Reggae is loved worldwide because it lifts your vibrational frequency to a higher level than other music. Most people don't realise this but when you listen to it that is what it is doing. There are 9 core frequencies that define the world and music was a 432 Hz frequency. When you listen to reggae at 432Hz it lifts your vibrational frequency. They changed the frequency to 440hz with lots of different types of music as they know it influences your mood negatively and can make people think negatively and violently. Every living thing has a vibrational frequency. Find out more about this for yourself as knowledge is power.
Yes, always have love for Japan because they always care about the Foundation, Roots and Culture coming from Jamaica. In facts, they will have more Sound Systems because they very big on engineering which made Ska, Roots, Rocksteady, Reggae and Dancehall. Yes, every thing have to do with engineering and the Asain specialized in being a perfectionist.
You see you, you good!! Proper research, supported with photos, vintage footage and especially your passion for the genre. Keep it up!👍🏽 Continued blessings from JAH💯. watching in St Lucia 🇱🇨
Thank you for a great video. Garnet Silk did shows in Japan. I'd love to see video footage of Garnet live in Japan. There are some great J-Reggae artists, Pushim, Machaco, Pang, Minmi, Dry & Heavy, Ranking Taxi.. Reggae & Japan :)
More sound systems in Japan than Jamaica, wow, I had no idea reggae was that big there. They must have flipped when Jimmy Cliff actually showed up in person after being influenced by The Harder They Come! You can tell from the first Japanese reggae albums how much The Wailers crew helped them out. I have seen some reggae from Japan on RU-vid and it is really good. This video shows the universal appeal to reggae music that started in Jamaica. I see playing reggae as an art, and is always good to learn more about Reggae! Super rad video and love the style and approach. Life Bless!
And that's not all. A couple of years ago or so, Reggae has been formerly and officially endorsed by the United Nations (thru its affiliate: UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Fund) as a World Cultural Heritage.....
Germany have deep connection with sound systems cars and bananas also teaching in JA.. I know dreads who were taught mechanical engineering from Germans one reason we like bnw and benz
Both countries with deep imperial backgrounds.....Black unity and anti-colonism should be prioritised not the celebration of perceived acceptance through entertainment that gives the latter more opportunity and reinforces their fragile self esteem. A true ally would not be threatened of this as this will empower the people this impacts in a positive way so why isnt this happening? Its because black unity is a threat while unity amongst other cultures is accepted. Reggae is based on Rastafarism just like Bushido of Japanese culture. Can a black man embrace Japanese culture and be accepted in the same manner? They are currently being sketchy around the existence of the first foreign samurai who is a freed slave of African descent named Yasuke. Japan has embraced so much of black culture outside of just Reggae but will never fully accept the people. Im one for equality and exchange of culture but how long shall this disparity be accepted while we still sing "One Love"?
I feel Almighty Crown should have had a mention. They are featured in the video but not mentioned by name. Also feel Sugar Minot's tour could have been mentioned. But great video as always
Because when the Japanese embrace something, they do it right and with a passion to preserve what came before. Take a look at their Latin American Salsa bands. They don’t play! They are serious at emulating what came before!
Reggae is popular in Japan because Reggae artists get paid in full, I’ve lived in Japan and Japanese people do not bargain if you are selling something for ¥100 they will give you what you are asking for, it’s considered rude asking for a discount. In the late 90s Burning Spear came over to Japan with a lot of merchandise cds, t shirts, posters, arts and crafts everything was sold out before the show started.
When the Japanese were defeated in WW2, they collectively set about restoring 'face'. Companies introduced company songs, company exercises, etc. to build up what had been lost. The progam went a little too far and it was realized that the Japanese no longer knew how to relax. A search was done to see what country could help them unwind. And you guessed it - Jamaica! Companies sent employees to Japan and hotels in Jamaica even sent staff to Japan to learn Japanese as the market was growing. This movement may have aided the introduction of reggae to Japan.
Blessings RAS. can you do one about reggae in Hawaii? Barack Obama is the only African Hawaiian that doesn't like it. Lol but😢. But fo all us other local bradas n sistas, it's our life. They call it Jahawaiian. ❤💛❤️✌️🤙
@@gangstapage1779 cuz yous a punk as gayngsta like his friend jayz. Barry dissed "pot smoking hippies ". He's a liar. He stands for gay rights not Equal Rights. Plus he went to Punahou high. That's where haoles go to high school. Remember, Hawaii national guardsmen can stomp any gayngstalicious like you. Rasklaat
There are even Shintō tempke monks that own / operate their own soundsystems. And our favourite plant has a long history intertwined with cultural values and shintō rituals in Japan.
@@buddhaboy- And in Korea too, but that is/was not the point... affects/effects of criminality/legality is an entirely separate discussion and compared to it’s historical context, is a fairly recent figment of mass delusion by the powers that be.
Did some of the Japansplash tours…the Ochai brothers use to do them n then they split n did separate tours….the artistes I worked with were signed to Sony, so being in their Sony’s motherland’ , the company was very welcoming n generous…did a show on Iwo Jima….have lovely pictures of the Koi lake n the Koi fish in it…the lake was adjacent to where the concert was held….the shows were always jammed…..they really love the music…..
🔥🔥👍🏽Big up for your work about reggae music un Japan. 🙏🏽Please give us the n’aime of music playing under this video. This sound is fulfilled good vibes and joy.
It should be noted that the producer of, The Harder They Come, was a white Jamaican who mortgaged his house to see it made. Indian and Chinese Jamaicans contribute mightily to the culture and economy. Pushing us all to a better world requires all hands on deck. Big up everyone for out of many...
I am a Catholic and Fernando was my 1st Japanese and Mexican friend and I have had a lot of interest in Japan 🇯🇵 and Reggae and I went to Jamaica 🇯🇲 to see Ziggy Marley and I saw Bob Marleys house and Rita Marley and Haile-Selassie went to Jamaica to GOD 🦁⛪️💻🌍!
Japan and the UK embraced reggae and helped create an evolution which became Jungle. Under My Sleng Ting is a great example of this. Bigup!!! Bless!!! ❤💛💚
When black Americans see their culture in various parts of the world they say its influence. When they see other black culture being embraced they say its culture appropriation and we should do something about it🤦🏾♂️
I met some Japanese brothers in Yokohama, who obtained the blueprints for the Jah Shaka (RIP) sound system fro the man himself, and made an exact replica. I was amazed at how much Japanese people embraced Reggae culture.
Reggae is reggae dub is dub, rockstady is rockstady, lover's rock is lover's rock, rockers is rockers, ragga muffin is ragga muffin, you can't class them as the same, reggae is really pop music
@@pigmeatishambacon I did forget . In fact it's the ska horn section that give that distinctive note that is now slowed down, and if it wasn't for ska and rocksteady you wouldn't have reggae
I would never classify reggae as pop music. It galvanized people around the world. I am a traveller (120 countries and counting) and I have heard reggae everywhere. In obscure countries (Bhutan, etc.) where the language is not understood, then perhaps it can be considered pop music. But in countries where the message has been understood, it has become much more than pop music.
