So it went really mega in England, and it affected the whole country – the style, the fashions, everything. Devo had a No. 1 song [in England] with "Satisfaction" in '77. Actually, Devo was as big as or bigger than the Pistols.

A GRAMMY veteran these days, Kendrick Lamar has won 17 GRAMMYs and has received 47 GRAMMY nominations overall. A sizable chunk of his trophies came from the 58th annual GRAMMY Awards in 2016, when he walked away with five — including his first-ever win in the Best Rap Album category. Now I got to perform on the deck, so it was a totally different atmosphere and it was a bigger audience,” he added.

Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise 2023 ADD
That is a big reason why you open up and express yourself more because you feel comfortable with what's around you. So a lot of things like that were wake up calls. Even having grandchildren and just watching my daughter enlarging her family and everything; it just makes you really positive about things and want to show a positive side to how you're feeling, about where you're going.

Despite the surrounding mayhem, Reincarnated is a solid pop reggae effort. One of its best tracks is the catchy hip-hop jam "Lighters Up," featuring the innovative brass embellishments of Jamaica’s Tivoli Gardens Drum Corp, with dancehall artists Mavado and Popcaan each taking a verse. Their presence on the track is significant, and belies a complicated history.
In addition to the multiple live concerts there will be numerous Sound Systems blazing the vibes all day and all night throughout the cruise. Named after Damian’s 2006 Grammy Award-winner Welcome to Jamrock, this year’s Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise, held Nov. 14-19, presented more than 25 artists spanning over 50 years of Jamaican music. The cruise’s substantial musical menu also included an onboard reggae radio station with live daily broadcasts, in-cabin TV channels of customized reggae programming, raucous after hours dancehall sessions and traditional Rastafarian drumming and chanting at sunrise. "We try to keep our lineup fresh, make sure we have credible acts to uphold the genre and as much as we can, share the culture of reggae and Jamaica within this environment," Damian Marley told Billboard.

There was a famous book in England called Revolt Into Style — and that's what had happened, a revolt that turned into style which then they were able to duplicate in their own way. Even recently, Billie Joe [Armstrong] did his own version of "Gimme Some Truth," the Lennon song we covered way back in 1977. Maybe down the road John Lydon will get the chance to do John's version of the Pistols story.
We knew we could go [with him] into an R&B world, and he's a great songwriter and producer. That's the fun of music really, trying out these things and seeing if you can make them stick. The duo reunited in 2001 for an episode of "VH1 Storytellers" and have been back in the saddle for two decades. Their union remains one of the strongest collaborations in rock 'n roll history. Living Legends is a series that spotlights icons in music still going strong today.
Moniquea's unique voice oozes confidence, yet invites you in to dance with her to the super funky boogie rhythms. She's been a star artist on his MoFunk Records ever since, and they've collabed on countless tracks, channeling West Coast energy with a heavy dose of G-funk, sunny lyrics and upbeat, roller disco-ready rhythms. Brown's 1965 classic, "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," became one of the first funk hits, and has been endlessly sampled and covered over the years, along with his other groovy tracks. Of course, many other funk acts followed in the '60s, and the genre thrived in the '70s and '80s as the disco craze came and went, and the originators of hip-hop and house music created new music from funk and disco's strong, flexible bones built for dancing.
From the hottest concerts and soundclashes to morning Nyabinghi meditations, the musical performances, entertainment, food, fitness and wellness activities all give cruise-goers a slice of Jamaica before they dock. Gong’ Marley and his manager Dan Dalton have made it his mission for the cruise to embody the island? This a statement I had to agree with, my time on board filled me with a lasting sense of abundance. Those of you hoping to attend next year will need to race against myself for a spot. Many of us have lost things over the past few years and it’s not that the Jamrock Cruise will heal all that ails you, but the joy I took in soothed many of the fractures playing on my mind.
With someone like Steve, I knew what he could do. I could see whatever we needed to do, we could nail it. Steve has said that you like to mix up a variety of styles, yet everyone assumes you're the "Rebel Yell"/"White Wedding" guy. But if they really listen to your catalog, it's vastly different. Shiro Schwarz is a Mexico City-based duo, consisting of Pammela Rojas and Rafael Marfil, who helped establish a modern funk scene in the richly creative Mexican metropolis. On "Electrify" — originally released in 2016 on Fat Beats Records and reissued in 2021 by MoFunk — Shiro Schwarz's vocals playfully contrast each other, floating over an insistent, upbeat bassline and an '80s throwback electro-funk rhythm with synth flourishes.
Spragga punctuates Foxy’s lines with the resounding, catchy chorus, "oh yo yo yo" as heard in the live versions of Bob Marley’s "Get Up Stand Up," which the reggae icon co-wrote with fellow original Wailer Peter Tosh. Heavy D listened to Jamaican deejays toasting in Patois before he moved to New York and started rapping, so there’s a natural chemistry between Heavy and Cat as they trade playful Patois boasts that are crowned by Heavy’s barrage of mesmerizing, scatted improvisations. Essentially a dancehall party record, "Dem No Worry We" stands as one of the era’s very best. Jamaican rapper Heavy D had already released three platinum selling albums by 1992, so his collaboration with Super Cat undoubtedly brought greater attention to the Jamaican dancehall "don dada" who had recently signed to Columbia Records. "Hardcore Reggae" is a lighthearted yet sincere tribute to reggae and one of the earliest reggae/rap fusions by Brooklyn’s Fat Boys, Prince Markie Dee, Buff Love and (the sole surviving member) Kool Rock-Ski.
Reggae songbird Nadine Sutherland started off her set with a rendition of I’ll Do Anything for You and surprised the crowd with a series of high-energy knee lifts as she deejayed parts of the song. She followed up that with songs like Wicked N Wild, Babyface and I’m in Love where she showcased her sparkling vocals and impressive range. The Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise, founded by Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and his manager Dan Dalton, recently wrapped up its 8th successful voyage, entertaining 4,375 Reggae and Dancehall enthusiasts from 47 countries on a musical odyssey aboard the Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas.
