Product Description:
Jamaica is a small country in the Caribbean, 146 miles wide and populated by fewer than three million people. Nevertheless, it has exerted a more powerful hold on international popular music than any nation besides England and America. From Prince Buster to Burning Spear, Lee "Scratch" Perry to Yellowman, Bob Marley to Shabba Ranks, reggae music is one of the most dynamic and powerful musical forms of the twentieth century. And, as Lloyd Bradley shows in his deft, definitive, and always entertaining book, it is and always has been the people's music. Born in the sound systems of the Kingston slums, reggae was the first music poor Jamaicans could call their own, and as it spread throughout the world, it always remained fluid, challenging, and distinctly Jamaican. Based on six years of research -- original interviews with most of reggae's key producers, musicians, and international players -- and a lifelong enthusiasm for one of the most remarkable of the world's musics, This Is Reggae Music is the definitive history of reggae.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - this is reggae music paperback
A wonderful book which not only traces the history of reggae but delves into the fascinating and unique Jamaican culture as well, a big thumbs up!


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Não é genial, mas vale ler
Terrível a mudança de capa e de título. Como "Bass Culure" tem o mesmo texto comprei essa versão americana mesmo. O livro é escrito em inglês britânico informal, o que torna bem difícil de ler.

Não se trata de um livro sobre reggae apenas, mas sobre a "história social da música jamaicana". Não é um livro didático que te ensina o que ouvir, quem fez, etc... Vc vai aproveitar bem mais se conhece Reggae bem e está querendo se aprofundar na "cultura". Acho que a parte sobre ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Reggae Masterpiece
This book's a true masterpiece. It's a solid history balancing politics, culture, and musical analysis--all written with engaging style. Great stuff!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good thoro read
Great read about the history of reggae music. I learned a lot and ended up with a lot more reggae albums after reading some really cool stuff. However...his viewpoint on Marleys later Island work is sort of like reading a Yankees book written by a Red Sox fan....the guy seems to have some issues....however he does it justice by allowing Danny Simms to have the final say on Bob's behalf.

If you like Reggae and want to learn more about the culture and history other than Bob Marley then buy ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A hard time with reggae music
A mine of information about how reggae music rose and developed from ska through roots, up to its decline in the early 80's. Does not cover subsequent evolution to dancehall. Somehow hard to follow for not-English-born readers.
