JAMAICA AND REGGAE

JAMAICA AND REGGAE

Jamaican musicians poised for a Reggae performance in Jamaica know…

…Jamaican audiences…

…can truly be mixture of mostly serious music lovers

Of a critical nature

Because they wish not to promote uninspiring music

Knowings’ if they condole garbage sound tracks

The performers may get false illusions

Next, wanting to go on some world-wind tour

Causing more embracement for all Jamaicans…

…so most Jamaican musicians knows-culturally…

…run always first, second and third!

When it comes to serious ‘Reggae Music’

Jamaican musicians must first follow protocols

First objective, convince the Jamaican massive of their true talent

In several past cases

As potential performer rises to that moment

Holding that microphone

Said action becomes a most serious position to be in…

…especially in live concert settings

If music is not to their pleasing, those listening ears

Silence!

Silence…not part of the Jamaican cultural experiences

Something else could be a better description when silence audience is not impressed…

…consciously serious Jamaican musician knows

It’s almost impossible for any to make it on the Reggae forum…

…the World stages can be short lived…

…without the Jamaican audience full backative’

Many have tried

Becoming to that ultimate…halted…

…since the music they represented or tried to, did not become an extension

In positivity through music or performance

Jamaicans will not let them move forward until they have improved on said stance

Once upon a time Jamaicans would let musicians know their feelings by the use of…

…throwing bottles onto the stage!

If the music is not good…

…there will be sameness in formal whinnying

Just a whole lot of screeching for immediate removal of said musician

Currently they use more social media to voice their displeasures

Because behind the microphone is a serious location to be

And from moments in times of past

A dangerous place to be as a none qualify musician

Especially ones performing ‘Reggae Music’ on the island of Jamaica

Jamaicans now insist on more respect towards their inherited music

Wanting all future Jamaican reggae artists to become more sincere

Respect to all sound tracks played or the wanting of play

They have had enough smash and rubble garbage over these many passing years

Now insisting on movements in positivism’

Like the way a ballet gets performed

With complete uncompromising respect

Jamaican musicians know to top their best

Good have to be better in front of a Jamaican audience on Jamaica’Soil

Especially when it comes to ‘Reggae Music’

Because performers can get over-whelmed…

…but if embraced by the massive the result can be quite impressive

Reggae is based in a modern day jungle

Filled with electrical convicts

Giving life to possibilities

Via radios, televisions and computers…

…now filling the speed of awareness’

Being good or…

…Jamaica audience is linked to all social networks

So musicians of ‘Reggae Music’ be warned

Take this one form of Jamaica Music legacy seriously

Or don’t touch the microphones...

…if not to take genre to another positive level

…reversing forward, future is history!

Writtenments…

…fifty-three of one thousand
