There will always be rumours about successful people flying around! While being with Chris Blackwell, Bob Marley and the Wailers were able to spread the&vibes of Jamaican music through worldwide tours, concerts and public appearances. Now more than a decade after Bob Marley's death, everyone is fighting over money they claimed is owing to them even signature forgeries stating that papers were singed by Bob three years before his death. Rastaman don't sign papers nor make wills. One of the funniest thing is this: When the British public, especially, the older generation first heard the Ska they turned up their noses and immediately dismissed the Ska by classing it as boom, boom jungle music." Now you will find some of the best collection of Ska, Rock Steady and Reggae residing in many British s they even passed the boom boom music to their children. Yea the boom, boom music had been passed to their children and grandchildren. But in spite of all that has happen, one should know that the great-great grandparent of Reggae is the Mento. Mento is a loose-sounding folk music, sometimes mistaken for calypso. In the1950s Jamaican youths were more interested in listening to American pop music, popularised by local radio stations and sound systems (Mobile Discotheque). It is these same portable Sound Systems dance machines and the proprietors competitiveness and insight that instigated in changing the face of Jamaican music. The Ska was revived again in 2002 through the UK release the "Rude Boy" Album. Yea to the Ska. It long way back to the 1960's when Prince Buster was in full swing with his ska music and soon after his initial success, Prince Buster was drawing international attention with his brand of ska. Never dies. |
