ON-U SOUND
76年の夏、ロンドンの地下鉄でライオンの鬣のようなドレッドロックス ( dread locks ) を初めて見たときには、その民族の誇りと威厳すらを感じる美しさにしばらく見とれて感動したものだった。まるで蛇が房になって寄り合わさったようなドレッドロックスは、当時キングスロードで見たパンクスの鶏冠ヘアーよりも威圧的で反抗の象徴のように思えた。打楽器奏者Bonjo
AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE / IN PURSUIT OF SHASHAMANE LAND ( ON-U LP 65 )
Iyabinghi Noahによって形成されるアフリカン・ヘッド・チャージのアブストラクトなアンサンブル・ダブやON-Uサウンドを聴くと、毎年8月の最終日曜日とその翌日のバンクホリデーの2日間に行われていたロンドンのノッティングヒル・カーニバルでの、移動式のサウンドシステムから大音量で流れていた重低音のカリビアン・
ルーツ・サウンドを思い出す。'81年といえば、ブライアン・イーノがデヴィッド・バーンとの共同作業でEGレコードから " My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts " をリリースした年で、アンビエントとエレクトロニック、第3世界を関連づけた作品には、イーノとバーンにとっても頂点と見なされた頃のアフリカンとサイケデリックの新たな概念がみられた。アフリカン・ヘッド・チャージの " My Life In A Hole In The Ground " は、きっとそれを意識した作品だったのだろうが、この作品にも同じアフリカンとサイケデリックのコンセプトが感じられる実験的なものでもあった。ON-Uのなかで、最も好きなアルバムは、なんといってもアフリカン・ヘッド・チャージの'93年の " In Pursuit Of Shashamane Land " で、催眠性のトライバル・リズム、サイケデリックなアフリカン・パーカッション、ダブ、ダウンテンポ・ビートなどのスピリチュアルでスペーシーな、現在のクラブジャズの先端にも通じる魔法のようなサウンドスケープが描かれていた。 ON-Uサウンドでのジャマイカン・

African Head Charge - Off The Beaten Track

アーティストによる作品には、ポップなものも少なくないが、なかにはカリブの黒人社会に根強く残っているアフリカ回帰やエチオピアニズム、ラスタファリズムに特徴のドレッドロックスや大麻による儀式やスタイルが色濃く感じられ、彼らにはボブ・マーレーが'75年にエチオピアのHaile Selassie I のメッセージと約束の地Zionに再生することを歌った "Jah Live" という曲が潜在意識に刻印されているようにも感じる。ON-Uサウンドのエイドリアン・シャーウッドの手掛ける多くのダブは、少し攻撃的で、彼が頭の中に描いた現代的で抽象的な映像を音響化したものと言われていて、パンクの衝動にも似た暴力的な部分を持ちながら、カリブ海の、そしてアフリカン・プリミティヴをも感じるものであった。'81年にSingers & Playersの10インチ " Virgin " の1枚と、African Head Charge " My Life In A Hole In The Ground " 、New Age Steppers " The New Age Steppers " 、The Mothmen " Pay Attention " 、Creation Rebel " Starship Africa " の4枚のアルバムをリリースすることで始まったON-Uサウンド表出の背景にあるのは、決してジャマイカでスカとロックステディから発展したレゲエの1ジャンル、ルーツ・レゲエからだけではなく、ロンドンのニューウェイヴ運動を受けてのことだった。エイドリアン・シャーウッドとON-Uの音楽ルーツはレゲエだけではない、核をなしているのはダブだ。勿論そこには多くのジャマイカン・アーティスト、Prince Far IのいたSingers & Players、Mikey Dread、Bim Shermanなどの作品をサポートし手掛けていることもあってか、ラスタファニズムやダンスホール・レゲエの精神が流れてもいるが、ON-Uサウンドはクラフトワークやカンのクラウトロック、そしてダブ・テクニックを最初に手掛けたコニー・プランクの精神を受け継ぐ正真正銘のダブなのだ。エイドリアン・シャーウッドとON-Uサウンドには3つの顔がある。ひとつは今回紹介しているジャマイカン・アーティストのプロデュース・ワーク、もうひとつはポストパンクとしてのニューウェイヴの運動を受けたJohn Lydon、Jah Wobble、Keith Le BlancのPIL、SlitsやNew Age SteppersのAri Up、Pal Judy、The Mothmen、London UndergroundやLittle Annie、Andy Fairleyなどのプロデュース・ワーク、そしてタックヘッドでのミュージシャン活動に付随するThe Barmy Army、Gary Clail、Mark Stewartなどのエレクトロニック・ボディ・ミュージックでの活動。それに加えエイドリアン自身のmixologistとしてデペッシュ・モードからウッデントップス、プライマル・スクリーム、ポップ・ウィル・イート・イットセルフ、コールドカットなどや、Einstürzende Neubauten、Cabaret Voltaire、KMFDM、Nine Inch Nailsなどのインダストリアル系のアーティストのリミックス。これこそが80年-90年代に" 白いドレッド " と呼ばれるエイドリアン・シャーウッドがロンドンの音楽シーンに与えた計り知れない影響なのだった。いまやON-Uサウンドのオフ・ビートは、最もイギリス的な音楽として、ロンドンを象徴するルーツ・ミュージックのひとつと言えるかも。

AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE
49年ジャマイカ生まれのパーカッショニスト、ボンジョ・ナイヤビンギ・ノアがリーダーを務めるプロジェクト、アフリカン・ヘッド・チャージ。ボンジョがまだジャマイカのクラリングドンに住んでいた17歳の頃、祖母のラスタ教会で音楽や人生のすべての原点を学んだという。最も影響を受けたアーティストは、ラスタマンでドラム奏者のカウント・オジー・アンド・ザ・ミスティッ
ク・レベレーション・オブ・ラスタファリ ( Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari ) で、彼らはラスタファリアンの宗教的な集会、またはラスタファリアン同士の交流の場で円陣を組んでガンジャを吸い太鼓を叩いて歌ったり(チャント/Chant)、話し合ったり(リーズニング/Reasoning)する集会で演奏される音楽、ナヤビンギを演奏するユニットだが、'73年に " グロウネーション ( Grounation ) " という名盤がリリースされている。ボンジョの名前にも使われているナイヤビンギは、ケテ・ドラム(Kette Drum/Akette Drum/Kettle Drum )と呼ばれる複数の太鼓によるアンサンブルにチャントと呼ばれる賛美歌を乗せたものであり、すべての打楽器のルーツでもあり、タンガドラムのハードなビート、アフリカのケテなど、様々なドラムのなかでもナイヤビンギ・ドラムはその中心となるものだという。そうしたオーケストラ・スタイルのカウント・オジーによく似た編成をアフリカン・ヘッド・チャージもとっていて、そのサウンドも、パーカッションによるアフリカン・リズムを核にレゲエとダブを融合し、スピリチュアルでトリップ感のある覚醒を呼び起こすドラッグ・ミュージックでもあった。現在ボンジョ・ナイヤビンギ・ノアはロンドンを離れ、アフリカのガーナに住まいを移している。'81年のデビュー作 " My Life In A Hole In The Ground " から2005年の " Vision Of Psychedelic Africa " まで、12のアルバムを残している。80年代の人々の物の考え方や時代を支配していたパラダイムという窓に風を通し、再びアフリカン・ヘッド・チャージのダブ・サウンドを聴くと、当時見えなかった多くのことが視えてくる。これこそ、アーカイヴ作業の愉しさだ。

ON-U SOUND 1993
*******The distinctive sound is still there; atmospheric synth stabs, percolating percussion, stinging, minimalist guitar lines, sturdy bass lines. AHC has progressed since the heady days of MY LIFE IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND, though. The dense, dark soundscapes of that era are supplanted here by a more celebratory air and an open, spacious feel. Several cuts feature what sounds like children chanting, and there's a more spiritual tone throughout, even reflected in song titles such as "Hymn," "Healing Ceremony," and "Gospel Train." Fear not, Sherwood and company haven't gone new age. The sonic settings are just as exquisitely textured as ever, they've just been given an added depth.
Progressive dub producer Adrian Sherwood first made his mark in the early '80s as the man behind the boards for groups like African Head Charge, Creation Rebel, and New Age Steppers. His revolutionary combination of dub reggae with a gritty, forward-looking post-punk aesthetic was a breath of fresh air. A decade later, SONGS OF PRAISE finds African Head Charge and Sherwood still fully capable of innovation.
African Head Charge includes: Skip MacDonald (guitar, keyboards); Carlton "Bubbles" Ogilvie (piano); Crocodile, Junior Moses, Martin Frederix (bass); Style Scott (drums); Sunny Akpan (percussion); Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah, Prisoner.

Vincentなどなど多くの別名を使っていた。彼の最初のアルバムはTribes Manレコードからの "Love Forever" で、そのなかの " Love Forever " はスリッツのアリ・アップによってカヴァーされニュー・エイジ・ステッパーズの1stアルバムに収録されてもいる。'94年にリリースされた " Miracle " はレゲエとシャーマンの最高傑作だと言われている。シャーマンの悲しげで甘い歌声を聴くと、80年代のON-Uとロンドンを思い出す。残念だが2000年11月に他界している。Strange Parcelsは、Doug Wimbish、Jesse Rae、Skip McDonald、Bernard Fowlerからなるユニット。

シンガー・アンド・プレイヤーは固定されたメンバーによるバンドではなく、緩い集合体のようなもので、Prince Far I、Bim Sherman、Mikey Dread、Congo Ashanti Roy、Style Scott、Bruce Smith、Jah Woosh、Ari-Upなど20人ものヴォーカリストやミュージシャンによって形成されていた。レーベル・カラーはパンクス・アンド・レゲエ、レベルス、ロッカーズ、イントゥルメンタル、エクスペリメンタリストという広範囲なもので、ある意味でエイドリアンのビジネス/商業主義的発想から生まれたプロジェクトで、チェリー・レッドやシチュエーション2レコードとのネットワークも構築されていた。

BIM SHERMAN
ビン・シャーマンほどルーツ・ミュージックやレゲエの世界で過小評価しかされなかった人物はいないかも知れない。ルーツ・レゲエとドレッドロックド・シンガーのビン・シャーマンは、バビロンのラスタ・ヴィジョンを証明するために、70年代に自身が融資した " Scorpio " や " Red Sea " 、" Sun Dew "レーベルから表出した。霊的でその悲しげな歌声には、ダブは好きだがそれほどレゲエが好きでもなかったボクの心をなぜかとらえて離さなかった。

ARI-UP
NEW AGE STEPPERS

アリ・アップは14歳の時、ロンドンで行われたパティ・スミスのギグで、友人のPalmoliveと出会い、ガールズ・パンク・バンド、スリッツ ( The Slits ) のリード・ヴォーカリストになることを勧められ、それが音楽への道を歩む契機となった。パンクの衝動とレゲエやアフリカの民族音楽の持つシャーマニズムを融合させたスリッツは、 事実上" Cut " と " The Slits " の2枚のアルバムを残して消滅したが、リップ・リグ・パ二ックやポップグループ、マキシマムジョイ、レインコーツ、PILなどと同じように80年代音楽=ニューウェイヴの最も重要で大きな波を形成していた。スリッツ解散後、アリはエイドリアン・シャーウッドのプロデュースの下、ポップグループのメンバーだったマーク・スチュワート ( Mark Stewart ) 、スティーヴ・ベレスフォード ( Steve Beresford ) やジョージ・オーバン( George Oban ) 、ドン・チェーリの娘ネネ・チェリー ( Neneh Cherry ) などとニュー・エイジ・ステッパーズを結成する。彼女たちのレゲエによる反逆者的態度は、当時のクラッシュ ( the Clash ) やザ・ラッツ ( the Ruts ) と同じようにポスト・パンクバンドとして迎え入れられていた。'81年の夏にロンドンでニュー・エイジ・ステッパーズのステージを舞台の最前列で観る機会があって、アリのダイナミックな踊りとステージングに度肝を抜かれた思い出がある。現在アリはジャマイカに住んでいて、新しいニュー・エイジ・ステッパーズ編成を目論んでいるらしい。

ARI UP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqtXS8hTtpc

*****Visit www.revelinnewyork.com for Ari's cultural suggestions in NYC and beyond.
The Slits are probably the single most important all-girl punk band in the history of music. A bold statement, we know, but certainly not a controversial one. As a 14 year old, Ari Up served as the band's flamboyant front woman and helped develop The Slits' pioneering punky reggae sound. She grew up in England surrounded by punk royalty. Her mother, who is married to John Lydon of the Sex Pistols, ran a sort of punk house, where it wasn't uncommon to have people like The Clash and Jimi Hendrix roll through.
After the demise of The Slits, Ari went on to form the New Age Steppers with Nenah Cherry and Mark Stewart of The Pop Group. She moved to Brooklyn in the eighties and later to Belize, where she lived naked in the jungles to escape the yuppie culture that the decade embraced. Recently, Ari recreated The Slits to pick up the band's unfinished mission to fight for musical expression, women, and cultural freedom. She splits her time between Flatbush, Brooklyn and Jamaica.
