Reggae rock from Isla Era

SOUNDS FAMILIAR By Baby A. Gil

The Philippine Star 06/23/2006

 

There is a lot of buzz going around about the growing popularity of reggaeton, which is predicted to be the next big thing in dance music. This is a combination of reggae with Latin, pop, rap and hip-hop and whatever other forms the artist desires. It is said to have originated from Central America and is distinct from the quasi reggae or hip-hop music done by artists from other countries. For example, those are merely Koreans rapping in Korean or Latinos doing reggae. Not very original.

 

Reggaeton is different though, because it evolved naturally from the basic music forms and easily adapts itself to other influences. This enables musicians from all over the world to take it and make it their own without ending up as poor copies of the originals. Truth to tell, there are now reggaeton artists in the US, Europe, Japan, Singapore and even the Philippines. In fact, I believe that the multi-faceted but reggae-based music of Brownman Revival is reggaeton. Likewise that of the exciting new group Isla Era. This is not as danceable but is also a fluid mix of reggae with other types of music.

 

Isla Era comes from Davao and is made up of Romeo Catedrilla on lead vocals, Dencio Cebellos, who I must say plays a mean guitar, Marcus Resma on bass and Toto Sumagaysay on drums. They started out playing covers of foreign rock tunes but soon began to experiment with their own songs. Out of these efforts arose a blend of reggae, rock, pop and interestingly also native Filipino music. Strange mix, you say? Not at all. This is because the songs of Isla Era have that most basic ingredient required by reggaeton. The music has to happen naturally. And it does.

 

Check this out in Barkada Ko, the debut album that took Isla Era out of Davao into the music mainstream of Metro Manila. The title track is also the first single release. It is one of the group’s original compositions and extols the friendship they have developed after lots of years together in the band. The other new works also take on universal themes like love of country and family and friends, plain having fun and falling in love. These are the anthemic future classic Aking Ama (Super Ama), Makuntento, Kayumanggi, Hangin, Bughaw Pula’t Dilaw, Bayan Ko, Azucena and Gusto Kita Pero Di Kita Mahal, which I believe should make a very strong second single.

 

Classic Pinoy rock and pop songs done the Isla Era way also make an appearance in the album. While commendable because those songs should not be forgotten and can certainly use new, preferably innovative versions, not all of their choices work well with the band’s style. This is true of Maria Capra’s Kumusta Mga Kaibigan and of Rey Valera’s Ako si Superman which stick out like sore thumbs in the line-up. The Apo Hiking Society’s Mahirap Magmahal ng Syota ng Iba comes off very well though and gives the album a good ending.

bob marley... nakapanood ako kagabi ng buhay niya... isa pala siyang rasta. medyo magulo rin yung buhay nya... at parang may sinasamba daw sila totoo ba yun?

 

ano ba kinamatay nya?

 

Battle with cancer

 

 

Diagnosis

 

In July 1977, Marley was found to have a wound on his right big toe, which he thought was from a football (soccer) injury. Urban legends have since told that it was the British television personality Danny Baker who had caused the injury during a celebrity football match. The wound would not completely heal, and his toenail later fell off during a football game. It was then that the correct diagnosis was made. Marley actually had a form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, which grew under his toenail.

 

Marley was advised to get his toe amputated, but he refused because of his Rastafarian beliefs that the body must be whole, that to have an amputation would be a sin, that his faith would ensure him living forever regardless of the cancer and because he saw medical doctors as samfai, confidence men who cheat the gullible by pretending to have the power of witchcraft. He also was concerned about the impact the operation would have on his dancing. Still, Marley based this refusal primarily on his Rastafarian beliefs, saying, "Rasta no abide amputation. I don't allow a mon ta be dismantled." (Catch a Fire, Timothy White) He did agree to undergo some minor surgery to try to excise the cancer, which was kept secret from the wider public.

 

 

Collapse and treatment

 

The cancer eventually spread to Marley's brain, lungs, liver, and stomach. He later collapsed while jogging in NYC's Central Park, having recently played two shows at Madison Square Garden as part of his fall 1980 Uprising Tour (the remainder of which was subsequently cancelled). Bob Marley played his final concert in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 23 September, 1980; the live version of "Redemption Song" on Songs of Freedom was recorded at this show.[2] Marley sought medical help, and decided to go to Munich in order to receive treatment from cancer specialist Josef Issels, but the cancer had already progressed to the terminal stage.

 

 

Death

 

Marley wanted to spend his final days in Jamaica but he became too ill on the flight home from Germany and the plane was forced to land in Miami so that he could receive immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, Florida on May 11, 1981. His final words to his son Ziggy were, "Money can't buy life." Bob Marley received the honor of a State funeral in Jamaica. It was a dignified funeral with combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari. He is buried in a crypt at Nine Miles, near his birthplace, with his Gibson Les Paul, soccer ball, 7 pounds of marijuana and a Bible. A month before his death, he was awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit.

 

 

Religion

 

Bob Marley was a member of the Rastafari movement, which believes Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, the former Emperor of Ethiopia to be Jah (God) incarnate, the returned messiah. Rastafari culture was a key element in the development of reggae, and Marley's adoption of the characteristic Rastafarian dreadlocks and use of marijuana as a sacred sacrament in the early seventies were an integral part of his persona as a famous musician. He would enter every show proclaiming the divinity of Jah Rastafari.

 

Many of Marley's songs contained Biblical references, sometimes using wordplay to fuse activism and religion, as in "revolution" and "revelation": " Revelation, reveals the truth ... it takes a revolution to make a solution." [1]

 

A few months before his death he was baptised into the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and took the name Berhane Selassie (meaning the Light of the Holy Trinity in Amharic).
