Summary:
This reading was mainly on the new style of music. A lot of musicians were trying to make and keep up with the new styles. They were discussing how a thing called " riddims" came along, its the same thing as rythm its just because jamaicans don't pronounce their "th" or like to say rythm. It sounds weird to us. They also talked about Bob Marley and how at first it was Bob Marley and the Wailers. They also made a comparison because Jamaicans seem to love jeeps and BMW's so they were saying we loved it the most because of the acronym standing for " Bob Marley and the Wailers ". Also certain record shops were not entered on a Friday or Saturday because of the idlers and because of the new releases that came from the UK that most of the woman would take and bring down there.
Quote:
" Most importantly, the electric guitar chopped out upfront chords on the second and fourth, straight down with a crisp channk! . . . channk!: it wasnt unusual for guitarist to tune their lowest string in with the bass and augment what the bass player was doing."
- what really stood out to me about this quote was the way they expressed the noise of the guitar.
Reaction:
My reaction on this reading was more expanded. I learned more about the types of instruments the jamaicans played. All along i thought it was just the drums, i didnt know they played guitar, piano, and all them things. i thought they generated them when they were making the riddims. I also learned about the people and most of the music was recorded and what some woman's main purpose was out there as to the record production thing.
