What about Reggae? Reggae began in Jamaica-1950 Traveled globally; throughout Africa musicians claim it as their own- Why? Easy to embed African Instruments into traditional tempos Similar to indigenous rhythms and beats Has been the voice of unification, freedom, and revolution United the people especially throughout Kenya and South Africa- Johannesburg.

Reggae Music & African Liberation The linkages between reggae music and African liberation were evident during the Mau Mau struggle against British colonialism in Kenya and South Africa’s Apartheid Era

Mau Mau Kenya

Why Dreadlocks? Mau Mau revolutionaries - ordinary men and women. During movement’s progression, they decided to not cut their hair until Kenya was liberated from the White colonial settlers; photos of these long haired “dreads: reached Jamaica, and quickly the Rastafarian community adopted this form of resistance into their own passionate movement.

Reggae Today Reggae continues to be the music of the oppressed and revolution for men and women all over Africa The lyrics offers hope in the continued African struggle to develop “Mother Africa”.

Reggae in South Africa Bob Marley visited Zimbabwe 1980 for the Independence Celebration Concert- South Africa took notice Africa’s Reggae Icons: Lucky Dube, Alpha Blondy, Tiken Jah all spoke out against Apartheid and other social justice inequalities.

Iconic Songs of Revolution South Africa- Lucky Dube “We cry for peace, perfect peace Lord, we cry for love in this neighbourhood Let me tell you no water can put out this fire Only the lord can save us We cry for peace in South Africa Let me tell you we cry for peace in South Africa”

Alpha Blondy “…America, America, America: I say break the neck of this apartheid. America, America, America: I say break the neck of this apartheid : Nazi war in Europe. Today 1985: Declare our own rights in South Africa. America, America, America: I say break the neck of this apartheid. America, America, America: You've got to break the neck of this apartheid…”

Tiken Jah Afica wants to be free Like a lion in the jungle Africa wants to be free Like a bird in the sky If you don't know if you don't You've got to know Mama Africa is not free Oh oh free ! Oh oh free ! Mama Africa wants to be free When I'm talking about freedom I'm talking about economical Freedom When I'm talking about freedom I'm talking about political freedom If you don't know yet if you don't You've got to know Mama Africa is not free Oh oh free !
