什么是“雷鬼”

雷鬼音乐的起源雷鬼音乐发源于牙买加，其根源来自New Orleans的R&B。 当时牙买加的乐手根据广播中听到的New Orleans快节奏R&B，发展成属于自己的R&B音乐。 这种称为Ska的音乐型态，在当时60年代相当盛行。 然而在一次非常热的夏天， 当地的人无法在高温的户外弹奏如此快节奏的音乐及跳舞。 当地的乐手就将音乐放慢，而形成了 Reggae音乐。 Reggae这个字是源自于「Ragged」， 代表牙买加不修边幅的舞蹈形式。 音乐型态雷鬼音乐结合了传统非洲节奏， 美国的节奏蓝调及原始牙买加民俗音乐， 这种风格包含了弱拍中音节省略， 向上拍击的吉他弹奏， 以及人声合唱。 歌词多以拉斯特法里(牙买加黑人教派) 的宗教传统为主， 强调社会， 政治及人文的关怀。音乐发展Bob Marley 跟他的乐团 - the Wailers，是Reggae音乐的鼻祖。 随着电影 「The Harder They Come」 (1973) ， Reggae成功的流传到美国， 逐渐影响了白人乐手，在摇滚乐及饶舌音乐中经常可以发现雷鬼音乐的踪迹。 在Bob Marley死后，Reggae 音乐渐渐没落。 直到80, 90年代， 一种融合了饶舌音乐及雷鬼音乐的新型态出现， 这种叫做dub 或是toasting 的新音乐型态为雷鬼音乐注入了新的生命。 Bob 的儿子 - Ziggy Marley，也是这段时间雷鬼乐界的代表人物。 雷鬼音乐对世界音乐的影响虽然只有少数的牙买加乐手的音乐流行于世界， 但在过去的20年间， Reggae对其他各种音乐都有深远的影响。 主流摇滚乐手Eric Clapton及Stones到Clash 及Fugees， 都将Reggae融入他们的音乐中，这其中影响最大的要算是在舞曲方面。 牙买加特有的舞厅文化 - 百万瓦特的音响系统, ， 独一无二的 “one-off” 录音， 强调drum及bass， 以及饶舌的人声覆盖在旋律音轨上的运用，影响了全球的Dance文化， 其它像Dub Remix 也被流行音乐广泛的模仿这首歌很不错angelGirl, you're my angel, you're my darling angelCloser than my peeps you are to me, babyShorty, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelGirl, you're my friend when i'm in need, ladyLife is one big party when you're still youngBut who's gonna have your back when it's allDoneIt's all good when you're little, you havePure funCan't be a fool, son, what about the long runLooking back shorty always mentionSaid me not giving her much attentionShe was there through my incarcerationI want to show the nation my appreciationGirl, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelCloser than my peeps you are to me, babyShorty, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelGirl, you're my friend when i'm in need, ladyYou're a queen and so you should be treatedThough you never get the lovin' that youNeededCould have left, but i called and you heededBegged and i pleaded, mission completedMama said that i and i dissed the programNot the type to mess around with her emotionBut the feeling that i offer you is soStrongBeen together so long and this could never beWrongGirl, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelCloser than my peeps you are to me, babyShorty, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelGirl, you're my friend when i'm in need, ladyUh, uhGirl, in spite of my behavior, said i'm yourSavior(you must be sent from up above)And you appear to me so tender, say girl iSurrender(thanks for giving me your love)Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you areMy savior(you must be sent from up above)And you appear to me so tender, well, girl iSurrender(said thanks for giving me your love)Now life is one big party when you're stillYoungAnd who's gonna have your back when it's allDoneIt's all good when you're little, you havePure funCan't be a fool, son, what about the long runLooking back shorty always mentionSaid me not giving her much attentionShe was there through my incarcerationI wanna show the nation my appreciationGirl, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelCloser than my peeps you are to me, babyShorty, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelGirl, you're my friend when i'm in need, ladyGirl, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelCloser than my peeps you are to me, babyShorty, you're my angel, you're my darlingAngelGirl, you're my friend when i'm in need, lady
