This exhilarating production is based on the groundbreaking film of the same name, which starred Jimmy Cliff and launched reggae onto a world stage. Young singer Ivan Martin heads to Kingston with dreams of becoming a reggae star, but the harsh reality of the Jamaican music scene drives him into a fast and furious life as an outlaw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show features many returning cast members from the Theatre Royal Stratford East production, such as Rolan Bell as Ivan and Joanna Francis as Elsa. Accompanied by a live reggae band, the cast perform all the classic songs from the film soundtrack, including You Can Get It If You Really Want and By The Rivers of Babylon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A feel-good smash hit that marks a defining moment in Jamaican culture.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/03/harder-they-come.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-5431274402587572784</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-03-18T10:01:58.951-03:00</atom:updated><title>MIKEY DREAD PASSED AWAY</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://www.mikeydread.com/a/md6.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.mikeydread.com/a/md6.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Campbell (aka “Mikey Dread) our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend passed away on Saturday, March 15, 2008 with his wife and family by his side.

Bob Marley teve 13 filhos, vários dos quais frutos de casos extraconjugais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelo menos parte do projeto será rodado na Jamaica, mas outras locações serão usadas também para aproveitar descontos em impostos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O filme pode chegar aos cinemas antes do documentário longa-metragem autorizado de Martin Scorsese sobre o cantor, cujo lançamento está previsto para 6 de fevereiro de 2010, quando Bob Marley completaria 65 anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O músico será representado por dois atores, um deles fazendo o papel dele aos 15 anos e o outro representando Marley já adulto. A trilha sonora pode ter canções originais, covers cantados por um ator ou uma fusão de ambos, ao estilo do que foi feito em &quot;Ray&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rita Marley diz que seu neto Stefan é &quot;sósia&quot; do cantor e seria perfeito para o papel.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/03/viva-de-bob-marley-vai-produzir-filme.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-7589132012891567609</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2008 15:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-01T13:35:21.512-02:00</atom:updated><title>“Global Reggae: Jamaican Popular Music A Yard and Abroad.”</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TGEBCTPRjTQ/R6M7ysw3QuI/AAAAAAAAAlM/qgK5rhN8QcU/s1600-h/homepage01.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TGEBCTPRjTQ/R6M7ysw3QuI/AAAAAAAAAlM/qgK5rhN8QcU/s320/homepage01.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162035340092326626&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Institute of Caribbean Studies and the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of the West Indies, Mona announce an international conference on “Global Reggae: Jamaican Popular Music A Yard and Abroad.” The conference, to be held February 18-24, 2008, at the University of the West Indies, Mona , Jamaica and other venues on the island, is the third in a series focusing on Caribbean culture. The first, held in 1996, honoured the distinguished legacy of Professor the Hon. Rex Nettleford, Vice-Chancellor Emeritus of the University of the West Indies. The second, held in 2002, celebrated the work of the Barbadian griot/historian, Professor Kamau Brathwaite. This third conference, to be held in association with the Recording Industry Association of Jamaica (RIAJam), the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission, the Bob Marley Foundation, and the Jamaica Tourist Board, pays tribute to the generation of musicians who have created reggae – Jamaica&#39;s distinctive contribution to world culture. Icons such as: Count Matchuki, Don Drummond, Count Ossie, Mrs. Pottinger, and Prince Buster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONFERENCE RATIONALE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conference and the associated reggae concerts will consolidate and disseminate knowledge on the global impact of Jamaica&#39;s distinctive musical contribution to world culture. This conference builds on the foundation of the 1995 symposium that was held at the University of the West Indies, Mona, co-sponsored by the Reggae Studies Unit and the Bob Marley Foundation, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of Jamaica&#39;s premier cultural ambassador , the Hon. Robert Nesta Marley. The Global Reggae 2008 conference will provide an opportunity for musicians, scholars, cultural practitioners and entrepreneurs from Jamaica and around the world to reflect on and document the global impact of reggae.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conference keynote speakers from each continent will share their perspectives on the ways in which Jamaican reggae has been appropriated and adapted in a variety of cultural contexts. This international conference will also examine the local impact of the reggae music industry in Jamaica and assess ways in which the Jamaican economy can benefit more directly from the investments of intellectual property in this vibrant multinational industry. You can obtain more information about the conference, concerts and poster sessions by clicking Schedule or by clicking Conference Call . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conference is designed to convene the academics, music business leaders and the artists to collectively explore the achievements and to shape the future of Jamaica&#39;s globalised reggae. The major objective for this event are to create forum for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) the exploration of the history and the development of reggae themes and ideas;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) exposing all persons who may be interested to more detailed knowledge of the business aspects of the Reggae music industry;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)showcasing young and upcoming talent both local and international to a wider audience; and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) honouring and celebrating excellence in Reggae internationally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exploring the history and the development of reggae themes and ideas (theory)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sessions in this track will encourage discussion on the development of the music form in its various local and international contexts. It is expected that a high level of analysis will be applied to texts and themes within to uncover histories, meanings and motives of the music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expose all players to the business of Reggae(business)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The continued development of the management and business capacities of the sector is an integral component of the conference.

Never before has there been staged such a comprehensive cultural exposition showcasing the role of Jamaican popular music in the internationalisation of Jamaica culture. The publication and archiving of these activities are absolutely fundamental. The materials produced in a variety of media will constitute an essential learning resource for local and international students at many levels of of the educational system- from secondary to tertiary. The on-going sale of multi-media packages arising out of the academic conference, business development forum, concert sessions and awards will generate substantial funding to consolidate the resource base of the Reggae Studies Unit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conference keynote speakers will be invited from:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * North America&lt;br /&gt;    * Latin America&lt;br /&gt;    * the United Kingdom&lt;br /&gt;    * Europe&lt;br /&gt;    * Africa&lt;br /&gt;    * Japan&lt;br /&gt;    * The Pacific&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit: http://www.mona.uwi.edu/conferences/2008/globalreggae/index.php</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/02/global-reggae-jamaican-popular-music.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TGEBCTPRjTQ/R6M7ysw3QuI/AAAAAAAAAlM/qgK5rhN8QcU/s72-c/homepage01.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-4093840743700838752</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-01T13:01:33.846-02:00</atom:updated><title>PM declares February &#39;Reggae Month&#39; (Fevereiro é declarado o mês oficial do Reggae)</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20080110/ent/images/Layout1_1_PJO7Areggaea2AM.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20080110/ent/images/Layout1_1_PJO7Areggaea2AM.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Rita Marley addresses a press conference during the launch of February as &#39;Reggae Month&#39; at Jamaica House yesterday. At left is Prime Minister Bruce Golding. - Junior Dowie/Staff Photographer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Music Industry got a boost when Prime Minister Bruce Golding launched the observation of Reggae Month yesterday at the Office of the Prime Minister during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said he has instructed the Governor-General, Professor Kenneth Hall, to issue a proclamation to declare February as Reggae Month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lauded the briefing as one of the most pleasant tasks he has had to perform since taking office. He says reggae has been a medium of economic advancement and Reggae Month can be used to draw world attention to our music. Golding added that Jamaica Trade and Invest will be promoting Brand Jamaica and central to this campaign is our music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Reggae is so powerful; people across the world embrace it. It is the medium we have used to declare our position against oppression and suffering. It is a consistent declaration of love,&quot; he continued to the delight of industry players in attendance, including Rita Marley, Dean Frazer, Lloyd Stanbury, Isaiah Laing, Clifton Dillon and Barbara Blake-Hanna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of the celebrations, a Global Reggae Conference will be hosted at the University of the West Indies under the guidance of the Reggae Studies Unit head, Professor Carolyn Cooper. There will also be the annual Bob Marley lecture on his birthday, February 6. Cooper says through this effort the unit hopes to be able to start a fund so that students at the university can bridge the gap between academics and our music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Activities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rita Marley will also be heavily involved in the activities for the month, as she will put on &#39;Africa Unite-Smile Jamaica Youth Symposium&#39;. She will also give Jamaica a taste of &#39;Africa Unite-Smile Jamaica Concert&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other activities for the month include: Bob Marley Creative Expressions Day, One Love football match, Reggae Film Festival, African Film Festival and the Reggae Academy Awards, which will be hosted by the Recording Industry Association of Jamaica. Chairman of the Reggae Academy, Lloyd Stanbury, says the awards will be determined by musical excellence and not record sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Golding says he believes Reggae Month will be a formative month because it will help to make February 2009 a grand experience when the country will celebrate the 50th year since the birth of reggae.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says the music can be a means of advancement but it can also be a destructive force if not used properly. Nonetheless, he said there should be no ambiguity about the roots of our music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His effort was praised by Rita Marley, who said those who started reggae toiled for it to be accepted and she believes they have partially achieved their mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It is a privilege and an honour for the Government to recognise February as Reggae Month. If Bob was here he would say &#39;One Love!&#39;,&quot; commented Rita Marley.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/02/pm-declares-february-reggae-month.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-1602207087569271695</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 01:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-20T23:07:41.938-02:00</atom:updated><title>HISTORIA DO REGGAE NO MARANHAO - 1</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/gdlTGERo-Mg&amp;rel=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/gdlTGERo-Mg&amp;rel=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/01/historia-do-reggae-no-maranhao-1.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-2870586288459149217</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 01:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-20T23:07:11.761-02:00</atom:updated><title>HISTORIA DO REGGAE DO MARANHAO - 2</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/oMzVnviBi2c&amp;rel=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/oMzVnviBi2c&amp;rel=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/01/historia-do-reggae-do-maranhao-2.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-2899338194594413686</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2008 01:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-20T23:06:40.506-02:00</atom:updated><title>HISTORIA DO REGGAE DO MARANHAO - 3</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xF7KOdYNU4I&amp;rel=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xF7KOdYNU4I&amp;rel=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2008/01/historia-do-reggae-do-maranhao-3.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-311084527483303413</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2008 11:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-01-07T09:46:18.621-02:00</atom:updated><title>FELIZ 2008, HAPPY NEW YEAR !</title><description>Devagar, devagar...aqui!

Não a toa, é a Jamaica Brasileira!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;São Luís será palco de uma grande festa da nação regueira. A Secretaria Municipal de Turismo realiza hoje, 5, o II Tributo ao Reggae, que será aberto às 19h, no Ceprama, pelo refeito Tadeu Palácio. O evento, com entrada franca, integra as comemorações do Dia Municipal do Regueiro, 5 de setembro, e dos 395 anos da cidade de São Luís, 8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A festa regueira será oferecida aos moradores da cidade, às pessoas que visitam São Luís durante o feriado da semana da Pátria e, principalmente, aos que apreciam o ritmo jamaicano. Serão mais de cinco horas de reggae de raiz. Entre as atrações estão os DJs Ademar Danilo, Luizinho Black, Robert Marley, Tarcísio Seleckta e Jorge Black; os cantores Levi James, Zé Lopes, Célia Sampaio e Luís Guerreiro; as bandas, Filho de Jah, Guetos, Kazamata e Capital Roots; os grupos de dança Garotinhos Beleza, Saint Louis e Gdam; e a Radiola Estrela do Som. O ritmo musical jamaicano chegou à Ilha de São Luís há mais de três décadas, enraizando-se na cultura local. Não só em São Luís, mas em quase todo o estado, o reggae representa mais que um ritmo musical, a sua influência o transformou em um estilo de vida para muitos fãs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consciente da relevância do reggae para a comunidade local e de como este ritmo pode ser aproveitado para fins econômicos, sociais e culturais, a Secretaria de Turismo criou, em 2005, o projeto “São Luís Ilha do Reggae”, desenvolvido em parceria com os diversos segmentos do reggae e instituições públicas. Através de Comissão Integrada, instrumento consultivo e propositivo para a criação de políticas públicas do reggae de São Luis, a Secretaria busca consolidar o reggae na capital como produto de qualidade, de geração de trabalho e renda.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/09/prefeitura-realiza-tributo-ao-reggae.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-9172855139405558847</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-09T21:06:51.318-03:00</atom:updated><title>WE A ROCKER</title><description>Jacob &quot;Killer&quot; Miller in a rare clip!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/HN9Ll4xsEIY&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/HN9Ll4xsEIY&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/09/we-rocker.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-6437418386494998317</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Sep 2007 11:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-09-03T08:15:08.383-03:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marley ação judicial</category><title>Família de Bob Marley quer processar Universal Music</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://images.ig.com.br/publicador/igpop/243/243/41/240222.bob_marley_musica_242_239.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://images.ig.com.br/publicador/igpop/243/243/41/240222.bob_marley_musica_242_239.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O singelo lançamento de uma nova linha de toques para celular pode render um pesado processo para a Universal Music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A família de Bob Marley planeja processar a gigante da indústria fonográfica por usar indevidamente o nome e imagem do músico, alegando que não cedeu os direitos para uma nova campanha publicitária.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O projeto envolve a disponibilização dos clássicos &quot;One Love&quot; e &quot;I Shot the Sheriff&quot;, entre outros, para o comércio dos toques nas empresas de telefonia celular nos EUA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Universal é proprietária da Island Records, onde Marley gravou a maior parte de sua discografia, inclusive o álbum Exodus, que será relançado neste ano em comemoração aos 30 anos de seu lançamento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A gravadora afirma que as acusações da família Marley não procedem e que até agora não foi acionada judicialmente.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/09/famlia-de-bob-marley-quer-processar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-3686371802991185184</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Aug 2007 00:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-08-30T21:48:39.657-03:00</atom:updated><title>Cidade Negra relê a MPB e o pop rock em ritmo de reggae em nome da diversão</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://oglobo.globo.com/fotos/2007/08/17/17_MVG_cult_tonyvcidade.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://oglobo.globo.com/fotos/2007/08/17/17_MVG_cult_tonyvcidade.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamari França - O Globo Online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RIO - O Cidade Negra acabou de gravar no belíssimo Teatro Popular Oscar Niemeyer, em Niterói, o CD e DVD &quot;Diversão - Cidade Negra canta MPB&quot;, um projeto que certamente lhe valerá críticas por ser um disco ao vivo logo depois de outro, &#39;&#39;Direto&#39;&#39;, que comemorou 20 anos de carreira e foi o último pela SonyBMG. Além disso, o repertório não é inédito, trata-se de um apanhado de canções dos anos 70 e 80 de Cassiano, Tim Maia e Chico Buarque a Cazuza e Ultraje a Rigor. Mas o que importa é o resultado, que vai de bom a muito bom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Primavera nos dentes&quot;, faixa de fechamento do primeiro álbum do Secos e Molhados, ganhou um tratamento vigoroso bem mais adequado à letra que fala em ter consciência para ter coragem e ter a força para saber que existe. Toni Garrido arrepiou junto com as vocalistas Ana Luisa e Cacau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A banda fez outros resgates interessantes na gravação desta quinta-feira, acompanhada pelo GLOBO ONLINE. &quot;A Palo seco&quot;, uma das melhores canções de Belchior, teve muitos efeitos de dub e um inspirado solo de trombone de Marlon. A banda não poupou em efeitos, não apenas em dub mas em ruídos eletrônicos diversos e no uso de eco na voz de Toni, além da massa instrumental fornecida pelos teclados de Alex Meirelles, a guitarra de Sérgio Yazbek, que pilotou Strato, Les Paul, Telecaster e uma Gibson SG de dois braços igual à de Jimmy Page. Ele destruiu nos solos e efeitos, enquanto o guitarrista titular, Da Gama ficou mais nas bases, garantindo a pulsação junto com o baixo de Bino e a bateria de Lazão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Caetano, Djavan e Chico Buarque em ritmo de reggae&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A banda tem uma excelência musical refinada por 20 anos de estrada, o que levou a platéia de convidados a dançar o tempo inteiro sentada - se fosse num lugar em pé o entusiasmo teria sido bem maior, tanto do público quanto da banda. Caetano Veloso foi contemplado com duas canções, &quot;Muito romântico&quot; e &quot;A lua e eu&quot;, esta com belo solo de trumpete com surdina de Odair Martins. De Pepeu Gomes a insossa &quot;Meu coração&quot; e a polêmica &quot;O mal é o que sai da boca do homem&quot; (Você pode fumar baseado/ Baseado em que você pode fumar quase tudo&quot;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em &quot;Minha história&quot;, de Chico Buarque, Toni colocou novos versos em licença poética &quot;os regueiros e poetas de fumaça e de cruz me conhecem só pelo meu nome de Cidade Negra a a a a&quot;. &quot;Inútil&quot; do Ultraje a Rigor, do começo dos anos 80, se mostrou dolorosamente atual. Toni anunciou como &quot;uma homenagem a todos nós&quot; e cantou com indignação, especialmente no verso &quot; a gente não sabemos escolher presidente&quot;. Um libelo certeiro contra a passividade do povo brasileiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ambientação visual está muito bonita. Duas colunas de leds nos lados do palco, um telão de leds no fundo, muitos efeitos multicoloridos, muitas moving lights. Tudo deve contribuir para enriquecer o DVD dirigido por Beto Oliveira. A produção musical está entregue a Nilo Romero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Lilás&quot;, de Djavan, ficou melhor que a original, o que não é difícil, &quot;Fullgás&quot; ganhou em ritmo de reggae com um vocal melhor que o de Marina, &quot;A lua e eu&quot;, de mestre Cassiano, foi recebida com entusiasmo pela platéia. E assim se passaram duas horas com algumas repetições, alguns problemas técnicos contornados com bom humor por Toni, tudo por um projeto que entrega o que anuncia: Diversão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Abaixo, o repertório completo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Muito romântico&quot; - Caetano Veloso&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Tudo azul&quot; - Lulu Santos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A lua e eu&quot; - Cassiano&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Lilás&quot; - Djavan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Monte Castelo&quot; - Legião Urbana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Meu coração&quot; - Pepeu Gomes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A palo seco&quot; - Belchior&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Fullgás&quot; - Marina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Minha história&quot; - Chico Buarque&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Primavera nos dentes&quot; - Secos e Molhados&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Lua e estrela&quot; - Vinícius Cantuária&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Errare humanum est&quot; - Jorge Benjor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Clube da esquina n° 2&quot; - Lô Borges&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Inútil&quot; - Ultraje a Rigor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;O mal é o que sai da boca do homem&quot; - Pepeu Gomes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Me liga&quot; - Paralamas do Sucesso&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;O tempo não pára&quot; - Cazuza&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Deixa chover&quot; - Guilherme Arantes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Eu amo você&quot; - Tim Maia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Todos estão surdos&quot;- Roberto Carlos</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/08/cidade-negra-rel-mpb-e-o-pop-rock-em.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-3967734136828152182</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jul 2007 15:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-04T12:49:36.800-03:00</atom:updated><title>Olodum participa de festival de reggae na Itália</title><description>OSOPPO (ITÁLIA) - A festa reggae mais importante da Europa, o &quot;Rototom Sunsplash&quot;, terá sua 14ª edição de 5 a 14 de julho na cidade de Osoppo, no nordeste da Itália.

However, much better known is the more melodic interpretation of &quot;One Love&quot; that was included on Bob&#39;s 1977 album Exodus (cited as Time magazine&#39;s Album of the Century). With its slower reggae beat and cheerily plunked piano chords, the Exodus rendition of &quot;One Love&quot; was selected by the Jamaican Tourist Board as its theme song in the early 90s and continues to be used by the organization to promote the island within the competitive travel industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &quot;One Love&quot; symbolizes the message of Jamaica to the world through tourism as we seek to promote peace and harmony and tolerance of all people,&quot; explains David Shields, Deputy Director of the Jamaica Tourist Board. &quot;The song has been used repeatedly by the tourist board to promote Jamaica and in recent research, our consumers have indicated that not only does the song resonate positively but as a destination Jamaica resonates positively through the song. So Bob Marley&#39;s iconic presence and his music continues to represent Jamaica and our work in a positive way and in all of our campaigns we continue to use &#39;One Love&#39; and reggae as one of our unique selling propositions to the world.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a somewhat-related note comes news from a Seattle Trademark Lawyer, reporting on a recent lawsuit filed in the United States by an American rock band called The Wailers. They&#39;ve been performing as &quot;The Wailers&quot; since 1959, and they registered their band name as a trademark in 2003. Now they complain about the registration of the domain name wailers.com and allege that The Wailers in Jamaica have infringed and diluted their trademark for the band name and are causing confusion among music lovers everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The Wailers was a ska, rocksteady and reggae group formed in Kingston, Jamaica in 1963, consisting of Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, Bunny Livingston (aka Bunny Wailer), Bob Marley, Peter McIntosh (aka Peter Tosh), and Cherry Smith. They were called variously The Teenagers, The Wailing Rudeboys, The Wailing Wailers, and finally The Wailers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm...wonder what Bunny Wailer would think about all this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    What your hands do, it&#39;s your own eyes that &#39;ve seen. So, won&#39;t you judge your actions, to make sure the results are clean? It&#39;s your own conscience, that is gonna remind you, that it&#39;s your heart, and nobody else&#39;s, that is gonna judge. So, be not selfish, in your doings, pass it on. Help your brothers, in their needs, pass it on. Live for yourself, you will live in vain. Live for others, you will live again.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/07/one-love-and-wailers-trademark-dispute.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-5435683320060194122</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jul 2007 16:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-07-02T13:15:10.875-03:00</atom:updated><title>O fim da homofobia no reggae</title><description>Os cantores de reggae e dancehall Beenie Man, Sizzla e Capleton assinaram um texto se comprometendo a excluir o conteúdo homofóbio das suas letras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O texto foi intitulado de Ato de Compaixão do Reggae e representa um acordo firmado entre pessoas envolvidas na cena de reggae e o grupo Stop Murder Music, que luta contra a homofobia na música.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ambos são estrelas da música jamaicana e conhecidos por atacar gays em suas músicas, o que já causou diversos protestos de grupos pelos direitos civis dos homossexuais.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/07/o-fim-da-homofobia-no-reggae.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-6155592306327090470</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-06-28T23:25:43.989-03:00</atom:updated><title>Bob Marley - Exodus: 30th Anniversary Edition (Island)</title><description>Repeteco in english!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REGGAE would have been Jamaica’s secret had it not been for Bob Marley’s crusading songs of redemption, ripe with the fruit of human spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a man exiled from his homeland in the midst of political strife, a man who survived an attempt on his life no less, Exodus is a defiant act. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A celebration of his spirit and passion at a time when a lesser man could have been broken. If Natty Dread was the album which truly gave reggae its passport, Exodus gave it refugee status. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recorded in 1977, it has aged well, despite familiarity threatening contempt; many of the tracks on Exodus have been co-opted by advertising executives at some time or another, looking to grease the wheels of consumerism with Marley’s iconic work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet conversely, it could be argued that it is because of this integration into everyday culture, rather than being coveted jealously by a few, that Exodus has remained so fresh and contemporary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an album that everybody should already own, and after some 50-plus weeks in the UK charts, clearly, many already do. It transcends the boundaries of what is expected from popular music. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politically, Exodus is a statement; musically, it pulses with a joyous defiance. The rhythm is an hypnotic skank, almost psychedelic in green, gold and red hue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swagger &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps it’s loosened by Marley’s stash of ganja, or The Wailers’ confident swagger, either way, there’s an r’n’b gloss to the production which suggests that Marley’s outlook was worldwide at the time, noting the works of soul and R’nB artists and applying that sonic clarity to the traditionally rustic spice of the roots reg-gae stew. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The great Curtis Mayfield’s People Get Ready is given a Trenchtown makeover, ending the album with a gospel inspired flood of unity and hope. Two values which shine consistently in Marley’s work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three Little Birds and Turn Your lights Down Low are essentially soul tracks with a strong Kingston lilt and dreadlocked hair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marley’s legacy is everywhere; from fathering a commercial acceptance of reggae, raising awareness of Rastafarianism, to paving the way for even more aggressive musical expressions of Jamaican identity, such as dancehall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is even preserved in ink, with Marley’s image, brandishing his Les Paul Junior like a machine gun, adorning posters and prints the world over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This 30th anniversary edition comes in a bewildering array of formats and, really, one wonders what Marley himself would think of his album being available on a USB stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, if you don’t own Exodus, preferably on the original vinyl pressing, then your record collection is most certainly incomplete. Buy it (on CD) while summer is still upon us.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/06/bob-marley-exodus-30th-anniversary.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-7988281420422579152</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-06-28T23:16:31.082-03:00</atom:updated><title>Cantores de reggae se comprometem a não pregar a homofobia</title><description>Eles são estrelas da música jamaicana atual e são conhecidos por atacar gays em suas canções. Tal atitude já causou diversos protestos de grupos pelos direitos civis dos homossexuais. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O texto intitulado de Ato de Compaixão do Reggae representa um acordo firmado entre pessoas envolvidas na cena de reggae e o grupo Stop Murder Music, que luta contra a homofobia na música. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Não há espaço na comunidade musical para ódio e preconceito e também não há lugar para racismo, violência, sexismo e homofobia&quot;, diz o termo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os cantores concordaram, ainda, em &quot;não fazer afirmações ou interpretar canções que incitem o ódio e a violência contra qualquer pessoa de qualquer comunidade&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diversos artistas de reggae vêm sofrendo boicote por parte de público e patrocinadores de seus shows. Algumas apresentações, inclusive, vêm sendo canceladas por força das campanhas de grupos que defendem os direitos dos homossexuais. No entanto, outros cantores se recusaram a participar da campanha e assinar o texto. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em uma das letras até o assassinato de gays chegou a ser incitado.Um outro acordo já havia sido feito anteriormente, mas declarações e faixas pró-homofobia voltaram a ser veiculadas depois de um tempo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na Jamaica, apenas a homossexualidade é considerada crime, passível de 10 anos de prisão.</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/06/cantores-de-reggae-se-comprometem-no.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15043183.post-480847845468161848</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-06-28T23:15:20.514-03:00</atom:updated><title>Versão ‘de bolso’ de clássico de Bob Marley introduz formato alternativo</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Musica/foto/0,,10903101-EX,00.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;&quot; src=&quot;http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Musica/foto/0,,10903101-EX,00.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para comemorar o 30º aniversário do álbum “Exodus”, um dos clássicos de Bob Marley, considerado pela revista “Time” o melhor disco do século 20, a gravadora Island Records, subsidiária da Universal, está relançando as músicas em um novo formato. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lançado originalmente em vinil em 1977, o álbum agora pode ser adquirido em um drive USB. A empresa produziu 4.000 peças, carregadas não só com as 10 faixas originais, mas também com músicas adicionais e vídeos de Bob Marley, falecido em 1981. Cada pen drive, que deve ser plugado a qualquer porta USB do computador, custa US$ 44,99 (cerca de R$ 90). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O preço alto reflete no conteúdo extra do “stick”, mas também no fato de que ele pode ser reutilizado como um pen drive para transferir arquivos de um computador para outro – basta fazer o download do conteúdo e deixá-lo livre para outros fins. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enquanto o flash drive aparece como uma forma de remodelar a indústria, algumas bandas já estão experimentando a novidade. No ano passado, o grupo canadense Barenaked Ladies lançou o álbum “The Barenaked Ladies are me” em drives USB, além de CDs. Foram vendidas na América do Norte mil unidades de drives a US$ 25 cada, e 166 mil CDs a US$ 18,98. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Não vai superar o formato tradicional, mas já é um começo”, diz Addam Smith, do selo Nettwerk Music Group, que cuida da banda canadense. Em suas turnês recentes, as Barenakeds gravam seus shows e disponibilizam as músicas em “sticks” USB assim que a apresentação termina. Até agora, o grupo vendeu 3.000 unidades de pen drives a US$ 40 cada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Custa mais do que um CD, mas com a vantagem de poder ser reutilizado - um pen drive convencional custa em torno de US$ 30. “Uma vez que você faz o upload das músicas para o computador, terá um pequeno hardware”, diz Smith. “Se você compra um USB, o preço não é muito mais alto e ainda vem carregado com músicas da sua banda favorita.”</description><link>http://reggaesoul-blog.blogspot.com/2007/06/verso-de-bolso-de-clssico-de-bob-marley.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Luiz)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
