After a session Bob Marley bowed and disappeared, The audience stood and gave a on-core. Rasta Vibrations and Stand Up For Your Rights” The audience raised while many did the reggae in the aisle. This was a revelation which many Jamaicans may never appreciate. Not since the time of Marcus Garvey had any Jamaican personality so exciting an American audience with a revolutionary message as that Rastafarian band which came out of Trench Town, came a brand new voice with a unique message in songs inspiring the hearts of American both Black and White youths Reggae music is characterized as being slow-d riving, throbbing rhythm that just won’t quit.

    This song set a new precedent for hip-hop, shaping it into a genre full of strong social commentary about the struggles of people of color and people in poor urban neighborhoods, and drawing attention to issues of institutionalized racism. It paints an image of life in the ghetto: in the 1980s the Bronx was a victim of government neglect, with resources and funds going to more affluent neighborhoods. The song sought to inform people of the conditions in their neighborhood and ghettos like it…

    Craig Werner’s A Change is Gonna Come: Music, Race, and the Soul of America, serves as an overview of the post-war history of recorded music by and influenced by African Americans. In addition to a historical analysis of post-war African American music, Werner focuses on how music both effects and is effected by society and provides a running dialogue between artists and eras. Music’s significance transcends its commercial and aesthetic value and does not simply serve as a soundtrack to a generation or a point in time. Additionally, music weaves itself into the fabric of history and when viewed in isolation loses its context and importance in understanding how it and the surrounding world changed over time. With that in mind, Werner sets out to place popular and vernacular artists in the “African American idiom” as a vital mirror to the human and American experience and in possession of the capacity to effect change.…

    This was an ideal song to perform at a dancing club due to its catchy tune and its lyrics about how one man cannot stop dancing on his swing feet. When listening to the song, one can hear the jazz influence melody in the background with Spanish and Calo singing in the foreground. Jazz sounds are difficult to describe in words, but one can hear the saxophone, trumpet, drum, trombone and bass being performed in a steady beat. The song’s intro highlights the jazz’s influence with the long note of trumpet accompany by slight drum playing and the saxophone solo after the first verse. Since jazz is the music of African American, sailors in the riots may have associated “Chicas Patas Boogie” with the minority group and attacked them during the riots.…

    Juan Williams’ “Songs of the Summer of 1963….and 2013” compares popular music from the sixties, with connections to the civil rights struggle, to in his own words, “malignant, self-aggrandizing rap songs that define today's most popular music.” In this subject to subject, or side by side, essay Mr. Williams talks about the music of the civil rights era, the artists who created it and its interracial effect from inception to present day. Then in a rather brief synopsis Williams expouses his belief that contemporary rap is inhibiting racial relations progress and sites examples of current violent, misogynistic and hate filled rap music and its artists. I chose this comparison essay because I believe it is a poor essay example of this type as the connections between the eras of music are tenuous at best, at least in the way the author seems to be expressing them. I am not a rap music fan, and I’m certainly not defending the negative effects on society some rap music may have, but to compare the many inspirational songs of the civil rights era to a current genre of music because it is dominated by…

    In chapter ten Jones discusses the two secularities ways that blues began to separate into throughout these next few years. People who moved forward to citizenship moved away from older blues.

However, the materials of blues were unavailable to the middle class and the white man. The movement far from mainstream developed what was known as ‘Jazz’.…

    Geto Boys Analysis

    Released on July 1, 1991, the single Mind Playing Tricks On Me by the Geto Boys delved into the mental stress of gangsta and drug addict lifestyles, and addressed how one reaffirmed their existence. During this period, the group consisted of Willie D, Scarface, and Bushwick Bill. They acknowledged their issues, such as coping, vulnerability, and reasons for living. Through this song, one is able to deduce that the lyrics and beat complement one another, and the first few verses set the tone of the entire track. Although there was a tendency for intoxication and profanity during the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Geto Boys hit Mind Playing Tricks On Me is a classic hip hop song that inspired generations of rappers in suit, is not one solely about drugs, and vocally illustrated hardships that were not commonly spoken of during that time.…

    After the first form of ‘American’ entertainment rose to popularity in the 1840’s known as the Minstrel Show, the African American race faced new forms of bigotry not alike from the injustice they had experienced for the past two centuries as a part of the transatlantic slave trade. Originally being encouraged by their slave traders, the roots of African music trace back to the 1600’s where slaves began singing and dancing to help maintain their physical condition and keep them from despair and suicide (Collier: The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). These experiences would come to shape customs of resilience, with the African American musical culture affirming this. Beginning with the development of Blues and Ragtime, this paper will discuss the…

    Rap Effects On Society

    Society’s views on rap and hip-hop music are often negative, despite other genres having similar social messages. One must ask themselves, why is hip hop and rap under such constant scrutiny? Authors Feagin, Vera, Batur, & Rose theorize, “From the start, the public viewed hip-hop culture and rap music through a racist lens. Rappers and rap fans were often portrayed as menacing Black adolescents, and rap music was vilified as violent and misogynistic” (qtd. in Sullivan 607). Although most people agree that modern day hip-hop and rap music have negative social effects, upon analysis, these views appear to be defective and based on bias perceptions— reinforcing racial oppression, racial stereotypes, and inequality.…

    Soul Train became “a cultural touchstone for the [young] African American artistic community” and provided this subculture with a platform where they could fully express themselves, often in forms of dance (Schnakenberg 632-633). Robert Schnakenberg highlights Todd Boyd’s, who is an assistant professor of critical studies at USC’s School of Cinema-Televison, quote: “Soul Train showed a generation what it meant to be cool” (632-633). And Soul Train truly did help in developing the growth of both funk and dance among the black youth that viewed the program regularly. In his article on Pitchfork, Stephen Deusner questions whether the music or the moves were more important in the success of Soul Train. Deusner goes on to assert that, “The well-known [funk artists]... were very often upstaged by the flamboyantly dressed dancers gyrating for the camera.”…

    interviews and portrays different musical performances and artists and their stories of how music helped them overcome the challenges they faced as an individual in South Africa during Apartheid. These artists and performances communicated the concept that music was an escape from reality and a form of empowerment during a hard time of repression, however they also shed light on the idea that the music would not have come if there was not a feeling of discontent and separation between 1948 and 1990. The ways that the songs are sung and performed and the ways that the artists speak during the film, seem to me to say that music came as a result of discrimination; that without these awful events occurring around them, the people of South Africa may not have sung such powerful songs and created intense musical…
