Download or read book Jump Up written by Ray Allen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jump Up! Caribbean Carnival Music in New York City is the first comprehensive history of Trinidadian calypso and steelband music in the diaspora. Carnival, transplanted from Trinidad to Harlem in the 1930s and to Brooklyn in the late 1960s, provides the cultural context for the study. Blending oral history, archival research, and ethnography, Jump Up! examines how members of New York's diverse Anglophile-Caribbean communities forged transnational identities through the self-conscious embrace and transformation of select Carnival music styles and performances. The work fills a significant void in our understanding of how Caribbean Carnival music-specifically calypso, soca (soul/calypso), and steelband-evolved in the second half of the twentieth century as it flowed between its Island homeland and its bourgeoning New York migrant community. Jump Up! addresses the issues of music, migration, and identity head on, exploring the complex cycling of musical practices and the back-and-forth movement of singers, musicians, arrangers, producers, and cultural entrepreneurs between New York's diasporic communities and the Caribbean.
Download or read book Calypso Drift and Water written by Steinberg Henry and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calypso Drift And Water is a record of social and cultural history. Though the book represents the island of Dominica, it defines and describes cultural, social, and political practices of the entire Caribbean where Calypso sinks past the color of our skin to find our bones! Engaging Dominica's most articulate winning rhythms, songpoets appearing in Calypso Drift And Water: Reflective Eco Logic Moving Lyrical Imaginative Awareness, identify crucial changes unfolding in an island-state between 2013 and 2016. Those were perhaps our last days of innocence. At its core therefore, this work encourages songpoets, singers, composers, producers of Calypso, and broadcast-journalists/commentators to incorporate radical ecology and social justice in their lyrics and commentary. It is now a responsibility: the people depend on us. It is a spectacle too: they, from all walks of life, come in thousands to Calypso Festivals to participate and share sacred spirit/energy, in a land that is not only resilient, but whose eco logic is electric-Dominica! Steinberg Henry is originally from the Eastern Caribbean island of Dominica, the one hit by Hurricane Maria on September 17, 2017. At present, he lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Steinberg Henry is father, grandfather and husband to Jeanne nee Felix of St. Joseph, and Dominica's Jolly's Pharmacy. Calypso Drift and Water is his fourth work, and the second in the Calypso series. The first is titled Calypso Drift. Steinberg Henry continues to work as advocate for persons with disabilities, being himself, visually impaired. Consider for a while how he transcends this disability to bring you this work over distance! Amazing!
