Rasta and Reggae Music

Rasta forms the base of reggae music, the vehicle that artists such as Bob Marley used to spread Rasta thought all over the world. This indigenous music grew from ska, which had elements of American R&B and Caribbean styles. It also drew from folk music, Pocomania church music, Jonkanoo fife and drum bands, fertility rituals, adaptations of quadrilles, plantation work songs, and a form called mento. Nyahbingi is the purest form of music played at Rasta meetings or grounations. It uses three hand drums of different sizes, the bass, the funde and the repeater. (An archetypal example of nyahbingi is the three LP set from Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari.) "Roots" reggae explores the themes of the suffering of ghetto dwellers, slavery in Babylon, Haile Selassie as a living deity, and the hoped-for return to Africa.

South to South Film Festival

Masih ingat South to South Film Festival (StoS)

Ya, ini festival film yang mengabarkan bagaimana potret negara-negara selatan - kaya sumber daya alam, tapi malah miskin. Januari tahun lalu, JATAM & Kelir Nusantara menggelar StoS sebagai upaya menyediakan informasi alternatif bagi publik luas, khususnya perkotaan mengenai potret eksploitasi tambang pada kawasan hulu, terpencil di negara-negara selatan, macam Papa Nugini, Ekuador, Thailand, dan Indonesia.
