Caribbean Music Slides From BCC Dance CourseStefan Walcott
Caribbean music developed from the blending of West African and European musical traditions and influences. It incorporates elements like call-and-response vocals, polyrhythms, and emphasis on drums from Africa as well as melody, harmony, and other elements from Europe. Caribbean music can be categorized as folk, stemming from early plantation and colonial-era music made by communities, or popular modern styles influenced by American popular music that are associated with professional musicians and the music industry. Popular genres include calypso, salsa, reggaeton, zouk, kompas, chutney, and dancehall, each with their own associated dances.
The document discusses the work song and Negro spiritual genres of music that developed among enslaved Africans and African Americans. It notes that work songs were the first music created by Black Americans, founded on African principles and sung during field work. Work songs were unaccompanied and involved solo and response singing. Negro spirituals emerged from work songs but incorporated Christian references and themes of deliverance. They became more complex musically and lyrically over time. Both genres reflect the blending of African and American influences and provided an outlet of expression for the enslaved.
The document summarizes the origins and characteristics of blues music that developed after the emancipation of slaves in the American South. It notes that blues flourished in the post-emancipation period, featuring a solo guitarist and singer. The blues utilized a simple portable instrumental setup of guitar and harmonica to allow transient artists to perform. The standard blues form that developed involved a 12-bar structure consisting of 3 lines over 4 bars each, using dominant 7th chords and a repetitive I-IV-V chord progression. Blues lyrics reflected the new social conditions of hardship, relationships, and sexuality in a standardized English language.
Radio became a widespread household item in the 1930s, capable of broadcasting music to large audiences over long distances. This led to the rise of big bands playing jazz in large performance halls and ballrooms to accommodate larger audiences. Pioneers like Fletcher Henderson and Benny Goodman led influential big bands that explored the instrumentation possibilities of large ensembles. Benny Goodman in particular gained massive popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, helping spark the Swing Era where big band jazz conquered global musical expression.
Ragtime originated in the late 19th century African American community through the use of syncopated rhythms and patterns derived from traditions like juba dancing. It first spread as sheet music and piano rolls before the recording industry. Key composers like Scott Joplin developed the classic ragtime style with standard forms and structures. Ragtime featured syncopation, treble melodies, and bass lines in the left hand. It grew in popularity in the early 20th century as it assimilated into mainstream music and was performed in homes and concerts.

Rock developed with guitar innovators like Jimi Hendrix introducing new textures that opened the door for explorations in the 1970s.
New Orleans had a unique cultural makeup that influenced the development of jazz. As a port city with French, Spanish, African, and American influences, it featured musical traditions like Congo Square performances and brass bands. The mixing of formally trained Creole musicians with freedmen in post-Civil War New Orleans led to a blending of ragtime, blues, and technical skills that became known as "jass." Key artists like Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Morton helped establish early jazz in New Orleans before its spread to northern cities.

Miles Davis was a highly influential jazz trumpeter who introduced modal jazz in the 1950s, moving away from bebop's rapid chord changes. His 1959 album "Kind of Blue" featuring John Coltrane pioneered this new modal approach. John Coltrane further developed modal jazz in the 1960s with albums like "A Love Supreme" that featured extended improvisation outside of the standard harmonic modes. Ornette Coleman introduced "free jazz" in the 1960s which emphasized group interplay and expression over traditional harmony.

The document summarizes the origins and development of jazz music in the 1920s. It discusses how the Great Migration led many African Americans to move from the rural South to northern cities like Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Philadelphia. In these cities, rent parties featuring boogie woogie piano styles emerged. Technological advances also helped spread jazz, with Thomas Edison developing the phonograph in 1877 and early jazz recordings by bands like the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Louis Armstrong significantly innovated jazz in the 1920s through his melodic and rhythmic style and approach to improvisation. However, some saw jazz as a corrupting influence associated with the underclass.
This document defines and discusses several jazz genres:
- Fusion emerged in the late 1960s from Miles Davis' rock-inspired albums incorporating electric instruments. Notable fusion artists included Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, and Herbie Hancock.
- Smooth jazz developed in the late 1970s and is heavily melodic, drawing from blues and R&B. Pioneers included Grover Washington Jr. and his influential album "Winelight".
- Fusion can also refer more broadly to any blending of jazz with other styles, such as reggae fusion from Arturo Tappin and calypso fusion from Andre Woodvine.
Be-bop emerged in the 1940s as a movement led by musicians like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie to reclaim African American music from commercial popularity. They introduced highly technical, chromatic melodies and complex reharmonization over chord changes. Be-bop featured small groups playing at fast tempos with an innovative drumming style, though it did not achieve widespread popularity and came to be seen as an art music form. Its influence continues to be felt in jazz education globally.
The document discusses the evolution of Dancehall music in Jamaica from the late 1970s onward. It describes how toasting emerged as a popular practice at Dancehall parties, where DJs would vocalize over dub and instrumental sections of songs. This toasting was then recorded, creating the new Dancehall genre. The genre is characterized by being rhythm-focused with less emphasis on melody, and lyrics that are often bawdy in nature. Technological advances like lower-cost sound systems and new instruments like synthesizers further propelled the rise of Dancehall.
The steel pan originated in Trinidad from bands that used bamboo instruments called tamboo bamboo bands. As bamboo proved too fragile, metal instruments like oil drums and biscuit tins were used instead to create louder, more durable sounds. By the 1940s, the steel pan had evolved into its current form with different pitched notes and Spree Simon and Ellie Mannette pioneered the ping pong lead pan. In the 1950s, the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra was formed and helped organize the steel pan movement, led today by Pan Trinbago. The annual Panorama competition began in 1946 and showcases large steel bands with talented arrangers. Over time, the steel pan has spread globally while continuing to
Reggae music evolved from earlier Jamaican genres like mento and ska. In the 1940s, sound systems played American R&B and jazz music to attract patrons in Kingston, and this eventually became the main entertainment. In the 1960s, producers like Coxsone Dodd and Prince Buster began experimenting with accentuating the offbeat in the music, which helped define the ska genre. Ska gained popularity in Jamaica and abroad. Rocksteady emerged in the late 1960s with slower tempos and prominent electric bass. This eventually evolved into reggae in the late 1960s, characterized by slower tempos, new studio effects, and prominence of Rastafari ideology and Jamaican drumming styles.
The cherry: beauty, softness, its heart-shaped plastic has inspired artists since Antiquity. Cherries and strawberries were considered the fruits of paradise and thus represented the souls of men.
