Pt. 2

Even people like joe higgs...ja-na-na...you know that music, used to play that plenty

So um, from there now it develop to people start...chank chank chank for ska, ya know?

And then for rocksteady like....jang, jang, jang

For reggae now is....chik, chik, chik, ya know?

So ya have 3 different feel, but the 3 of them can put together again and make one thing still.

Cheers to those who wanted a translation and the (?) in my previous post is "plenty of"

@fuckoffben Yeah.

[fuckoffben]

@yerk3 oh you mean what the sound is and not what the pace of the sound is called?

[yerk3]

@fuckoffben It's not the tempo, it's that' accentuated kind of thump on the up beat.

[fuckoffben]

@yerk3 the tempo? something like that i think :)

@DuderBre Being high doesn't impede people's speech. It's just hard to understand for people who aren't familiar with the Jamaican patois. Lots of words are pronounced differently and there are a lot of grammatical conventions that are left over from West African languages.

@yerk3 Good info, thanks!

@leftocastpunx83 He died from a melanoma that started on the bottom of his foot. People thought it had to be an assassination because black people very seldom get melanoma because their natural melanin provides more than enough UV protection. The soles of the feet and the palms of the hands, however, don't have any melanin in them, and are equally succeptible to melanomas in all races. Bob Marley was known to go barefoot whenever he could.

I've noticed that rhythmic "chan-chan-chan" thing before, and now I've heard Bob Marley vocalize it, but I still don't know what it's called.
