A História da Música Jamaicana - Parte 1 - MENTO

Em quem você pensa quando se fala em música jamaicana? A maioria, provavelmente, citará os artistas consagrados como Bob Marley, Peter Tosh e Jimmy Cliff, nomes famosos do reggae, que alcançaram a fama mundial nos anos 70, difundindo esse ritmo ao redor do planeta. Ou, ainda, citarão a geração mais atual de músicos do país como Shaggy, Sean Paul e Sean Kingston, mais influenciados pelo rap americano e pela música eletrônica. Mas o que poucos sabem é que essa pequena ilha caribenha de menos de 3 milhões de habitantes é o berço de uma das culturas musicais mais ricas e variadas do mundo. Para expandir o universo musical da galera, segue, abaixo a primeira parte de uma série de cada um dos ritmos surgidos na Jamaica:
(Quem achar que faltou algum, me perdoem, são muitos estilos! Se sim, acrescentaremos em posts futuros)

MENTO – Estilo de música folk cuja origem remonta ao século XIX, a partir da fusão de elementos da musica africana, trazida pelos escravos, e da música européia, trazida pelos colonizadores. Mas foi somente na década de 1950 que o Mento se tornou uma febre, com a gravação dos primeiros LP’s do estilo. Essas gravações também marcaram o nascimento da industria fonográfica na Jamaica. Entre os instrumentos básicos do mento estão: violão; banjo; bongos e marímbula. O Mento guarda semelhanças com o Calypso de Trinidad e Tobago (o original, não o de Joelma e Chimbinha!), talvez devido ao processo parecido de formação da cultura dos países em que os estilos surgiram. Entre os principais artistas do Mento estão: Stanley Beckford, The Jolly Boys, entre outros.

Procurem pelas coletâneas de Mento e Calypso na lista ao lado e conheçam mais!

Nossa intenção é fazer todos terem mais contato com a música e a cultura jamaicana em geral - tanto os que já conhecem e curtem, quanto os que estão se interessando pelo assunto. Por isso, comentem, critiquem, elogiem, interajam. Continuem acompanhando! Até mais.

De volta à ativa!

Salve salve, Rudies and skins!

O blog está voltando à ativa depois de um tempinho parado. A partir de agora, além de downloads de álbuns da Trojan e até de outros selos, vocês vão ler mais textos sobre bandas, artistas, recomendações e resenhas de shows, festivais e posts sobre cultura jamaicana em geral. O primeiro Post dessa nova fase será, na verdade, uma reedição do primeiro post sobre a história da música jamaicana, que fala sobre o MENTO. Junto com ele, vem o que fala do SKA, gênero consagrado pelas lendas jamaicanas Skatalites, que, recentemente, fizeram um show inédito no Circo Voador no Rio de Janeiro. Este, aliás, merece um post separado... Aguardem, até breve!
