Description

[Machine Translation] Kingston, Jamaica, 1977. In this small Caribbean nation, where the struggle between street and power was constant, reggae music was not only popular entertainment, but also a rallying cry for politics, religion, and culture in all areas of people's lives. ROOTS, ROCK, REGGAE" is a milestone in music documentary filmmaking, showing the connections between music, social conditions, and culture in Jamaica, which was gaining international attention through the export of reggae culture to Western society. The film includes live footage of Bob Marley in his prime, studio sessions by Jimmy Cliff, Lee "Scratch" Perry recording at the legendary Black Ark Studios, deejay pioneer U Roy toasting in a dance hall, and even a glimpse at the music of Joe Higgs, who sadly passed away in 1999. Joe Higgs, who sadly passed away in 1999, sang acoustic with his soul for the suffering street people.

ROOTS、ROCK、REGGAE / ドキュメンタリー

キングストン、ジャマイカ、1977年。ストリートと権力の抗争が絶えないこのカリビアンの小国で、レゲエミュージックはポピュラー・エンターテイメントとしてだけでなく、政治、宗教、文化といった人々の生活のあらゆる所でそのリディムを響かせていた。「ROOTS, ROCK, REGGAE」はレゲエ文化の西欧社会への輸出を通して、世界的な注目を集めつつあったジャマイカの音楽と社会情勢、文化の結びつきを映し出した音楽ドキュメンタリーの金字塔。ボブ・マーリィの全盛期のライブ映像を始め、ジミー・クリフによるスタジオセッションや、リー "スクラッチ" ペリーの伝説のブラック・アーク・スタジオでのレコーディング風景、ディージェイの先駆けU・ロイのダンスホールでのトースティング、さらに惜しくも99年に他界したジョー・ヒッグスが、苦悩するストリートの者達のために魂を込めアコースティックで歌う様子など貴重な映像が満載。
