- Moderated by Scott Goldman, Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares, this conversation explored the history of reggae and featured GRAMMY-winning reggae artist Ziggy Marley, Jamaican reggae singer and Nyabinghi drummer Ras Michael, Lloyd "Bread" McDonald of Jamaican reggae vocal group The Wailing Souls, and Carlton "Santa" Davis, who played drums for bands including Bob Marley & The Wailers. The panelists discussed a range of topics, including early Jamaican pop music, the creation of reggae as a genre and its early pioneers, and its continued evolution with increasing politically charged lyrics reflecting the social injustices happening in Jamaica.

Carlton Santa Davis is so charismatic, could listen to him all day. Thanks for sharing.
You can't learn this at any university. This is an awesome discussion with knowledge people.
What a surprise to see Ras Michael there. Glad that he's still alive. So many of those I met in JA between 78 and 86 have died...
Thank you Jamaican legends for giving us REGGAE...with love from the world 🇰🇪
I love how Ziggy Marley talks about the true origin of Jamaican music which is New Orleans! Listen to 13:00 🇺🇸🇯🇲🇰🇪
@@Jah_Nzola please listen to all speakers in context... new orleans music influenced the evolution of reggae music but is not 'the true origin of Jamaican music'
😊😊
This here was a true gem. What a valuable interview, with weighty individuals. Please, yes, part two soon ! Maaad respect to each and everyone participate
Dionysis G 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Uuùùp
God bless these men and God bless Jamaica for this gift to humanity of reggae!
Deep respect to all the artist and musicians on stage one love👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
First In Jamaica to have Radio Station seem humble be Blessed wont say more
When u get angry about too much Bob Marley just remember: rebel music, soul rebel, splish for my splash, exodus, talking blues, so so many hits too numerous to mention. Bob deserves all the memories.
Modern day Prophet he was.
Bob is very special in a class by himself
The biggest singer in the world
Forever loving jah natural mystic crazy baldheads top ranking zion train chant down Babylon war ambush in the night blackman redemption the heathen is the ghetto music from Bob Marley and the Wailers
Bob never wrote those songs who educate you about our culture u fool people wrote for bob and he did over poems and other peoples words bob don’t write get it correctly
Peter Tosh the true legend of reggae Music and the real king . Man of truth
Shalom brethren
Bro he was a hater of his brethren bob. U have no idea. And king of reggae ur joking.
Stepping Razor
TOSH never sold out
The Grammy's and Scott Goldman did a job well done with this one! The host hit the nail on the head when he said that "we're just scratching the surface this time", but how many years before a part 2 surfaces? Also, I think the format needs to be adjusted but I'll leave that to the producers of the show. Thanks again for saluting this great music and its devotees.

Big up di Ancestors and special thanks to Peter Tosh in particular.
When i click on this no 1 could tell me i watch until the end. Man this is a lot of information jah bless 1love
I love reggae especially Peter Tosh
Damn , R.I.P
When the Host said "and most notably" ( referring to Santa Davis ) it was only natural that he said PETER TOSH. Santa was such a big part of Tosh's music, such an oversight is inexcusable.......another awahdibumboklaaaaaat moment!
Why is its Some of you are here with Negative Comments these guy are great Singers in 🇯🇲 jam back in those days. Even before i was Born , growing up as a teenager i use to listen to Some of these great Singers music playing on the Radio , Peter Tosh , Bob Marley , Bob Handy , Gregory Issac. Dennis Brown , and many others. I Love our 🇯🇲 jam Ragged music ,,,,Bob take 🇯🇲 jamaica Ragged music through out the world ,,,if Some one ask you where you from and and your answer is 🇯🇲 jam. The first person Name them mention is Bob Marley and he or She Can tell you the Song. they like. Bob Marley travel the World. The whole World Love him , his Song is the message for the world. ,,Gone but Never forgotten. Music lives on forever. RIP Bob
Incredible video! Thank you!
Pray the American Music Hall of Fame for Afro-Centric Music keep this interview for future generations. I recognize every band and music style they referenced and I have never been to Jamaica.
This was very educational. I learned so much from this video. Grateful for the upload.👊🏿⭐❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲▶️▶️▶️▶️
great to hear Lloyd get a chance to tell some of his story. would love to see quality docs done on wailing souls as well as burning spear.
It all begins with Mento.....Bob Andy is to me the most respected Artist of Reggae
Peter Macintosh's guitar playing and influence with the Wailers was key to their success... He did not love the 'Lovey dovey' music (Lovers rock) rather he sought the music to evoke awareness and change.
Yes! TOSH has no space for BS...he was about Mass Mass Revolutionary awareness and blackman consciousness
Lovers rock is the best. No I know why peter tosh music is my least favorite of the 3 wailers.

You didn't listen. The man said he is a founding member of the group "the melody makers"....which he is.

That Was a wonderful watch.

An amazing overview of our Jamaican reggae starting from ska and rocksteady which I loved to dance to in the old days - blessings to our entertainers to continue flying the flag for Jamaica - home of reggae which is not international!
If you want to know where it all started google Roscoe Gordon.
Outernational... Much classic reggae recorded &/or mixed in London/Jamdon. Babylon is/was in the hearts of the wicked 'pon Earth. Zion is amongst I & I Love & Peace.

Awesome segment! Love 💘 💓 💓
The Duke Reid/ treasure isle produced song, ''I'm in the mood for love'' by the techniques was 2 and an half minutes long, I always remember cause the song was so sweet, I always wanted it to last a little longer.
Wow 😳😳 nice to see the brothers coming together. Very, very, very much happy and appreciated guys
Blessings this is great. Jah live.
Listening to these guys they are missing out on a lots of things, Duke Reid is playing music long before Coxene. Before ska it was mento long before all the other music fraternity in Jamaica, he missing out on a lots of things. Alton Ellis is singing from the 1950s, long before Derrick Morgan, and Prince Buster. The song he was talking about by Derrick Morgan hey you fat man in the 1960s, I remembered when it was released. Because my step father did have a sound system, and I useto operating it.I have been around a very long time ago, Desmond Dekker and the aces, Roy Shirley, Slim Smith, The Kingstonians, John Holt, I know a few of them who started to sing. In the late 1960s Ken Boothe,Ken Parker,Dobby Dobson, Larry Marshall, Justine Hinds, Jimmy Cliffs, Bob Andy,Horace Andy,and a few more singers which I did not got the time to mention.
What about Lynn Taitt?
U know what you are saying u r perfectly right well said 👏 👍 👌
loved watching this, fascinating stuff
Without reggae we would not have hip hop !
That’s what the masses around the world 🌍 need 2 recognise especially mainstream listeners
and without Jazz, Ska wouldnt have been created then reggae wouldnt have been created.
Hip hop is James brown music dick head the ideas of hip hop come from black Americans dance to a A certain part of the beat
@@washonmontgomery946 I think its important that we celebrate and recognise the mixture of talent and give value to each other the fact we compliment and influence each other I've read these comments before about who started what and its a bit counterproductive. Its like saying there was no Haitians Jamaican African Americans united in the success of the Caribbean rebellion which extended to America. Its like saying there were no slaves traffikked through the slave triangle all over the place eg from America to Jamaica who are now Jamaicans Haitians Bajions etc (and that's another part of history with the originals ) etc. The fact is I personally hope that when it clicks and we all eventually understand or accept get together we are the most creative coveted and copied people on the planet we are stronger more creative together than we are apart.

@@sarahthompson1372 my problem is that some Jamaican try to twist history for instance Kool herc documentary said that he got the 2 turntable mixer from the disco dj what spark the ideas of hiphop is that black Americans dance to curtain part of the beat know as Today as the break beat and hip hop is James brown music
Everyone should get into this music it's are history from the mother land Africa we all need to really learn more about it it's beautiful music from the heart.
Rasta got Soul!!!!!
I remember Bobby Aitken he was a good guitarist very good, jamaicans young musicians teacher, he taught me and many good musicians.
Remember Hortence Ellis,
Absolutely brilliant
Educational interview I must say. I get excited when I hear of these artists and their contribution to d history of d reggae music. Ras Micheal is a great friend of mine and the drum is still my favorite musical instrument as it sends a message on its own. More Love.
Bless up, Family!

I wonder why nobody never mentioned Mento Musical Influence in Jamaica which has been there since the 40’s. It would be greatly appreciated if a Mention is available just for Respect. Thanks.
thank you! no mention of mento?? answers tailored for the audience...lol
These young youth needs to listen to this show to tell them what reggae music is all about because their are changing the reggae music
I cannot comprehend how none of the Panelists even mentioned "Lee Scratches Perry" who was influential in guiding Bob Marley and the wailers into what we now call "Roots Rock Reggae".. the slowed down beat. But there are Videos (That I have in my collection) whereby he goes into detail about that.
They did.
Lee Scratches Perry Ernest Ranglin Peter Macintosh's King Tubby, Prince Jammy? Scientist? Lee Scratch Perry? McWoner? Kiddus I? Junior Byles. Start museum in Jamanica dont wait for someone else before the history is gone
100% but he also screwed bob too with money ect

There was only one Bob Marley, don’t hate he’s in the same conversation with the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, he is beloved in America, African, Europe, Japan and the rest of Asia.
Ziggy up there with his elders how wonderful
the Child of a POP STAR with reggae elders ,
I’m trying to count the number of time Bob Marley is mentioned in this discussion. I’m naming Culture, Burning Spear, Bob Andy.
Apple from Israel Vibration, Dennis Brown... they said it is just the beginning so let's see!
Peter tosh
Sir.Burning Spears👍👍😍
Peter Tosh, Joseph Hill, Bunny Wailer ❤️💛💚🖤
The biggest problem with the current music scene in Jamaica is a lack of leadership and focus.
Got tears in my eyes the youth of today should be learning from these great spiritual men give me spirituality all day long that materialistic vibe ain’t real it is worrying but I’m still optimistic because is spirit
part 2 should be done for sure in Jamaica 2023
Imagine, even Santa, is now know as Bob's drummer. What about his years of playing with Peter, I can tell they went above and beyond to deny Peter.
yes I remember Santa drumming in Tosh’s excellent band when they performed in Sydney around 1985
@@gostrum1 guy p7
Is it like a racist thing you think?
Peter tosh is the king much better and talented than Bob Marley.
The reality of life is Bob was on another level in music,he was really,really,talented,he not only overshadow tosh,but every reggae artist of his time,its like comparing george foreman to Mohammed Ali,or any boxer of that time to Ali,Ali was loud,he came with his own style and he interacted with his fans deeply to the point of giving them a sense of belonging,a sense of purpose,it was not only"music now",it was a revolution,every artist knew this and let Bob shine until he was bowed from the stage,Bob gave these reggae artist a platform,not only to sing reggae but perform it,he literally advertised reggae for them,now they are harvesting the exposure.
Much appreciation to panel for their their attempt to take us along a journey through the evolution of Jamaican music. Well done. Just an observation - I did not hear any mention of mento or kumina and just to point out that some of the music that is now classified as 'dance hall' utilizes elements of that african kumina beat in their rhythms.
Mention was also made of Alpha Boys school as a great training ground. I believe also that recognition should also be given to the sterling work being done at the Edna Manley College for the Visual and Performing Arts where some eminent musicians Dwight Pinkney (guitarist with the Bunny Wailer Reggestra and founding member of ZapPow of which Beres Hammond was a part), Cedric 'Im' Brooks, Ibo Cooper, Myrna Hague, to name a few have been helping to nurture talent with immense success. Ragin Fyah comes to mind as a product of Edna Manley. Many touring Jamaican artistes today have Edna Manley trained musicians as part of their outfit.
Most of all I love the pride with which the panelists speak of our musical heritage and the fact that it has been a community experience right from the start. Nuff Love and Respec'.
yes ras , i see what yuh mean, but they only have so much time also, i think them kida give a more all around answer, cause if them ago through the whole lineage of the reggae music startin, them haffi be there 30hours more fi explain di whole ting that go bout...

Davis work for Tosh too but you failed to mention that.Tosh the most underrated.Big up Peter Tosh RIP True Rastaman
I think they deliberatly left out that santa davis played in Tosh Band, when Peter got shot Santa Davis drove any leave all of them who got shot also
Peter Tosh probably pushed the boat out more on reggae than anyone else. Maybe why he's not such a 'classic reggae' artist. Very deep was Peter Tosh. And always have the sense that he lived it.
Black supremacy is what white boys underestimate
Fully agree....he’s a punk, he just shame because he left Peter to die...

A problem with Jamaican music is the Bob Marley effect. We keep talking about Bob Marley and applaud his massive talent, but nobody is willing to follow his example.
Bob neva had no dammmm talent he never wrote people wrote for him
@@shawnrichards1393 you talk crap. Get informed or keep still.
Ok ok, bob was the first media driven superstar, but to me he wasn't really the best singer, he was just the one who spread the word throughout the world first. I saw the circus but in reality, It didn't do much to influence me. He had a look that made im stand out with sort of white facial features, that might have drawn people to look into jamaican roots more closely. I don't think if he looked like a full on african he would have become so popular, but remember there were so many people coming to the fore at that time and they were becoming a force albeit low key compared to bob's populatity.
@@shawnrichards1393 What a ridiculous comment.
They where the blueprint to Rasta music(u will here their mark in all R music forever.) One Love

Was reading the comments while listening to this interview... For the Grammy's to have a reggae wing is impressive enough but people have to understand that those not spoken of were mostly too controversial. Reggae started as black power Jamaican spiritual music.... The Grammy's isn't going to get that revolutionary!
No..Reggae did not just magically "start." It is a genre that TRANSITIONED, over time to become distinctive enough from its previous form to be a related but seperate genre. Call it an evolution even. While yes, Reggae was more political than previous incarnations..it was a gradual addition to the flow of many ingredients dating back to the the Jamaican music scene just prior to the formation Reggaes's direct ancestor....straight down the line - SKA! You DID watch the program..just didn't grasp it? They explain in a fairly concise way how Reggae is basically Ska that's changed gradually over the decades..yet retained the basic "Ska blueprint" enough to recognize the connection to its ancestor of direct lineage that is as simple as this - So just prior to the 1950's due to a lack of music venues ...you know what ..not gettingtl that detailed explaingvsoneting that I guess you just didnt grasp.. make connection..orvj7st zoned out or oblivious to? So badically in a nutshell...in the early 50's Jamaica's version of the Caribbean folk music called Calypso ...or Mento as the Jamaican's called is the main ingredient and driving force..the "soul" of Reggae - what you would find at it's heart after all the layers are stripped away. Influenced by US music genres picked up on the radio for years as well as some Cuban Jazz influence. When Elements of Rhythm And Blues, Swing, Jazz and a sprinkling ofvesrkycRock and Roll, from the US and a bit of Cuban jazz from...yep - Cuba were added to or assimilated ("you will be assimilated, resistance is futile! LMFAO..LOL.GET IT..LIKE THE BORG..OH NEVERMIND) into Mento..with an emphasis on percussion - although NOT A MUST! A more distinct "bluebeat" that can be traced back to Mento in a bit more crude and less developed way was honed and although slowed d iui wn from its Ska days is easily the
most recognized connective thread linking Reggae to its past Ska forefather!" So you take Mento blend in other musical styles from regional areas - Ska is the outcome! Slow Ska down one EXTREMELY hot Sumner go prevent overheating..or heat exhaustion and the result is Rocksteady or slowed down Ska. Adding more US Soul and Motown in the process until around 1969 when slowed down Ska .or Rocksteady as the hipsters called it eased off the soul and Motown influences but not entirely, all the while a progression into more political and local issues took place, the bacbeat or bluebeat picked up speed again but not as fast as its Ska past. And percussion, while never abandoned was used a bit more than its Rocksteady days but still not the emphasis it was used in Ska. The gradual addition of Rastafarian elements and influence was the most significant addition and enough for the justification of the namechange from Rocksteady into what we think of as "Classic Reggae" around1969- 70.

Love all of these bredren but The Wailing Souls are one of my favorites. Where's Pipe?!? Haha..
I love how Ziggy Marley talks about the true origin of Jamaican music which is New Orleans! Listen to 13:00
Thank him for that 💯
I would say the origins of Jamaican music is within Jamaica it self. We give thanks for external musical influences globally from the U.S. & other countries for example. It's the people within J.A. them self who created those unique sounds. Jamaica's out of many one people play's a major part within Jamaican music evolution...Africans, Indians, Chinese, Lebanese JAMAICAN'S as well as Europeans all played a part. In addition musicians from Cuba, Trinidad & other countries contributed to Jamaican music.
@@jahlincoln3618 I agree, to integrate elements from other places is excellent but to say that Jamaicans are not the creators of reggae music is a little bit foolhardy, please forgive the indiscretion in wording.
@@terencedrakes5291 You may have misunderstood my reasoning. JAMAICANS are the CREATORS of REGGAE/JAMAICAN MUSIC period. I'm not sure where you are from or reside, but if your a Jamaican you should know J.A. motto is 'Out of many one people'. Jamaica population a mix of African, Indian, Chinese, Middle East & European, although Africans make up the majority... Its that fusion & mix of people within J.A. that has created the evolutionary sounds of Jamaican music. Similarly Jamaican FOOD/CUISINE has gone through a evolutionary process, & that is down to the mix of people within Jamaica. Although the internal demographic population of Jamaica today is different to what it use to be due to mass migration out of J.A... As I said we give thanks for the external musical influences globally but Jamaicans created those unique genres we call J.A. music from Mento, ska, Rock Steady, Reggae, Dub, Roots, Dancehall etc etc etc which has made its way into other genres of music globally...
They acknowledge that reggae/ska artists were influenced by African American music. I’ve heard that before. My Jamaican Mom talks about listening to singers like Fats Domino and Louis Armstrong as well as groups like The Platters.
The lyrics madness started from around 40 years and growing. It is easier to build strong youths that to repair broken people. But today songs make youths become killers
The track that Sly played the flying cymbals on, I believe, was Tit For Tat, the flip side of Al Brown's Here I Am Baby.
they never talk about Jimmy Cliff my Brother
They did
I saw Jimmy cliff perform last year at mad stock in london what a fantastic gig was trying to explain the rude boy influence from film the harder they come his message was to state the corruption that occurred and the
and how the American rude boys took over in Jamaica as a sign to be bad was good they completely misread the signs instead of listening to the lyrics and getting the understanding with the ethics and poverty in the Caribbean message he did not to lead that life but became the boom but he was not happy after filming the soundtrack and film although excellent for me as I child being inquisitive about this film it bought a different type of problem to Jamaica that wasn't expecting that I feel this film was the first stereotype that blackspoiltation film I was aware of I learnt a lot from this and how to keep myself out of trouble I wish other people could be on my level to be a true word lyric and opinion I am so out of date as I'm well out of touch x
Is Jimi cliff really your brother wow x
because out of Jamaica! Jimmy cliff is more Recognize than in Jamaica as an artist
So true that the younger generation has lost its respect for those who came before them. That’s a huge loss for the current reggae scene.
Why do they neglect the figure of Peter Tosh?
No they didn't not with santos
Ubirajara Santos I agree.
They didn't neglect it, it just didn't come up
So many great Jamaican musicians, DJ’s & producers
My favorite.,. Talking blues by Bob, Feel no way by the Sharp Razor, To the dance rock by Jah B.....still olla dem di waillers.
These are four very wise men, especially Ras Michael, I am a little disappointed though, that they didn't say anything about the Keyboard Maestro Jackie Mittoo, director of Studio one recording session, he was very instrumental in carving out reggae music, the first change I can remember ''slowing up the beat'' I heard was a song named ''Nanny Goat'' ''THINGS AH COME UP TO BUMP''coming out studio One, there was also ''Take it Easy'' by Hopeton Lewis, Toots created the Name Ragga Ragga Music turned to Reggae ''not the music, just the name, a lot of the music in Jamaica is now done by sequencing, using the computer, devoid of the human element, the popular music now there, is dancehall spoilt by envious competition, and downright vulgarity,, these men didn't want to say it, for they are being diplomatic, however there are good reggae music still being recorded by people like Protoje, Chronnixx, Mortimer etc. and a host of young females Koffee, Sevana, Lila Ike, Jamila Falak, Jah9 among others, I thoroughly enjoyed this symposium and looking forward to Pt two.
Truth my brother s
Love the vibe s
Brilliant..and interesting opinions in the comments section
Reggae was there long before Bob Marley, of course but it's the marketing genius of Chris Blackwell that made Bob the poster child for Reggae. What we do have to credit Bob for is the positive message that hit home with so many people around the globe. It's also nice to see that Bob Marley left quite a musical legacy with his children.
Alan Steward Chris marketed bob Marley for the white audience it has nothing to do with what you’re saying.
@@LADYG-gl1jx Chris did promote Reggae to mostly young white people some of whom were also Rock fans. That strategy was genius...nothing wrong with it. Even today those are the same set of people who support our music the most financially.
@@ub6928 but Bob didn’t want white people at his concerts. He would get angry and upset when white people would turn up to his concerts because he only wanted black people to be there because his message was for black people. His band members have confirmed this and ziggy has even confirmed this.
Bob later worded his lyrics in a way that if anyone felt his message pertained to their own struggles then it could even though the message was for the redemption black people and the black struggle. E.g. He didn’t directly write about not wanting anything to do with politicians but he would write “we no have no friends inna high society” -band members have said that Bob would choose his lyrics very carefully because he didn’t want to get involved in anything that he didn’t need to.
Bob only started to go to foreign producers when black producers would not pay him royalties after many years in Jamaica. But even his white producers have said that bob didn’t trust any foreigners especially white people because they were also known for stealing; he only classed himself as a black man and only felt comfortable making music with black people.
When Rita was trying to make her own music with another record company from France bob warned her and told her not to make music with white people because they would steal her company and to keep anything she done within the family meaning black race.
Bob also said on many interviews that it hurts to give his money to a white man knowing that he’s writing songs about slavery, liberation of Africans and being a proud African and Rasta because white people take his money, don’t care about his struggle as a black man, steal money from him and treat black people bad still. He said it’s like he backstabbed his own people for white people which he didn’t like and that’s why he later went back to a black producer.
So, I guess Bob who classed himself as a proud black man who wanted to live in Africa and unite black people, Bring black people forward to the motherland first before uniting other races as he said himself in many interviews that Africa was the forefront of his life and that was his identity. You have to understand that Bob had to make money somehow if only whites were selling out his concerts. I would say Bob definitely played the game right and fooled the crowd and so have his family.
@@ub6928 that’s a very big issue as not a lot of white people actually understand bobs message. They only know “one love” and “three little birds” & start to love Rastas and Jamaica and think we’re all accepting of them when we’re really not. This was bobs issue as well as he wanted to promote his music to black people but didn’t get to because Chris Blackwell only wanted his music to be promoted to white people which which is why Bob would get annoyed. Please understand that Black people need bobs message more than ever now and Chris Blackwell knew what he was doing because he did not want blacks to come together and unite. Bob realised later on what Chris was doing and that’s why he got a black Jamaican manager later on.
@@LADYG-gl1jx true but Bob had a bigger vision. He wanted the world not just white people
