In 1972, Bob Marley signed with CBS Records in London and embarked on a UK tour with soul singer Johnny Nash.While in London the Wailers asked their road manager Brent Clarke to introduce them to Chris Blackwell, who had licensed some of their Coxsone releases for his Island Records. The Wailers intended to discuss the royalties associated with these releases; instead, the meeting resulted in the offer of an advance of £4,000 to record an album.Since Jimmy Cliff, Island's top reggae star, had recently left the label, Blackwell was primed for a replacement. In Marley, Blackwell recognized the elements needed to snare the rock audience: "I was dealing with rock music, which was really rebel music. I felt that would really be the way to break Jamaican music. But you needed someone who could be that image. When Bob walked in he really was that image."The Wailers returned to Jamaica to record at Harry J's in Kingston, which resulted in the album Catch a Fire. The Wailers' first album for Island, Catch a Fire, was released worldwide in April 1973, packaged like a rock record with a unique Zippo lighter lift-top. Initially selling 14,000 units, it received a positive critical reception. It was followed later that year by the album Burnin' which included the song "I Shot the Sheriff". Eric Clapton was given the album by his guitarist George Terry in the hope that he would enjoy it. Clapton was impressed and chose to record a cover version of "I Shot the Sheriff" which became his first US hit since "Layla" two years earlier and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 14 September 1974.Many Jamaicans were not keen on the new reggae sound on Catch a Fire, but the Trenchtown style of Burnin found fans across both reggae and rock audiences. The Wailers were scheduled to open 17 shows in the US for Sly and the Family Stone. After four shows, the band was fired because they were more popular than the acts they were opening for. In July 1977, Marley was diagnosed with a type of malignant melanoma under his right big toe.Contrary to urban legend, this lesion was not primarily caused by an injury during a football match that year, but was instead a symptom of already-existing cancer. He had to see two doctors before a biopsy was done, which confirmed acral lentiginous melanoma. Unlike other melanomas, which usually appear on skin exposed to the sun, acral lentiginous melanoma occurs in places that are easy to miss, such as the soles of the feet, or under toenails. Although it is the most common melanoma in people with dark skin, it is not widely recognized and was not mentioned in the most popular medical textbook of the time. Marley rejected his doctors' advice to have his toe amputated (which would have hindered his performing career), citing his religious beliefs, and instead, the nail and nail bed were removed and a skin graft was taken from his thigh to cover the area.Despite his illness, he continued touring and was in the process of scheduling a 1980 world tour. The album Uprising was released in May 1980. The band completed a major tour of Europe, where it played its biggest concert to 100,000 people at San Siro stadium in Milan, Italy. After the tour, Marley went to the United States, where he performed two shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of the Uprising Tour.He collapsed while jogging in Central Park and was taken to the hospital, where it was found that his cancer had spread to his brain, lungs, and liver.Marley's last concert took place two days later at the Stanley Theater (now The Benedum Center For The Performing Arts) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 23 September 1980. His Message (Don't Gain The World & Lose Your Soul, Wisdom Is Better Than Silver Or Gold. Love the life you live. Live the life you love. The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively) Remember One Love, One Heart...

Det här är berättelsen om mannen som drygt 40 år efter sin död fortfarande är kungen av reggae. En berättelse som tar oss från Trenchtown till ett pannrum i Bromma och sen vidare ut i världen. 3 december, 1976, Jamaica. Mörkret har lagt sig över Kingston, men inne i det stora ljusgula huset på Hope Road råder full aktivitet. Mitt i stans allra mest exklusiva stadsdel ligger Bob Marleys högkvarter - och den här fredagskvällen pågår repetitionerna för fullt. Bob har på sig ljusa byxor och en kortärmad skjorta. Klockan närmar sig halv nio när han tar en paus och går in i köket. Jamaica präglas av politiska oroligheter och en eskalerande våldsspiral. Bob, som numera bor i England, har kommit hit för att uppträda på fredskonserten Smile Jamaica. Spelningen, som stöttas av regeringen, är ett försök att lugna ner situationen. Oppositionen är däremot inte med på noterna och stämningen i Kingston är spänd.Bob har blivit varnad. Det är många runt honom som tycker att fredskonserten är en dålig idé, men ingen har lyckats få Bob att ändra sig. Han står vid diskbänken och skär upp en grapefrukt när han hör det första skottet avlossas. Innan han hinner förstå vad det är som händer viner kulorna genom huset. Ett gäng beväpnade män går från rum till rum och skjuter vilt. Bob träffas i armen, hans fru Rita skjuts i huvudet och hans manager Don Taylor träffas med fem skott.Men inte ens ett mordförsök lyckas stoppa Bob Marley. Två dagar efter attacken står han på fredskonsertens stora scen.P3 Musikdokumentär om Bob Marley handlar om musikern som gjorde reggaen stor i hela världen och som än idag, drygt 40 år efter sin död, är en frihetssymbol.Dokumentären är gjord av Joanna Korbutiak våren 2023Producent är Anna LillkungExekutiv producent är Lars TruedsonSlutmix är gjord av Fredrik NilssonProgramledare är Siri HillMedverkande: Thomas Gylling, Isabel Sandblom (Syster Sol), Desmond Foster och Janne SchafferLjudklippen i dokumentären kommer från dokumentären Marley (2012), intervjuer med Gil Noble i Like It Is (WABC-TV, 1980) och Dylan Taite i Good Day (1979), samt från spelfilmen Vill så gärna tro (1971)

Bob Marley is known as the peace and love reggae superstar, but the truth of who he really was is a bit more complicated. After gunmen raided his home, putting bullets into him, his wife, his manager and his guitar player, Bob survived. But the lives of his assassins—all of them—were eventually brought to violent, horrific ends. And their killers were never found. Many think the perpetrator was an angry young man from the Trenchtown ghetto, who was called, by those who feared him, “Screwface." Was it Bob Marley, Rasta Vigilante?

Jelli heads down to The Hungry Hermit, a local diner in Trenchtown where Rawktapus and his bandmates work when they're not performing gigs. She's on a mission to recruit Rawktapus as the leader of her back-up band, but some shocking news upsets the locals and may derail her plans!  

This week Brian is joined by Robbie and Kenne from Doomtrigger.Doomtrigger are a 4-piece metal band hailing from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Initially intended as a solo studio project, founding member Kenne Loubser started writing a selection of songs during Covid lockdown in 2020. A few weeks into the journey, Kenne learnt that a friend and fellow metal enthusiast, Jason Smith, had just returned to South Africa after teaching in Vietnam for 3 years. Fast forward 3 years, Kenne approached Jason about collaborating on a single. This turned into Jason becoming a full time member and lead vocalist of the project. Realizing they were onto something special, they knew Doomtrigger had to be a full band. The search was on.In June 2021 Drummer Etienne Nel aka "Frank", was added to the group. Kenne and Frankbecame friends in their college days and together with another close friend, lived together in their early working years. During that time, they had regular jam sessions playing mostly Slipknot covers and metal improv - much to the dismay of conservative neighbours in the area. Predominantly a rock drummer, this was the first time Frank started exploring metal drumming. It wasn't until 12 years later, upon joining DOOMTRIGGER, that his true potential as a metal drummer was unlocked.Eventually an idea sparked to invite Robert Blair, former rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist of hard rock outfit Four A Penny, to the pack. Ken and Rob were former band mates in the aforementioned group and had become good friends over the years. Appreciating Rob's love and passion for the metal genre, Ken had in fact been sharing snippets of DOOMTRIGGER material with Rob over the course of a few months as asoundboard for thoughts and feedback. So, when Rob was eventually approached in July 2021, it was an easy conversation. The pack knew that over and above the fact that Rob would settle comfortably on bass, he would also bring the edge of a second extreme vocal to the mix, nudging the band's offering to a new dimension. Finally, the line-up was complete.In its short existence the band has already made notable waves in the local metal scene in South Africa, attracting attention from industry peers and metal fans alike. The band made their live debut at Trenchtown on 11 June 2022 and saw the formation of a pit mere moments into their first song, a rare sight for a band on live debut, let alone first on the bill. The energy continued through the set and the reception was more than what the group could have hoped for. All and all a successful debut with praise from organisers, supporting bands and newly acquired fans alike, leaving the band humbled and hungry to continue their mission.Tune in to hear all about:The history of Doomtrigger.The EP 'Enter The Cosmic'Concert experiences including playing Metal4Africa '22.Future plans including the next EP 'Dark Continuum'And much much more!Find Doomtrigger here:https://www.instagram.com/doomtriggercore/https://www.facebook.com/doomtriggercorehttps://ditto.fm/enter-the-cosmicFind CTMU here:https://linktr.ee/ConcertsthatmadeusNewsletter: https://concertsthatmadeus.aweb.page/p/f065707b-2e34-4268-8e73-94f12bd2e938If you would like to support the show you can do so by rating/reviewing us on Itunes and Spotify or by signing up at https://www.patreon.com/ConcertsthatmadeusSave 10% on Band Builder Academy membership by following this link https://bandbuilderacademy.com/Brian_Concerts/join and using promo code "concerts" at signup.

Lee Jaffe, a cross-disciplinary visual artist, musician, and poet, took photos of his friend, Jean-Michel Basquiat, when they traveled abroad in 1983. As a photographer, Jaffe had a connection to Basquiat, and their time spent together resulted in an archive of imagery that captured one of the art world's true legends through an unfiltered and authentic lens. “For me, watching him [Jean-Michel] paint reminded me of the times I would sit and play harmonica while Bob Marley, with his acoustic guitar, would be writing songs that were eventually to become classics,” Jaffe says. “With Jean and Bob, it seemed like they were channeling inspiration coming from an otherworldly place.”Basquiat and Jaffe connected over reggae music. It was the early 1980s in New York. Jaffe had been a member of Bob Marley's band, producer on Peter Tosh's first solo album. and collaborated with art world figures Helio Oiticica, Gordon Matta Clark, and Vito Acconci. Jaffe is the author of Jean-Michel Basquiat: Crossroads."And it was a time of great political repression. People on the left were disappearing. There was group of artists and musicians and writers who were creating things against the military government in Brazil. When I arrived in Rio in 1969, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, they had been imprisoned. They were in exile. They were let out of prison on condition they would leave the country. They were living in England. It was dangerous to be an artist saying anything against the government. And it was the time of the Vietnam War, towards the end of the Civil Rights Movement. I mean, it's never really ended, but...there were the assassinations of all the Black Panthers and Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, and then RFK in '68, which very much pushed me into - I mean, I wanted to travel, I wanted to find out what the world was like, but - it was kind of a last straw when RFK was assassinated because then it was like, there is no law. The United States has no law. If there's political opposition, you'll just die. And then I was in Brazil, and it was very palpable. There was no disguise. There was no veneer.”www.leejaffe.comwww.rizzoliusa.com/book/9780847871841/www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgPhoto: Bob Marley in Trenchtown, downtown Kingston, Jamaica, after football at the Boys' Town field, 1974.

Tomme Beevas lives out his values in ways that we hope will inspire you too! In this episode we talked about the tremendous work he participated in at:Pimento Relief Services - learn more and follow them on socials: Facebook, Insta, Twitter, LinkedIn and of course, you can donate here.Facebook: @pimentoreliefInsta: @pimentoreliefservicesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pimento-relief-services/Website:   https://pimentoreliefservices.org/Pimento Jamaican Kitchen and Rum Bar is Tomme's restaurant and there are many tv episodes that feature he or the restaurant - this is the newest…a dinner with the Beevas family on the Magnolia NetworkFacebook: @pimentokitchenInsta: @pimentokitchenTwitter: @pimentokitchenTomme notes that Pimento Relief Services was created for those “on the front lines of liberation.” Pimento Relief Services was created after the lynching of George Floyd. He later talks about the 99' murder of Amadou Diallo as well. As I write these notes, we have just learned of the shooting of 4 year old Arianna Delane, George Floyd's niece, who was asleep in her bed when a yet-to-be-identified person shot into her apartment.Tomme lists Marcus Garvey as one of the north stars of Pimento Relief Services, and quotes him saying: “Take advantage of every opportunity; where there is none, make it for yourself.”Michelle refers to her experience at Sexual Violence Law Center, talks about the Harlem Nutcraker by Spectrum DanceTomme refers to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals which we could use to see how US cities are developing - as the US holds other countries to these standards…Process: Here are a few notes about what Tomme lists as how Pimento Relief Services was built to serve the community:They took a meeting place that already existed as a safe, community-based space: Pimento Jamaican Kitchen and Rum BarFriends and community members were invited to identify their own needs!Needs included food as the primary need for which they threw a food drive. (Tomme points out that Minneapolis is the food headquarters of the world, and yet Minneapolis had a food desert in their city.)They coordinated an active list of needs for those on the frontlines of liberation - reporting needs out in real time via social media (needs ranged from fire extinguishers to insulin, diapers to food.)A week later, they threw a healing event, involving yoga, art, and other healing modalitiesThe following week they held a gathering with 150 of the top leaders of the community in the small backyard of the restaurant - including religious leaders, the mayor, business leaders etc talking about how these groups could provide services to those on the frontline of liberation in the communityTomme defines liberation in three categories:Economic Liberation: How do we create more Black business leaders, how do we elevate folks in their occupations?Social Liberation: Tomme includes Food Justice, Social Justice, Academic Justice (women in academia, accurate political and social history,Political Liberation: How do we get people to show up for voting, running for office - what resources do they need to run their campaign, political action committee that funds candidatesBig pieces of wisdom:Tomme drops wisdom through the entire episode, from how we use consultants, how we create community, how to center people from the beginning, what liberation looks like and overarching philosophy about our highest purpose. But here are just a few quotes: “Start with Trust. Trust the people you're serving to know what they need, and know what they want...I simply got out of the way and allowed them to build the community that they needed in the space that I happened to be a steward of.”“Growing up in Jamaica, we recognized that even if there is just one loaf of bread…that's enough to feed our whole community.”“The roots of it go back to that greater responsibility to serve one's community. Because our purpose is much bigger than we are. And when we think of our community itself, I feel as if each and every one of us have a greater responsibility. So for example, as a black man, I have a greater responsibility to my community. As a Jamaican, I have a greater responsibility specifically to my Jamaican community. I'm imagining as a white man, he should have a greater responsibility..and in the LGBTQ plus community. We each have a greater responsibility…And so it's answering that call to service, you know, stepping up and doing one's duty for that greater responsibility is how I've ended up here. And if nothing else, that's what I hope that people get from this conversation today. And if nothing else, I hope that's something I can pass on to my children.”

Notre 1er invité est Gari Grèu, l'un des 3 MC du Massilia Sound System, venu parler du nouvel album Sale Caractère (Manivette Rd 2021). Ils nous avaient tellement manqué que l'on n'osait plus vraiment y croire. Réentendrait-on le staccato têtu des rythmiques électroniques sous ces voix charnues et rocailleuses ? Retrouverait-on les textes tout sourire et poil à gratter de Papet J, Moussu T et Gari Grèu ? Eh bien oui. Ainsi que le plus long hiver n'empêchera jamais le printemps d'arriver, Massilia Sound System a fini par revenir en studio, sept ans après Massilia. Un neuvième album en 2021 ? On les reconnaît bien dans cette manière de faire un petit pont aux comptes ronds et aux dates symboliques : Parla patois, le premier album, est sorti en 1992 et Massilia Sound System s'épargne les chansons d'anniversaire et les bilans décennaux. À la place, "Pour les conos, les pébrons et les cagants, c'est le drame", annoncent-ils dès le premier titre, A cavalot. Oui, combatifs et souriants, engagés et déconneurs, c'est bien eux. On n'a pas souvent l'occasion de croiser des groupes comme Massilia Sound System, qui savent autant parler à l'intelligence que parler au cœur, convoquer l'imaginaire qui unit et le réel qui soude, faire danser les pieds et inviter les mains à fabriquer. Car ce groupe de reggae n'est pas d'abord une affaire de musique. Vers la fin des années 80, il s'agit d'implanter à Marseille la géniale invention du sound system jamaïcain : des instrus de reggae, de grosses enceintes et des micros pour tchatcher. Au début, on ne pense pas à enregistrer ce qui se dit – l'envie d'être ensemble, de passer un bon moment, de se regarder au miroir d'une musique qui unit minots et mamies, de jeter à la fois cris d'indignation et encouragements à la résistance. De l'humain toujours, au-dessus, au-dessous, à côté, en même temps que la musique.   Autant qu'ils vivent à Marseille, les fondateurs de ce sound system rêvent leur ville comme le cœur, le bastion mais aussi le paradis d'une méridionalité solidaire, dansante et ouverte. Marseille reggae, c'est Marseille rebelle et hédoniste, indolente et turbulente – les galéjades de Marius et César, l'esprit de Trenchtown et Brixton, mais aussi des fraternités plus souterraines, comme avec Claude McKay. Cette figure jamaïcaine de la Harlem Renaissance raconte en 1929, dans son génial roman Banjo, les aventures de musiciens noirs venus de deux ou trois continents qui essaient de créer un groupe entre le Vieux Port et les bassins de la Joliette – là où l'on a entendu les premiers sons de Massilia Sound System, justement. "Toi qui en as assez de te faire arnaquer, embarquer, escroquer, balader / Ne cherche plus, pas de mystère : viens chez Massilia, c'est grand ouvert !", nous rappelle aujourd'hui le titre Casa Massilia – un mode d'emploi pour les novices, un grand rewind pour les fidèles. Année après année, album après album, tournée après tournée, ils ont donné à cette ville une part de sa légende – les concerts où l'on distribue le pastis, l'alliance du green-gold-red et du bleu ciel de l'OM, les extraits de chansons qu'on lance comme des proverbes au comptoir ou sur le trottoir… On les remercierait presque d'avoir tant tardé. Depuis le dernier album de Massilia Sound System, Papet J faisait vivre son raggamuffin vagabond, Moussu T tournait avec Lei Jovents, Gari Grèu circulait avec Oai Star et Collectif 13… Et cette liberté est la preuve en actes de l'idée fondatrice de la Linha Imaginot, cette confrérie informelle de groupes de la large Occitanie – les Fabulous Trobadors à Toulouse, Nux Vomica à Nice… Vivre et créer en français comme en occitan, s'emparer d'outils musicaux venus de partout pour mieux plonger dans la culture locale, accueillir l'autre pour être plus soi-même…     L'album Sale Caractère le confirme : rub a dub classique, accélérations drum and bass, effluves orientales, autotune de la musique urbaine contemporaine, c'est toujours Massilia Sound System, voisin du monde entier et fièrement enraciné… L'actualité est là, brutale et insupportable (Drôles de poissons, chanson à pleurer de pitié et de colère au bord du grand cimetière de la Méditerranée), les artistes s'interrogent sainement sur leur rôle ("Vas-tu prendre la barre / Affronter la tempête (…) Avec dans l'oreillette / Un reggae du siècle dernier", se demande Moussu T) ou se questionnent sur la dilution des solidarités dans leur ville (À la rue, cri d'alarme radical), partout ils galopent, dansent et enivrent leur reggae … À Saint-Germain-des-Prés, ils vous diront que ces Marseillais sont visités par les épiphanies foudroyantes de Raymond Queneau ou de Jacques Prévert ("La vie est cruelle / Elle a sûrement ses raisons", dans Nine). Et, la sono à fond, on apprendra le dernier vers de l'album, en occitan : "Vaquí lo grand ser, nos fau prendre lo vam". En français, cela dit : "Voilà le grand soir, il faut prendre notre élan".   Titres écoutés de Massilia Sound System Sale Caractère voir le clip Nine  Casa Massilia Uei     Puis Niteroy vient jouer un titre en guitare-voix dans la #SessionLive pour la sortie de son Ep Dia de Chuva (Yotanka Rd 2021). Toutes les personnes succombant un jour aux musiques brésiliennes finissent par mettre le doigt sur le petit supplément d'âme qui les a fait chavirer: la saudade. Un mot portugais, intraduisible en français, qui se réfère à cette drôle de mélancolie, douce, parfois même joyeuse, toujours contagieuse. Sous le nom de Niteroy, en clin d'oeil à Niterói, une ville qui jouxte Rio de Janeiro, le jeune Rennais Tiago Ribeiro cherche à créer sa propre saudade en insufflant le groove si particulier des vieilles sambas à des compositions pop aux arrangements raffinés et classieux. Le résultat donne des chansons qu'on a l'impression d'avoir toujours connues, évidentes, immédiates, contagieuses elles aussi. On pourrait penser à Marcos Valle et Tim Maia qui auraient invité Anderson.Paak, Devendra Banhart et Bertrand Burgalat à chiller sur la plage, après leur avoir fait faire le tour de la ville. Tout le monde sifflotant un refrain ancestral entendu plus haut dans les collines, les yeux perdus dans les vagues. Kalcha.     Titres de Niteroy Amores Nostalgia Live RFI voir le clip  Flor Murchada extrait de l'Ep Dia de Chuva Para de Pensar extrait de l'Ep Dia de Chuva Son Fabien Mugneret + nouveau clip de Niteroy O Farol  + bonus track Nina Attal (extrait de l'album Pieces of a Soul).

As broadcast May 11, 2021 with extra yards for your podcast roughnecks to grind out.  On this 40th anniversary of the passing of a singular personality & artist in Robert Nesta Marley, we pay tribute to start the show, but also ask the question:  What celebrity living or dead would you run into and not be able to continue living yourself?  Right after we had a very important world premiere on the program as our dear friend Livi Morris aka Runrummer is out with a new single with Brijs as of May 26, so we gave that one a spin to start the indie madness.  Great tunes throughout after that, along with a hypothetical about living on Mars (or anywhere else) along the way.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Bob Marley – Soul AlmightyRunrummer & Brijs - TimeshareAmor Amor – Pieces of SummerClear Coast – On CanvasMecanico – MentirasHotel Décor – Could It Take Me Any LongerPart II (31:15)First Beige – BBLGeoffrey O'Connor - Foolish Enough (feat Laura Jean)Phantom Handshakes - Its A PrisonCrumb - SeedsLazyrevs - Sorry What I SaidPleasure Centre – Blue (Bertha)Part III (58:31)Yaatri – GoldJaguar Purrs - A Gentle ManOLDBOY – TempelhofAlfie Templeman – Film Scene DaydreamForeign Age - La La La (Its Okay)The Lazy Eyes - Nobody Taught MePart IV (90:26)Mumble Tide – SuckerDeath Hags - Future NowSki Lift - Moaning AgainEREZ - Modern DreamJohn Andrews & The Yawns – TryTelanova – Tranquilize

Jamaica's renowned Reggae Artist interviews with Empress Rose. His lyrical positivity and ability to capture the issues that need addressing in the community around him and beyond, appeal to the hearts and minds of the future Jamaican generation, as well as those who love the conscious vibes and messages that uplift their souls across the globe. For Dahvid, his music must embrace the teachings of Rastafari centred on love, compassion and understanding.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we discuss arguably the most famous musician to have ever lived; a man who not only pioneered a music but a movement and while preaching a message of peace through his songs, was repeatedly violently attacked and tragically died before his time; Bob Marley.From a meagre start in the streets of Trenchtown, Jamaica to the dizzy heights of international super stardom, Bob Marley wanted to do more than just sing songs and make money. His mission was to heal through music, to heal what hurts the soul and to heal a broken system that was the cause of the suffering of so many. In this endeavour he made some powerful friends and equally powerful enemies and attempts on his life caused him to have to leave Jamaica. Bob Marley's music and meaning still endure today, as moving and poignant as it ever was. His death, however tragic and untimely, has also been alleged to have been a further plot to silence his powerful voice. ________________________Joining me on this episode are Edwin Sammon and Emmet Quinn.

C'est à Trenchtown, immense quartier de Kingston composé de grandes maisons coloniales et commerces en ruines et de taudis surpeuplés que commence la légende de Bob Marley.

In 1962, the Caribbean island of Jamaica gained independence from Great Britain, and the fledgling nation yearned to establish an identity of its own. Two years later, Rita Anderson was a teenage single mother living in the impoverished Kingston suburb of Trenchtown, in search of something beyond her circumstances. She would find it as a singer in a rocksteady group. That would lead her to discover her twin flame: a shy young man who also saw music as his ticket out of Trenchtown. His name was Bob Marley.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Bob Marley went from singing R&B harmonies in Trenchtown, Kingston, Jamaica to becoming a pioneer of reggae music, bringing his own blend of reggae, rock and ska music to a global audience. But as a popular figure in Jamaica, he was unwillingly thrust into the country’s political strife.  The situation became so dangerous for Marley that on December 3, 1976, he became a target of assassins.  Several resources were used in the research for this episode including:  Chris Salewicz, Bob Marley: The Untold Story, (New York: Faber and Faber), 2010.  Biolgraphy.com, "Bob Marley", https://www.biography.com/musician/bob-marley Vivien Goldman, The Guardian, "Dread, beat and blood", July 16, 2006.  Hua Hsu, The New Yorker, "Manufacturing Bob Marley", July 17, 2017 Mike Lanchin, BBC World Service, "I was there when gunmen tried to kill Bob Marley," December 4, 2016.  Kief Davidson, Remastered: Who Shot the Sheriff?, Netflix, 2015.  Sponsors:  Truman's: www.trumans.com - use promo code ONCE at checkout for 50% off your starter kit and subscription.  Solid Gold: www.solidgoldpet.com/once for 30% off your first order.  Music Credits:  Music from https://filmmusic.io Sunny Rasta" by Alexander Nakarada (https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com/) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) "Stealth Groover" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  "Dub Feral" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Bob Marley is known as the peace and love reggae superstar but the truth of who he really was is a bit more complicated. After gunmen raided his home, putting bullets into him, his wife, his manager and his guitar player, Bob managed to live but the lives of his assassins - all of them - were eventually brought to violent, horrific ends. And their killers were never found. Many think the perpetrator was an angry young man from the Trenchtown ghetto who those who feared him called, “Screwface” aka, Bob Marley, Rasta Vigilante.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Things moved fast in the music business of 1973. Less than six months after the Wailers released their first international album, Catch A Fire, the Wailers were now moving through the gears with an increasing sense of mission. 'Burnin' is an album full of revolutionary fire and fervour, it was also the last, heroic distillation of a line-up that had taken the teenaged Wailer, Tosh and Marley on a journey from the streets of Trenchtown to the brink of global stardom. Henceforth it would be Marley who was very much the man in charge. Listen back to our London event where we were joined by Don Lett’s who was largely responsible for merging punk rock and reggae in London in the late seventies, as he said himself: “The only white people you would see at a Jah Shaka dance in Dalston would be The Sex Pistols, The Clash… my friends.”

Om förortens och landsbygdens musik. Avsnittet rör sig in och ut i ämnet musik och makt, land och stad. Där musiken i många fall blivit en räddning från tristessen och betongen. All musik är inte underhållning. En del manar till eftertanke, kanske till och med till motstånd och förvirring. Musik får politisk laddning för att den ingår i ett bestämt sammanhang. Ibland blir polariseringen mellan individer och grupper särskilt tydlig just i musik. Det är vad musikmagasinet Musik & Politik handlar om. Medverkande: Po Tidholm, författare och frilansjournalist, Jan Edling, utredare på Flexibility.Röst: Marie Skönblom, skådespelerska Skottes Musikteater.Gästkrönikör: Klara Lewis, audiovisuell konstnär.Produktion: Mikael Strömberg / GiG Mikael Strömberg skriver hiphopens uppror.Myten säger att hiphop är musikens boxning. Ska man bli någon i ringen duger det inte att vara en mätt, nöjd medelklassunge från radhuslängan. Man bör ha ett hämndbegär som omsätts i taktfasta slag och rappa ord.Men hipphoppen har förändrats. Se på Dogge Doggelito som sitter och myser i Bolibompastudion. Inte mycket boxning där inte.Men det underlättar att förklara hiphoppens uppkomst med förorts-, och getto-perspektivet, underklassen, och en musiksort som är sammanflätad med politik, sex, pengar, våld och hårt arbete. Få andra musikformer har kommersialiserats med samma kraft, 60-70 procent av Billboardlistans bäst sålda artister är hiphoppare. Å andra sidan har ingen annan musik lyckats pånyttfödas med sån anarkistisk påhittighet.I dag går hipphoppen in i nya konstellationer med elektronika, noise och till och med klassisk musik! Den har en ovilja att analyseras, i alla fall till en viss gräns när den ska genrebestämmas. Dess historia liknar en väv av tillfälliga detaljer som flyter ihop till det som är kärnan i hiphoppens budskap: kärlek, hat, kåthet, narcissism, dans, kläder, poesi, sex, spänning, mystik, droger, gudstro, våld, coolhet, softhet, utanförskap, självförtroende. Och syndernas förlåtelse.Fyra omständigheter/platser/områden har tillsammans format hiphoppen. 1. Bronx. 2. Afrika. 3. Budskapet och politiken. 4. Sammanhållningen och globaliseringen.Para ihop Jamaicas roots-generation med Bronx vid mitten av 70-talet och du får något som liknar en möjlig startpunkt. Här finns något i tid, ras, plats, mångkultur och heta beats som förenas i politisk agitation. Stolthet är det vanligaste ordet i texterna.Både Trenchtown och Bronx faller offer för en galen stadsplanering som sätter hus i ruiner. Bara i Bronx tvingas 60 000 människor flytta när de fångas i åttafiliga Lower Manhattan Expressways korsdrag. Moses körde sin bulldozer rakt över dem.Eventuellt kan man också påstå att målen för slumsaneringen (områden endast för vita ) driver fram hiphoppen. För när folk inte har några hus att bo i träffas de på klubbar och i gathörn. De tar med sig stereon ut på gatan, afro-amerikaner, afrokaribiska ungdomar, latinos, alla, och så är rörelsen i gång.Mixa sedan ihop rastafaris burru-trummor, rythm and blues från New Orleans, jamaicansk ska, rock steady, reggae, dub, spirituals, spoken word, vildsinta ekon, synkoper och disstade signaler och dränk alltsammans i färg, nerv och protest. Det är lika med Hiphop.Rockmusiken kräver ikoner som sjunger längst fram vid scenkanten. Men hiphoppen hyllar kollektivet; ljudarkitekterna, producenterna, soundsystemens dj:ar. Och ta de flerspråkiga gängen i Bronx, de som kräver respekt. I de här gängen rinner hiphop genom luften likt det kalla vattnet ur en sliten brandpost.Den rycker fram med gängledarna, de skarpa rebellerna med anti-auktoritära reflexer. De vassa tungorna.DJ Kool Herc slipade bort sin accent och påstås ha startat hiphoppen med en privat familjefest. Herc kopplade ihop högtalarna och skivspelarna till ett mäktigt soundsystem så att det skakade i de gamla plåttaken.Eller ta den mystiske Afrika Bambaataa, som på zuluspråk betyder hängiven ledare . Han är grundare av en egen religion, Universal Zulu Nation, där så avlägsna musikstilar som Kraftwerk, melodin från Rosa Pantern och Rolling Stones blandas i The Magic Disco Machine. Bambaataa är predikanten som talar om hiphoppens fyra element: DJ:ing, rappen, b-boying (dans) och graffitin.En annan glorifierad ledare är Grand master Flash.Under alla omständigheter delar gängen under 70- och 80-talen en revolutionär estetik. Det handlar om att släppa ut en stil, orörd av marknadskrafterna, skyddad och inkapslad av nästan klosterliknande riter och koder. Kidsen upplever sig vara osynliga. Och längtar efter en stund framför tv-kameran. Betänk att detta händer parallellt med Reagans kritvita USA. Tillfället att förvandla aggressivitet till konst kunde knappast varit mera passande.I takt med att kapitalismen glorifieras tilltar hiphoppens ursinnighet och bildar, med apartheid och gamla medborgarrättsrörelser i minnet, en ny black consciousness-rörelse mot överheten. När sedan Rodney King misshandlas av fyra polismän i Los Angeles 1992 hamnar alla plötsligt i samma gäng. Krigströtta släpper DJ Quik, Comptons Most Wanted och Above The Law vapnen och börjar göra musik som klättrar på topplistorna.Hiphoppen tycks ständigt stå vid ett vägskäl. Ska den bli en folkkonst vars äkthet behöver bevaras och bevakas? Eller ett evigt uppror? När den nu går in i superkommersialismens loop talar mycket för att hiphopgenerationen måste vara extra påpasslig och kritisk. En gång fanns det en kreativ spänning mellan musiken som handelsvara och livsnerv i lokala subkulturer. I dag flyttas makten beslutsamt mot mediemonopolen.Är svart ilska farligare än vit ilska? Det går inte komma ifrån att hiphop är bomullsplockarens arv till musiken. Rapparen Ice T uttrycker det så här: Man behöver svarta män som inte ser upp till den vite mannen, som inte försöker vara den vite mannen. Vi måste lära våra ungar slavägarens natur. KartellenSebbe Staxx, Kakan, Maskinisten och Kinesen. Sedan fem, sex år är Kartellen en av Sveriges mest uppmärksammade och provocerande hiphopgrupper.Texterna ger blodsmak i munnen. Vissa av medlemmarna är dömda för vapenbrott, anstiftan till mord och några av Sveriges mest uppmärksammade värdetransportrån.Och ändå svänger det! Alltid på värsta allvar. Som titeln på deras första album som kom på ett större skivbolag, Ånger & kamp.Det har aldrig varit någon hemlighet vilket syfte Kartellen har med musiken.Revansch!Revansch mot det mesta faktiskt. Mot trisstessen, förorten, betongen, sociala stressen, kriminaliteten, fyllan, knarket och överdosen, den svenska modellen, utanförskapet, underklassen, utsattheten, morden, skuldkänslorna, demonerna, spelet, vapnen, beroendet, egosamhälletPå samma sätt som Staten och kapitalet lyckades sammanfatta dagsläget vid slutet av 1980-talet, ger Kartellen oss bilden av 2016. Kappt någon framtid. Bara fyra nyanser av grått.Förort som förort? Eller?

Mighty Diamonds are a Jamaican harmony trio, recording roots reggae with a strong Rastafarian influence. was formed in 1969 and remains together as of 2012. They are best known for their 1976 debut album Right Time produced by Joseph Hoo Kim and the 1979 release Deeper Roots.Formed in 1969 in the Trenchtown area of Kingston, the group comprises lead vocalist Donald "Tabby" Shaw, and harmony vocalists Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson and Lloyd "Judge" Ferguson.[1][2] They had become friends at school in the mid-1960s, and were originally called The Limelight, adopting 'The Mighty Diamonds' after Shaw's mother started referring to them as "the diamonds".[3][4] Their smooth harmonies and choreographed stage show were inspired by Motown vocal groups of the 1960s, with Shaw listing The Temptations, The Stylistics, The Impressions, and The Delfonics as influences as well as Jamaican rocksteady artists such as John Holt and Ken Boothe.[2][3][4] Their early recordings were produced by Pat Francis, Stranger Cole ("Girl You Are Too Young" (1970), "Oh No Baby"), Derrick Harriott ("Mash Up"), Bunny Lee ("Jah Jah Bless the Dreadlocks", "Carefree Girl"), Lee "Scratch" Perry ("Talk About It"), and Rupie Edwards, but it was in 1973 that they had their first hit single with the Francis-produced "Shame and Pride", recorded at the Dynamic Sounds studio.[2][4][5] It was their mid-1970s work with producer Joseph Hoo Kim that gave them their real breakthrough.[1] "Country Living" and "Hey Girl", were recorded and released by the Channel One label. "Right Time" followed, on Hoo Kim's Well Charge label, and cemented their status as one of the top Jamaican groups of the time www.crsradio.com 661-467-2407 caribbeanradioshow@gmail.com

With so much negativity around the world my music is my contribution towards making our world a better place.”   Norris Man Born and raised in the notorious Trenchtown and Arnett Gardens area of Kingston, Jamaica, Christopher Campbell, now known as Norris Man had Bob Marley as a hometown hero to inspire his immersion into the musical arena. As a young boy Norris Man (named because of his enthusiasm for karate king Chuck Norris) would sit under a tree to write his own songs of redemption. Feeling music within him, Norris could not ignore his gift of singing and performing. In the Kingston dancehalls of his youth, older sound boys would hoist ten year-old Norris on top a Guiness box and hand him the mic to stir up the dance. Such experiences lit the musical fire for this ghetto youth. From there his musical journey began.
