The Dancehall Archive and Research Initiative join

The Dancehall Archive and Research Initiative joins the global dancehall massive, and the wider music fraternity in celebration of the highly anticipated online clash @verzuztv between Beenie Man and Bounti Killer two of dancehall’s most successful lyrical gladiators.
The art of lyrical gladiatorship, the Clash, in Jamaican dancehall culture, is the consummate display of lyrical prowess, skill and dexterity. Mirrored in sound system clashes, clashes between dancers and so on,, the highest point is the “tune fi tune” clash between two artistes where each must respond on cue, to the lyrical volleys and jabs from his opponent. Dancehall artiste, like Beenie Man, Bounti Killer, Ninjaman and others who rise to the top are crowned as supreme lyrical gladiators and enjoy unparalleled fame and adulation from their fans. As the clash unfolded on stages like Sting, Sunsplash or Sumfest, hardcore dancehall fans revelled in the cathartic display of lyrical violence and delighted in unleashing their own inflammatory and incendiary responses. Gun fingers, lighters, firecrackers, screams of assent and shouts of adulation usually accompany the well-placed rejoinder or volley from an artiste. Tonight’s online stage is primed for explosion. “Peooooople deddddd” #jamaica🇯🇲 #Jamaicanculture #reggae #dancehall #reggae #hiphop #clash #battle #lyrics #gladiator #dancehallarchive #hardcore #music

Millie Small, a true trailblazer in Jamaican popular music and culture has passed at the age of 73, following a stroke last weekend. Millie Small, the Queen of Ska, is renowned for recording the first international music hit to ever come out of Jamaica with her ska hit, My Boy Lollipop under the guidance of Chris Blackwell. She also represented for Jamaica and Ska at the World’s Fair in New York in 1964, when Jamaican Ska, Jamaica’s first international music form, was introduced to the world. A true ambassador for Jamaican music and culture, Small’s unique voice, talent, poise and charisma both on and off stage endeared her to her fans globally.

Repost from @irpbooks:- AVAILABLE ON KINDLE: Man V

Repost from @irpbooks:- AVAILABLE ON KINDLE: Man Vibes: Masculinities in the Jamaican Dancehall by Donna P. Hope 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 In Jamaica, dancehall music and culture has become perhaps the most prominent expression of Jamaican popular culture. Taking its name from dance halls in which popular local recordings were played by sound systems, the concept of Dancehall as a cultural space has rapidly gained momentum in the last three decades as deejay stars enjoy unprecedented successes locally and internationally.
Donna Hope builds on her earlier work on popular culture and theories of sexuality/gender to examine the process and progress of Jamaican masculinities. Man Vibes: Masculinities in Jamaican Dancehall explores Jamaican masculinity through the male-dominated dancehall space that is at once a celebration of the marginalized poor and also a challenge to social inequality. Using the major masculine debates that are articulated in dancehall music and culture, Hope explores the transition of Jamaican masculinity in the 21st century. The dancehall representations of Ole Dawg (promiscuity), Badman (violence), Chi Chi Man (anti-male homosexuality), Bling Bling (consumerist/consumptive) and Fashion Ova Style (stylized transgressions and homosexuality) are all used to evaluate the relationship between dancehall culture and the hegemonic standard of masculine. Man Vibes significantly advances the Cultural Studies agenda and acts as a contemporary reader by speaking not only to dancehall music and culture’s masculinities but to Jamaican and Black masculinities in general.
