THE MASQUERADER" ZERO pages 71 - 73 Leroy Prieto's photogenic posture commands attention, whenever he enters a room or strides the streets or corridors. His magnetic stately charismatic personality precedes him. He is independent and self disciplined. No task is too big for him to perform because he understands the patriarchal and matriarchal systems and the problems woven in the former. He is a good conversationalist and understands the divisive nature of competition and his role of fostering harmony while creating and forging a way to perfect the form that he loves----"being a masquerader". His ascendancy to national prominence as a bicyclist and a masquerader never altered his ego, as he continues to remain humble and ready to explain his craft and techniques, even to his competitors. He is never detracted. He perpetuates a team concept-knowing when to assert himself and always giving credit to his team, wherever he resides. His domain is set in the elevation and uplift of all, particularly the community and children, whom he refers to as his "fans". In Mon Repos and, in particular, Dos Santos Street, he is known for his wood carvings, design of children's toys, a keen sense of humor and a revere dancer and a lover of music. Masquerading to Leroy is reverberating, creative, crafty, objective, inventive, artistic, power, balanced, fluidity, poise, color, dexterity and love/hate. He, "the masquerader", must encompass all "beings"; everything and anything is within his scope and grasp, which he embodies and, therefore, assumes the depicted character/characters -role/roles. Within his view, he sees masquerading as a pictorial portrayal of art on the move- "No Wheels". It Must be built using the body as the anchor, an instrument of support and the masquerader submerges /emerges with the scope of what is depicted- "carrying it"-and the musical steps must evolve --- choreograph as the elusive masquerader takes "flight"---flows, and moves graciously, vibrating in "one" in character, which is representative of a true masquerader-creativity and artistry-wearing or carrying his "mas" while flouncing with it - "no mumbo jumbo" or "sour grapes". Masquerading is an art, and one must preserve it ---as he continues to forge ahead. I once submitted that masquerading involves the dynamic universe of movement and fluidity, and must be based on the streets, where the masqueraders can display their artistic ingenuiy of total freedom from "self" ---. Listing of accomplishments precludes one from asserting Leroy's humanistic characteristics. He is meticulous, ingenuous, trustworthy and a devoted father and family man, who serves the interest of the "common good". Leroy Prieto continues to demonstrate and transmit the kinetic energy of the form ---"the masquerader " which permeates one's being.The "peoples king" whether he places or not -Miami, Texas, Orlando, Atlanta, WashingtonD.C., Germany, Dimanche Gras in Port Of Spain, Marabella, or San Fernando. Engage "the masquerader" and he will fill you in with all his accomplishments. And I am also asking! Who can judge a masquerader? "The Mask". Can there be objectivity ? This poetic gesture will further solidify the nature of the festival which "the masquerader" excels and invokes the persona. AH WE THING!
