jävligt bra fråga. Känns som om ska i folkmun blivit allt som går i baktakt och inte låter som reggea.
Dessutom så bör du läsa dig stava, reggae, och inte “reggea”.

Kan inte nån insöad baktaktskännare ge oss en genomgång av de olika genrer som kan räknas in under baktakt..?

Ska is the first major local Jamaican genre, flourishing from 1961 or 62 to around 1966. It is characterised by a fast, syncopated rhythm guitar stroke, driving horns and boogie-style stand-up bass. Many people associate the term mainly with 1980s British Two Tone ska revival, which was a mixture of ska and punk attitude. Major ska artists include Laurel Aitken (The Godfather Of Ska), Derrick Morgan, Prince Buster and The Skatalites.

Rocksteady is a slower musical style, in time between ska and early reggae (ie. between 1966 and 68). Besides the low pace its main feature is the electric bass, which takes on the position of lead instrument with intricate melodies and a high position in the mix. Rocksteady is also known for its Impressions-styled vocal harmonies. Major artists include Alton Ellis, The Paragons and Desmond Dekker.

Early reggae or Skinhead Reggae is generally considered to be the period before the Rastafari movement entered mainstream Jamaican music from 1968 to 1970. It can be distinguished from rocksteady by the slightly faster beat marked out by the drummer using the hi-hat, heavy organ lines, lower mixing of the bass and electronically doubled rhythm guitar stroke. It met great success in the UK especially with the skinhead youth movement. Major artists include John Holt and Toots and the Maytals, The Pioneers.
Nyabhingi is a roots subgenre related to the Rastafarian grouping of the same name. It’s characterised by hand-drumming derived from religious ceremonies. Well known artists are Count Ossie or Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus.
Dub is an instrumental genre built around the application of electronic equipment on existing recorded tracks. Its sound (built around individual instrumental tracks changing volume, appearing, disappearing, all while various effects and filters are applied to them) has proven very influential on modern dance music. Major artists include King Tubby, Lee “Scratch” Perry and Scientist.

DJ is the Jamaican precursor to hip hop, based on Deejays (Jamaica’s emcees) toasting (talking) over instrumental tracks or riddims. Famous deejays from before the dancehall era include U-Roy, Big Youth and King Stitt.

Roots reggae is perhaps the best-known form of reggae today, with its Rastafarian message. Early reggae production is further developed with electronics and influences from contemporary western music. Although largely supplanted in the popular imagination by Dancehall in 1979, the style continues even today as a minority underground genre. Bob Marley is the internationally most famous exponent of the style, but Horace Andy, Black Uhuru and The Abyssinians are also well known.

Dancehall, starting in 1979, is characterised by stripped-down, spacious productions, prominent basslines and the inclusion of dub-style effects, often coupled with bawdy ‘slackness’ lyrics. The genre spawned a new generation of Jamaican stars, including Barrington Levy, Yellowman and Eek-a-Mouse.
Ragga, or raggamuffin, is electronic dancehall music. Beginning under producer Prince Jammy in 1985, the genre originally was produced on simple casio keyboards but eventually other synthesisers have been added. Super Cat, Shabba Ranks and Charlie Chaplin are some of the well-known artists of the eighties and early nineties.

Modern dancehall is today’s ragga music, with advanced synthesisers and hip-hop influences. Major artist include Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and Sizzla.

Bra info! Vi har ju dock missat lite utav historien om dub om vi skulle inkludera alla baktaktsgungande gangrar.

Vi drar väl lite om det också då..

Dub is a form of Jamaican music, which evolved out of ska and reggae in 1970s Jamaica. The dub reggae sound includes adding extensive echo and reverb effects to an existing music piece, sometimes accompanied by snatches of the lyrics from the original version.

Dub is characterized as a “version” of an existing song, typically emphasizing the drums and bass for a sound popular in local Sound Systems. The instrumental tracks are typically drenched in sound processing effects such as echo, reverb, part vocal and extra percussion, with most of the lead instruments and vocals dropping in and out of the mix. The music sometimes features processed sound effects and other noises, such as animal sounds, babies crying, and producers shouting instructions at the musicians. It can be further augmented by live DJs.

Jag var helsåld i Marley på 80-talet. Tyvärr var jag för ung för att fatta hur stor han var innan han dog. Finns ingen artist som ens varit i närheten av den store. Lyssna på allt han gjorde innan du provar dej vidare… annars missar du det bästa!!!

Den här tråden fick mej att snurra runt på nätet och spana efter gamla godingar, och minnas när man satt hemma med sin monoradio och lyssnade på “Radio Västindien” med Tomas Gylling. TACK!
