Our dear Queen: never alone THE MONARCHIST LEAGUE OF CANADA 🍁🇨🇦

FOR TOMORROW, OUR QUEEN'S ACTUAL BIRTHDAY,,,We invite members to respond by return email by completing one of the following sentences in no more than 25 words  of which we will publish an assortment of the most interesting tomorrow. You never know what might happen if yours is judged best.  NB: this challenge is not  the place to express condolences to The Queen or refer to her recent loss, which we each will do in our own way, with a full heart and no interest in publicity or reward. 1) I find The Queen's most endearing trait to be... 2) If I could ask HM one question, it would be... 3) If I were asked to give one piece of loyal advice to our Sovereign, I would say...   LEAGUE POETRY COMPETITION ON THE NINETY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY OF THE QUEEN THREE WINNING POEMSWe were surprised and delighted by the number of entries in this first poetry competition of the League. But then, given its subject, perhaps we should not have been taken aback. The sentiments were universally heartfelt and the loyalty clear.   We are therefore awarding three prizes. Two were written in English and one in French: naturally, we are not translating them! The first is a subtle evocation of The Queen’s sense of duty and her love of horses - the poet’s reference to giving up riding was of course an allusion to HM’s ceasing to ride at Trooping the Colour - she enjoys riding as relaxation to this day!  The second is true to the spirit of Holst’s stirring melody, known to many as “I Vow to Thee, My Country.”  And the third, the winner, explores HM’s Realms whimsically with a touch of gravity by means of their national foods.  The poems could not be more different - which is as it should be. Our thanks to all who entered the competition!  SECOND PRIZE TIED by Tom MacGregor, Ottawa ON QUEEN ELIZABETH’S 95th BIRTHDAY                On her ninety-fifth birthday,                I think of the Statue on Parliament Hill                Of her confidently seated                On a horse named Centennial                Given to her by                The Royal Canadian Mounted Police.                The small woman unveiled it                In 1991 after she had given up riding.                Still, she carried on                More than 60 years as Queen                And 95 of service.   FIRST PRIZE by an anonymous member who is donating  the value of the prize to supply a food treat to the homeless today in honour of The Queen’s birthday QUEEN OF THE SIXTEEN REALMS On the 95th birthday of Elizabeth II   PROLOGUE Elizabeth, to your Realms grandmother, sister, friend and Queen: How can we embrace you, and today let you know That we would your sorrow share, wish you could lean On our sixteen hearts, like the drums, beating slow. We look back as you must on Philip’s decades: Your strength and stay during storm and fair days. We gaze also to our future wish: grief ‘midst memories fades To joy of life full-lived, walked on the fields of praise.               So follows our birthday wish, from Realms richly diverse, Who now tune their heart-strings to the happier times Which will follow, dear Ma’am, as sure as sunrise: A great truth of life, which we need not more rehearse, But, rather, assure you: north, west, east, southern climes Gather round to uphold you, dear Queen - loving and wise!                   ~ ~ ~   ~ ~ ~    ~ ~ ~ Elizabeth, our Queen and friend, the nations’ joy and pride, Her 95th today is hailed through Realms both far and wide; And since all share in most fond wish to serve special birthday treat - These lines some local fare suggest - loyal banquet so replete!         In ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, small islands to be sure, But big in heart and loyalty - FUNGIE ‘tis special allure: Polenta-based and spicy hot, with pepperpot ‘tis served, A treat for their beloved Queen, one surely well deserved!         Down Under,  AUSTRALIAN mates present their VEGEMITE: This brewers’ yeast extract not yet the world’s delight! But served on toast throughout the land, a tribute singular - quite - Antipodean Queen finds on Aussie plate a most distinct delight.           THE BAHAMAS offers special dish: folk there pluck CONCH from sea: And dressed with lime and vegetables - ‘tis rich in Vitamin C!  Bahamian Sovereign will enjoy devouring “Queen Conch” recipe, Dressed with fruit, offered with love and Island loyalty         BARBADOS, amidst disloyal dance, bakes up its famed RUM CAKE On which Monarch’s pain at such dalliance might well her sweet tooth slake; Since toothsome confection is topped up with frequent rum infusion: EIIR hopes (though’d never say) “Drink deep: to republican confusion!”                 BELIZE proffers its BOIL UP, reminiscent of the pie in rhyme: No blackbirds for its Queen today, but fish, eggs, veggies: good time! Tis topped with broth and dough, then baked - a treat fit for a princess, The Central American domain diverse could offer her no less!         CANADA may indeed be home to most loyal Maple Throne: Thus on this day POUTINE shall stand in prominence, alone: Like the Dominion, flavours many, with toppings beyond measure - As each in own way toasts our Queen, the True North’s splendid treasure!                     GRENADA’s OIL DOWN, savoury-sweet, a one pot dish of stew, With coconut leaching flavours out to make each casserole new To taste - and variegated ever for all this island nation.

Antilles population takes a week to give the nod To stew that melds, as island does two seas, Atlantic and Caribbean, And mix a Bounty cocktail to raise their glass to Queen!               A BREADFRUIT ROASTED in iron pot, add fried jackfish for great repast,   Is SAINT VINCENT & THE GRENADINES’ entrée, not easily surpassed: Its thirty-two islands celebrate their Monarch’s special day, Sing “...Land, so Beautiful” to big drum, calypso, steel pan and reggae!             Now Taro roots make sticky POI, SOLOMON ISLANDS’ favorite food, The wise old King lends his name to 900-strong island brood; Thus Melanesian Queen presides, with Governor-General elected: Their birthday bouquet beauteous, as from 200 orchid strains selected!                     TUVALU brings to feast PULAKA, swamp taro cooked for hours: Raising ocean discourages cultivation - ‘tis time for Commonwealth powers To use their world wide fellowship to save this crop essential: Their Queen fears global warming looms, Polynesian threat potential.               The UNITED KINGDOM is Elizabeth’s home, of sixteen Realms The Queen: No longer a colonial power, but from Empire’s legacy yet seen: Its “national dish” CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA now claims pride of place, Transcending old-style differences of climate, Raj and race!       ~! ~ ~   ~ ~ ~   ~ ~ ~ EPILOGUESo, all hail, dear Queen, gracious Lady: your true realms lie deep within, Not geographic, to be sure, but values kingly. gracious, human; Constant Commonwealth care for its nations great and small, Reflects deep-reciprocal, hailed to your heart, one voice echoed by all!     So here’s to Elizabeth - long may she reign, long live our monarch so great!

R.I.P. Lee "Scratch" Perry

Reggae and dub pioneer Lee "Scratch" Perry died August 29th in Jamaica at age 85. Perry started his career as an apprentice to reggae producer Clement Coxsone Dodd. After a time of working with Amalagated Records he formed his Upsetter Records in 1968. He started his career as a solo artist with his inaugural single "People Funny Boy" being released under the name Lee Perry. A series of songs followed and were released on various labels he controlled and there was time spent working with his studio band The Upsetters. In 1970, he produced and released his first production for The Wailers, "Mr. Brown."  His famous Black Ark studio was constructed in 1973 and legendary sessions for Bob Marley, The Heptones, The Congos, Junior Murvin and Max Romeo took place. This was also the year he would collaborate with fellow dub designer King Tubby on the Upsetters 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle album which many consider to be the first dub album. Augustus Pablo, who became known for adding melodica to dub, is also on the album's personnel.

Perry's productions took reverb and echo to make rippling rhythms that reflected a disjointed diaspora yet united the various geographies in sound. Samples of American soul made itself into dub alongside the distinct reggae beat he helped to popularize with his first recordings. He saw the studio itself as an instrument to be manipulated and used as his own artificial intelligence hybrid. Perry claimed to have burned The Black Ark down himself at the beginning of the '80s. But he also had a creative resurgence and started working with producer The Mad Professor and others.

His fame continued to grow in the '90s and he had a high-profile appearance on the Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty album. The 2003 Grammy for Best Reggae Album award went to Perry for his 2002 Jamaican E.T. album. Perry collaborated with producers Bill Laswell and Adrian Sherwood for the Rise Again and The Mighty Upsetter projects during the 2000s. He would later venture into the dubstep genre with the group Dubblestandart and the Subatomic Sound System. Music was his life's work but he also became a visual artist and had his first exhibition at Dem Passwords Gallery in Los Angeles in 2010.

Perry stayed busy with music until the end of his life. He co-produced The Orb's 2012 The Observer In The Star House album and still went on tours. He participated in the first two Dub Champions Festivals in New York City in 2011 and 2012 and Coachella in 2013. Three documentaries were released about him; The Upsetter (2011), Lee Scratch Perry's Vision Of Paradise (2015) and The Revelation Of Lee "Scratch" Perry (2019). He released 77 albums and four this year including Dubz Of The Root, Friends, No Bloody Friends and To Conquer The Evil Duppies. There was a re-release and remaster of Roast Fish, Collie Weed and Cornbread for Record Store Day 2021.

Lee "Scratch" Perry's dub and reggae creations have seeped into punk, dance music and hip-hop. Several artists paid tribute to him on Twitter and acknowledged the way he forever changed music.

Broomhall, by Kayo Chingonyi

In the light of what my aunt calls the Arabic texture of my hair, I’m Abdi outside the only shop selling tamarind balls, Irish Moss, Supermalt in decent quantities.

It is not enough to say I miss the smell of cassava roasted over open coals, expeditions in want of tilapia, kapenta, assorted meats of questionable

provenance. How much, auntie? Barter and bluff and rough hands of stallholders glazed to a deep blue shameless blackness that is consigned now to another life

before this one of middle-class white boys in reggae-bands, who love roots and culture as if their love is enough to know the code that some of us live and die by.

At least these boys who call me Abdi seem to be fond of Abdi. They ask why I don’t come  round no more, what it’s like in Leeds and maybe, today, I can be Abdi and this shop can be all the home I need.

“WatchMojo” Prime 10 Film Genres That Died Out (TELEVISION Episode 2018)

The past few years have been something of a golden age for music documentaries, with the Oscar-profitable success of Trying to find Sugar Man and 20 Ft From Stardom opening up the field for films about much less obvious stars. Naughty tech-home is a sense. It is what screws your face up in mock disgust when a dangerous bassline belts out the system. It's what makes you get one other round of doubles in when it is best to have been ordering an Uber. It is what reminds you the way life-affirming this whole whirlwind of a culture may be. It is the lubricant of the sesh and, undeniably, the best dance music sub-genre of all time. However it was Sheeran whose music dominated radio, digital and streaming in 2017. Divide" notched up 2.7 million models, including sales and streaming exercise, and the 26 year-outdated singer-songwriter's single Shape of You" spent 33 weeks on Billboard's Sizzling one hundred chart and was streamed one billion times. The perfect document to come out of punk, or punk's dying knell? On this double album, The Conflict fused their rockabilly roots with their love of reggae, moving away from the choppy snarls of the scene that birthed them. This was the album that legitimised punk - hitherto a stroppy fad - into the rock canon. Its iconic cover, and songs concerning the Spanish Civil Battle introduced left-wing politics firmly into musical fashion. Following are curated descriptions of among the most typical genres and sub-genres you'll hear. There are APPROACH too many to checklist and it's rising all the time, so do not enable this to restrict you to all the opposite possibilities. Plus, most artists don't want to simply fit in a single genre, however figuring out their stylistic distinctions can further appreciation for his or her techniques. Perhaps we'll see. iHeart went chapter 11 last March. Relying on how the collectors handle issues, it might get damaged up and the stations sold or they could have a buying who'll take the whole mess. Hopefully, both approach, the new owners may see local curation as one among radio's strengths, and if I'm proper about how sure subgenres of rock music go mainstream then we would get another wave. In case you refuse to call Think about Dragons rock music though, you won't acknowledge it when it does.

Music was once straightforward. Some folks liked rock. Some folks appreciated pop. Some people liked jazz, blues or classical. And, mainly, that was type of it. Nevertheless, musicians are a stressed bunch and you may only play Smoke on the Water, At all times Crashing within the Identical Car or Roast Fish and Cornbread so many instances before somebody is certain to say: Dangle on a minute, www.audio-transcoder.com what would happen if we played all of them on the similar time?" And so it is that new genres are born. Now think about that occuring for not less than half a century or so - all over the world - and also you attain a point at which, in accordance with the engineer and information alchemist" Glenn McDonald, there are actually 1,264 genres of in style music; all you could do is go directly to his startlingly clever website and look - effectively, pay attention - for your self. Progressive home is usually what individuals think of when they think about EDM music. It's very talked-about music in nightclubs and is understood for it is upbeat, blissful sound. Progressive home is finest identifiable by it's verses, that are heavily featured in most songs within the genre. ALSO - to you individuals who dwell to right individuals on the internet: I'm making use of all of these genres to trendy-day producers. I will nonetheless briefly carry up the original masters, however I'm tryna keep it just a little contemporary. Additionally, nobody individual's view is absolutely the right one. Hold that in thoughts. So I'm not negating your article but saying the issue isn't that rock is for white boys and pop is for girls - that is something the business has decided. You most likely know that a lot of the pop music as we speak is written by a small group of 5 or so middle-aged Scandinavian men - another formula. The people need good music and much of what is written for pop is formulaic and after awhile monotonous- all the time the identical. Not particularly effectively-identified outdoors of its personal neighborhood, Black MIDI is a musical style wherein MIDI files are remixed and stuffed with 1000's, hundreds of thousands, and even billions of notes. The black designation has to do with the truth that when so many notes are located close to each other on a traditional two-stave piano score, they create a kind of black mess of characters. Solo: This can be used anytime, preferably after a spherical or two of chorus and verse, so as to add a bit jam feel. Used rather a lot in jazz and can actually create cool sections in music. If you end up pondering of reside efficiency Solo elements are at all times unbelievable, even if it is not in your released monitor. we fell in love with this music, and it's not something you usually develop out of, so long as the music evolves with you. and so long as there is a demand, there can be like minded individuals supplying.These yak songs are just considered one of countless endangered music traditions world wide, vanishing as fashionable life intrudes and the final practitioners die without passing them on. Frightened about the loss, ethnomusicologists have begun attempting to doc, preserve, and even breathe new life into these disappearing traditions—much as linguists over the last twenty years have launched a concerted effort to help endangered languages within the face of predictions that three,000 are prone to vanish by the top of the century.On this letter, we present completely different approaches for music genre classification. The proposed techniques, which are composed of a characteristic extraction stage followed by a classification procedure, discover each the variations of parameters used as input and the classifier architecture. Tests have been carried out with three kinds of music, particularly blues, classical, and lounge, that are considered informally by some musicians as being huge dividers" among music genres, showing the efficacy of the proposed algorithms and establishing a relationship between the relevance of every set of parameters for every music model and every classifier. In contrast to different works, entropies and fractal dimensions are the options adopted for the classifications.This record isn't comprehensive, but merely goes over a few of the more well-liked sub-genres of EDM. Some artists do not fit very effectively inside any of the genres and simply create a brand new sub-genre. For instance DVBBS refers to their fashion as Woozy". Other artists classify themselves in multiple genres. West, Martin Litchfield (Could 1994). "The Babylonian Musical Notation and the Hurrian Melodic Texts".

Easy Skanking 2021

This year's Miami Reggae Festival was definitely an event to remember. Everything from the music to the food to the atmosphere was incredible. The camaraderie of the patrons, hailing from a plethora of nations in the Caribbean and beyond, was a sight to see. All of which came in support of the birth of a nation, it's rich musical history as well as one of its founding principles "Out of Many, One People". The 2021 Miami Reggae Festival presented by Rockers Movement was a great way to commemorate all of the legends of Reggae music as well as highlight the overall message of the music itself; the unifying principle of "One Love". Such a wonderful event to celebrate Jamaica's Independence.

From the minute you step foot into the parking lot you start feeling the energy of the event. The roar of the music permeated deeply throughout the entire Miami-Hialeah Flea Market. As you tread closer to the entrance you begin to hear patrons serenading one another to the soothing hits of various reggae icons such as Garnett Silk, Buju Banton and Bob Marley. The smell of various West Indian delicacies captivate your senses drawing you in even closer. Upon entry, you are greeted by a wide assortment of local vendors in attendance to partake in the festivities. Everything from artists, to restaurants, to family-friendly entertainment came out to show the public what they had to offer.

 At the center of it all sat the colossal stage from which songs of freedom, liberation and unity rang everso eloquently. Pan-Africanist poet/artist Mutabaruka moderated the event with pure roots and. culture. He entertained the crowd with jokes and stories about the good 'ol days and how reggae music evolved over time.  He also introduced the various sound system DJ's including Stone Love, King Waggy Tee, Overproof Movements and many more that took to the stage spinning their remixes on reggae classics. Music that invokes peace and love as well as liberation within the community. All in ode to the primary objective of the event itself, "healing the community with sound system culture".

 A few local artists gave live performances showcasing their talent. One in particular is Trinidadian artist/singer "Shelly Sweetshells".  Blazing the stage with tracks about faith, perseverance and joy, Shelly electrified the audience setting the tone for what was destined to be a great event. She performed her hit song "Praises" reminding everyone of the importance of gratitude and giving thanks for even the smallest of blessings.  Highlighting the many struggles Jamaicans, as well as Afro-diasporic communities at large, have overcome throughout history. The sacrifices their ancestors made in resistance to colonial rule deserve the highest levels of honor, appreciation and reverence.

The entertainment wasn't the only extraordinary component of the reggae festival, the food was remarkable as well. The venue offered a taste of the West Indian collective with dishes from virtually every Caribbean nation imaginable. Among them was Barbadian chef and restaurateur Trevon Stoute. Offering traditional delicacies with a twist like coconut curry chicken and roasted corn & tomato succotash served over steamed rice or roasted potatoes. Paired with an ice cold beer or glass of rum punch; it made for the perfect accompaniment to the easygoing reggae vibes.

All in all, the 2021 Miami Reggae Festival was an incredible event for the veneration of reggae culture. The mesmerizing effects of reggae music were definitely on full display. The camaraderie it created amongst the patrons contributed greatly to the overall spirit of the event. Such a splendid occasion to rejoice with people from all over the world.  An occasion to be memorialized for many years to come

LET’S PLAY VINYL ON GUAP

TODAY’S ROOTS REGGAE SOUND SYSTEM OPERATORS

Let’s Play Vinyl, an exhibition on roots reggae showcasing today’s sound system operators, is currently touring the UK.

Sound systems and the UK roots reggae scene is becoming more diverse, and a new generation of sound system operators are carrying on a love of vinyl.

Mandy Samra, curator, is the brains behind the project and told GUAP all about it.

Let’s Play Vinyl is touring in partnership with four unis (University of Leicester, Goldsmiths University of London, Birmingham City University and the University of Huddersfield). The universities want to reach out to their local communities and workshops running alongside the exhibition aim to do just that.

Photos of different sound system operators will be on display including operators for each of the four locations. Photographer, Ellis Baxter, was commissioned to take the portraits. There’s a focus on three women sound operators, who are at the forefront and are helping to pioneer the scene. One of the women featured is Helene Henry – founder of Mousai sound from Leicester  who builds sound systems from scratch.

Brought up in  Huddersfield Mandy spent her school days listening to her friends talk about sound systems and blues parties . Mandy created and developed the Sound System Culture project for Let’s Go Yorkshire in 2012. She realised that the vibrant stories of the reggae roots sound system scene in the 60’s and 70’s were mostly untold. She started talking to her local Caribbean community about what it was like back in the day and found that roots reggae was an important part of their history.

As shown in her latest exhibition, Let’s Play Vinyl, the younger generation are carrying the legacy forward and different crews are coming together to play roots music. A large number of sounds are still following the original format, playing music on one turntable. Some of the new operators are now playing from their laptops and have moved away from the traditional form. Groups like Reggae Roast don’t play vinyl but they are also record producers and have a connection to vinyl in their own way through their label.

The exhibition also features Young Warrior –  son of Jah Shaka, Junior Quaker – son of Quaker City, and Jelani ‘JB’ Brown, One Rass and Darren Williams  – proteges of Wassifa, who play on the original boxes that belonged to their parents.

A Medic / A Maniac

A breeze of heavy wind came whistlin through the cracks in the doors and seams of the windows as we steered our slowly failing ship, south, down the asphalt lines, toward Bluffton in the wet, green state of South Carolina. It has been a couple days since we started noticing the strange lack of cooperation with the van, when trying to accelerate. A 75 mph trajectory can quickly turn to 35mph if trying to summit a hill of any size. SOMETHING / SOMEONE needs to fix her. A medic. A maniac. As the whipping wind raised her arms northward we pushed past her temperance and pulled into a town that seemed to rise from the gold that's hidden in coastal swamps of South Carolinas. Bluffton appeared to be a town from a storybook. Dreamy, light green moss hung from the ancient roots that leaned over the cracked highways that led us to The Roasting Room, a quaint listening room positioned above a "locals only" type coffee shop who catered to cats / kids with good tongues / good tastes. We were welcomed with open arms and white teeth, hands that felt firm and sincere, mouths that echoed sentiments of both approval and appreciation for (us) having traveled to a town in which we had never been. We took to our bikes after setting up and headed to the water, the air was thick and touchable, an environment that feels foreign to westerners such as us. Grateful for the sites and sanctity of our surroundings we started the show. Poured onto the pedastal of the stage, we crooned the songs of My Spirit Sister and other songs that, like apendages, hang from our tongues, grateful (eternal) for the connection / kindness / curiosity. As we were passing one piece of musical luggage into the back of our aging van we were approached by Elise, a kind-eyed, cheerful woman, concerned for our post-show sleeping arrangements. With gratitude we followed Elise and her friend, Mikey, back to her house. Elise's beautiful home was tucked neatly inside of a community of country-clubbers and hobbyists. The night sky shone down with effortless pride as we pulled into the drive. For the following 3 hours we danced to reggae music, dressed up in costume (Elise, for many years was a costume designer. Originally from New Zealand, she moved to Los Angeles at the ripe age of 19 to try immersing herself into the well-seasoned world of acting) ate pasta and remembered our presence. So often i swim upstream. I battle against my moment. I kick against a mountain, in search of something that at this point seems unreachable. I position of free-comfort. What is that? Why? Don't take the free lunch. I ain't no lottery ticket. Time on this tour is quickly coming to a close and I am better, more confused, free-er, more inspired, more conflicted than ever before. Direction of water, falling, with an ending unknown and abrupt. joshua
