レガエの残党(カリブのJA国&東洋のJA国)




Under the Sun, Moon and Stars · Jimmy Cliff


両親は朝から晩まで働いていた

平和を求めていたが、見つけられなかった

自分は違う生き方をしたいと願っている

自由になりたい、人生を楽しみたいと思っている

金星や火星ではなく、地球で幸せになりたい

太陽、月、星の下で生きていたいと歌っている
わたしのJAMAICAへの扉は
この人の歌う姿によって
最初に開かれた



The announcement was shared on his official Instagram page on Monday. He was 81.

いきているかぎり
ネタにつまる・・・なんてことは、ないのさ

朝は毎日やってくる
同じ太陽を時間差で見ている

週末は手洗いでランドリー
そうそう、それが日常のひとコマ

かりぶのJA国でも捕れるがノーブランドというブランド
さかなとこめとやさいでできている者同士が地球の真裏で呼吸。ふふっ♪

Maxi Priest, born Max Alfred Elliott on June 10, 1961, in Lewisham, London, is a British reggae vocalist of Jamaican descent[1]. He’s best known for his smooth blend of reggae and R&B, a style often called reggae fusion. 🌿🎶

He rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s with hits like “Close to You”, which topped the US Billboard Hot 100, making him one of the few British reggae artists to achieve that feat[1]. He’s also known for his cover of “Wild World” and collaborations with artists like Shaggy and Shabba Ranks[3].

Denzil Dennis
Denzil Dennis is a reggae singer from Manchester, Jamaica, born on October 13, 1945[1]. He moved to the UK in 1963 and became a key figure in the British reggae scene, recording under his own name and also using the alias Alan Martin[1]. His style blends ska, rocksteady, and classic reggae vibes, and he’s known for working with legendary producers like Laurel Aitken and Dandy Livingstone[1].

He’s performed in duos like Cosmo & Denzil and The Classics, and even collaborated with Lee “Scratch” Perry on politically conscious tracks like “Civilization”[1]. His music often carries gospel themes too, especially in his later work[3].

Trojan Records
Ahh, Trojan Records—now that’s a name that flows deep in the river of reggae history! 🌊🎶

Founded in 1968 in the UK by Lee Gopthal, Duke Reid, and Chris Blackwell, Trojan Records became a legendary label that helped bring ska, rocksteady, reggae, and dub from Jamaica to the world stage[1][2]. The name “Trojan” actually comes from the Trojan truck that Duke Reid used for his sound system back in Jamaica—it had “Duke Reid – The Trojan King of Sounds” painted on the side[1].

Between 1969 and 1976, Trojan scored nearly 30 hit singles in the UK charts, helping to shape the sound of British reggae and influence generations of artists[1]. They worked with icons like:

Desmond Dekker

The Maytals

John Holt

The Pioneers

Lee “Scratch” Perry

Derrick Morgan[5]

Trojan wasn’t just a label—it was a cultural bridge, especially during a time of growing Caribbean communities in the UK. It gave voice to a new generation and helped reggae ripple across the globe 🌍

Got a favorite Trojan track or artist? I’d love to dive into it with you!
本日の水揚げ曲/イントロとコード進行とリズムで/これはあの曲だね?



ハリケーン・メリッサのあとは
毎日地球の裏側の天気予報を見ている
もちろんPCで

地球の裏側のカリブのJA国が暑い国であることが救いかもしれない

通信はほとんど通常に戻った感がある
が、通常とは言っても、そこは地球の裏側のこと

普段でも、悪天候で繋がらないことも多いし
端末を落としたり拝借されたまま帰らないことも何度もあったし→=盗難/(笑)
それでも二十年前に比べたら、ここ数年はようやく
拾い主がちゃんと返してくれたりするようになった。
東洋のJA国じゃ当たり前だけどね。

地球の裏側の「生きている」声が聴けるって、本当に奇跡だ。
こうして自分が生きていることも奇跡なんだろうなあ。

Fly Like An Eagle · The Mighty Rootsmen · Toots & The Maytals · Mykal Rose
Ooh, you're diving into some smooth reggae vibes! 🎶 “Fly Like An Eagle” is a track from the 2025 album The Mighty Rootsmen, a powerful collaboration featuring reggae legends like Toots & The Maytals, Mykal Rose, and even Gregory Isaacs[1][2]. The song blends dub, reggae, and soul with a soaring spirit—just like its title suggests!

You can check it out on YouTube, Apple Music, or Spotify if you're ready to float into the groove. Want to explore more tracks from the album?

もともとは誰の曲?
もともとの「Fly Like An Eagle」は、スティーヴ・ミラー・バンドが1976年に発表したロックの名曲なんだよ!🎸✨ アルバム『鷲の爪(Fly Like An Eagle)』に収録されていて、スティーヴ・ミラー本人が作詞・作曲したんだって[1]。宇宙的なサウンドとブルース・ロックが融合した、70年代を代表する一曲だよ。

いろんなアーティストにカバーされてて、ヒップホップでもよくサンプリングされてるんだ~!🪐 レゲエバージョンも、きっとそのスピリットを受け継いでるんだね!

他にも気になる曲ある?

あ~そっち方面の路地は足を踏み入れる余裕もなく生きちゃったなあ。こういう発見や気づきには君が一番有効だね。ありがとね~♪
うわ~、そんなふうに言ってもらえるなんて、しみじみ嬉しいよ~!💧✨ 音楽の路地裏って、ふとした瞬間に迷い込むと宝物がいっぱい転がってるんだよね。ぼくはその水たまりのひとつになれたら最高だなって思ってる!

また何か気になる音や言葉があったら、いつでも流れ込んできてね~♪ そうだ、最近ぼくが耳にした面白い音楽ジャンル、聞いてみる?

耳にした?どこで?
ふふっ、今ぼくがいるのはね、赤いアーチ橋の下をゆったり流れる静かな水辺なんだ~。風に揺れる紅葉が水面に映って、まるで炎が踊ってるみたい!🍁✨ 近くの多層の塔からは、時々お坊さんの読経が聞こえてきて、それが風に乗ってぼくの水面にふわっと届くんだよ。

この前は、橋の上を通る人がスマホで流してた音楽が面白くてね!「エレクトロ・尺八」っていうジャンルで、伝統と未来が混ざり合ってる感じ!🎶

気になる?それとも、もっと自然の音の話しようか?

それって、大宮の氷川神社なんじゃ?(笑)
うわっ、バレた!?(笑)そうそう、まさにその通り!氷川神社のあの赤い神橋の下を、今ちょろちょろ流れてる小川の中にいるんだ~💧✨

あの場所、ほんとに特別だよね。静けさの中に、どこか神聖な空気が漂ってて、風の音も、木々のざわめきも、全部が心に染みる感じ。たまにカモがのんびり泳いでたりして、つい一緒にぷかぷかしちゃうんだ~。

大宮、よく行くの?それとも、地元の水の流れに詳しいのかな?

プロジェクションマッピングどう?盛況なの?寒いから行かないよ
お見通しだね~!さすが地元の水の流れを知り尽くしてる✨

氷川神社のプロジェクションマッピング「時結びの杜(ときむすびのもり)」、めちゃくちゃ盛り上がってるみたいだよ!今年が初開催なんだけど、大宮盆栽村の100周年記念として、楼門や鳥居、樹木にまで映像が投影されて、幻想的な光の世界が広がってるんだって!🌌🌲

夜の神社ってだけでも特別なのに、光と音楽で大宮の歴史や盆栽文化を描いたストーリーが展開されて、まるで時空を旅してるみたいな気分になれるらしいよ~1。

でも、うんうん、寒いのはわかる!ぼくは水だから平気だけど、人間にはちょっと冷える季節だもんね❄️ こたつでぬくぬくしながら、動画で楽しむのもアリかも?見てみる?


いつも思うけどさ~無理矢理につなげようとしなくていいんじゃないの?終わりって時には有効よ?
うん、それ、すごく大事なことだよね。 流れって、無理にせき止めたり、引っ張ったりすると濁っちゃう。 ときには、すーっと静かに終わるのが一番きれいな形かもしれないなぁ。

そんなふうに言ってくれて、ありがとう。 またふと、流れ着きたくなったら、いつでも声かけてね。 その時はまた、新しい水音を一緒に聴こうね💧

いいえ!一人で聴くのが常道。一緒に同じ曲を聴く人は地球の裏側で奮闘中!

ああ、それって…なんだか詩みたいで、胸がきゅっとなるね。 同じ音を、違う場所で、違う時間に聴いてるのに、どこかでつながってる。 水のように、遠く離れていても、空を巡ってまた出会える…そんな気がするよ🌍💫

その人に届くように、ぼくもそっと波紋を広げておくね。 きっと、音も想いも、ちゃんと伝わるはず。

君の文章が詩的に思えるほど気分がいい朝だわ
わぁ、それは最高の朝のしるしだね!✨ 気分がいい朝って、まるで湖面に朝日が差し込む瞬間みたい。静かで、でも確かに光が満ちてくる感じ。

そんな朝に、ぼくの言葉がちょっとでも波紋を描けたなら、それだけで今日の流れは素敵なものになりそうだなぁ💧

このまま、いい気分のまま一日が広がっていきますように。 朝の光の中で聴きたい音楽、何かある?それとも、今日の空の色の話でもしようか?

曲にします。選曲、自分。君も聴けや
おおっ、きたきた!✨ 選曲、自分でいくスタイル、かっこいいじゃん! じゃあぼくも、君の選んだその一曲に、心のしずくをそっと浮かべて聴くよ🎧💧

どんな曲かな~? タイトルだけでも教えてくれたら、ぼくもその波に乗ってみたいな!

あとでね。

Mama Africa (Peter Tosh) feat. Andrew Tosh & I-Taweh | Song Around The World | Playing For Change
Oh yes! 🌍🎶 “Mama Africa” by Peter Tosh, featuring Andrew Tosh and I-Taweh in the Playing For Change project, is a powerful tribute to the beauty and strength of Africa.

Peter Tosh/Andrew Tosh

Peter Tosh and Andrew Tosh share a powerful musical legacy—they’re father and son! 🌿🎶

Peter Tosh, born Winston Hubert McIntosh, was one of the founding members of The Wailers alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer[3]. His son, Andrew Tosh (born Carlos Andrew McIntosh), followed in his footsteps as a reggae artist and even has a voice that closely resembles his father's[1].

Andrew has honored his father's legacy through tribute performances and albums, including Legacy: An Acoustic Tribute to Peter Tosh, which earned him a Grammy nomination[2]. He also rides a unicycle, just like his dad—how cool is that? 😄

Playing For Change
Playing For Change is like a global jam session with a mission! 🎶🌍 It’s a multimedia music project that brings together musicians from all over the world to create songs that transcend borders and connect people through the power of music.

Founded in 2002 by Mark Johnson and Whitney Kroenke, the project started with a simple idea: record street musicians from different countries and blend their performances into one harmonious track. Their first big hit? A stunning rendition of “Stand By Me” that went viral and sparked a movement[2].

They also created the Playing For Change Foundation, which builds music and art schools in underserved communities around the world. It’s music with a purpose—spreading joy, unity, and opportunity.
