Sister Rosetta Tharpe, famous in the 1930s for her upbeat electric guitar playing style, is the original godmother of rock and roll music. She was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, and recognized for her contributions in paving the way for other artists in the industry.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was born in 1915, grew up in a small town in Arkansas. Raised in the Pentecostal church, she honed her talent in music during tent revivals and church gatherings.

In the 1930s, she started making a name when she moved to New York, where she performed in the city's nightclubs. In 1938, she became famous for her record called "Rock Me." Her 1945 recording "Strange Things Happening Every Day" is considered the first gospel song that bridged the "race" (later called "R&B") charts after it reached number two.

Her fame was sustained until the 1950s when she could fill arenas with thousands of fans who want to watch her perform on stage with her electric guitar.

By the 1960s, a new generation of musicians seemed to have overshadowed her fame. Still, she went to Europe to perform for new audiences in London and Liverpool.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe died in 1973 at the age of 58. Even though her name was somehow forgotten by most people, her influence is very much alive.

"She influenced Elvis Presley, she influenced Johnny Cash, she influenced Little Richard," says Tharpe's biographer Gayle Wald. "She influenced innumerable other people who we recognize as foundational figures in rock and roll."

She was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame on May 5, 2018 for her essential role in the industry.

"Without Sister Rosetta Tharpe, rock and roll would be a different music," according to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website. "She is the founding mother who gave rock's founding fathers the idea."

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, famosa durante la década de 1930 por su estilo animado de tocar la guitarra eléctrica, es la madrina original del rock and roll (rocanrol). Se le indujo al salón de la fama del Rock and Roll en el 2018 y se le reconoció por sus contribuciones en pavimentar el camino para otros artistas en la industria.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, quién nació en el año 1915, creció en una pequeña ciudad en Arkansas. Criada en la iglesia Pentecostal, ella perfeccionó su talento musical durante avivamientos en carpas y reuniones de la iglesia.

En los 1930, comenzó a darse a conocer cuando se mudó a Nueva York, donde hacía presentaciones en los clubes nocturnos de la ciudad. En 1938, se hizo famosa por su canción llamada “Rock Me”. Su grabación de "Strange Things Happening Every Day", hecha en 1945, es considerada la primera canción góspel combinado o unida con “race” (luego llamado R&B). La canción llegó a segunda posición en las carteleras.

Su fama se sostuvo hasta la década de 1950, cuando solía llenar estadios con miles de fanáticos que querían verla en el escenario con su guitarra eléctrica.

Para los 1960, su fama fue opacada por una nueva generación de artistas. Aún así, se fue a Europa para hacer presentaciones a nuevas audiencias en Londres y Liverpool.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe falleció en 1973 a la edad de 58 años. Aunque su nombre fue olvidado por muchas personas, aún así su influencia estaba muy viva.

“Ella influenció a Elvis Presley, ella influenció a Johnny Cash, ella influenció a Little Richard” dijo el biógrafo de Tharpe, Gayle Wald. “Influenció a innumerables personas que hoy reconocemos como figuras fundacionales del rock and roll (rocanrol).”

Fue incluida póstumamente en el salón de la fama del Rock & Roll el 5 de mayo del 2018 por su papel esencial en la industria.

“Sin Sister Rosetta Tharpe, el rock and roll sería una música diferente”, según el sitio web del Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll. “Ella es la madre fundadora que le dio la idea a los padres fundadores del rock”.

Reminders of their greatness stand grim and barren alone and useless over vast expanses The entirety of their race was brainwashed by scare tactics Unable to see any truth under a veil of distraction Fear echoes strongly in this nuclear wasteland..

History of Black Music Genres

Reggae is one the most globally recognised music genres and its history springs from the social upheaval in post-war Jamaica. Reggae itself is a fusion of different musical eras and styles, coupled with a message of unity and hope. Jamaica was colonised by Spain, in the 1500s, and then Britain in 1655.

Enslaved people were transported from Africa to work on the country's sugar plantations. The resulting mix of cultures contributed to the growth of an identifiable Jamaican sound.

When reggae started out in Jamaica around the late 1960s, it was considered a mixture of many genres including Jamaican Mento and contemporary Jamaican Ska music, along with American jazz and rhythm and blues.

Besides its sound, reggae music is frequently associated with the common themes in its lyrics. The earliest reggae lyrics spoke mostly of love, specifically romantic love between a man and a woman.

In the 1970s, reggae started taking on a heavy Rastafarian influence, this meant that the music was not just about romantic love but also spiritual love for God or "Jah". During this period reggae music about rebellion and revolution was also made as response to the extreme violence, poverty, racism, and government oppression that many were witnessing or experiencing on a regular basis.

Today reggae music has spurred the innovation of a whole new range of musical styles, like modern Jamaican Dub, and been infused into many other popular genres, like hip-hop and rap. Reggae has also been added to the UNESCO cultural heritage list.

Historia de Géneros Musicales Negros

El reggae es uno de los géneros musicales más reconocido globalmente y su historia nace de la agitación social en una Jamaica posguerra. El Reggae es una fusión de diferentes estilos y eras musicales, combinado con un mensaje de esperanza y unidad. Jamaica fue colonizada por España en los 1500 y luego por Bretaña en 1655.

Las personas esclavizadas estaban siendo traídas de África, para trabajar en las plantaciones de azúcar. El resultado de la mezcla de culturas contribuyó al crecimiento de un sonido jamaiquino identificable.

Cuando el Reggae comenzó en Jamaica a finales de los 1960, era considerado un mezcla de muchos géneros incluyendo Mento Jamaiquino y Ska Contemporáneo, junto con Jazz Americano y Rhythm y Blues.

Aparte de su sonido, el Reggae es frecuentemente asociado con los temas encontrados en su lírica. En las etapas tempranas del Reggae, la mayor parte de la lírica era sobre el amor, específicamente amor romántico entre un hombre y una mujer.

En los 1970, el reggae comenzó a tener una fuerte influencia rastafari, lo que significaba que la música no se trataba solo del amor romántico, sino también del amor espiritual por Dios o "Jah". Durante este período, también se hizo música reggae sobre rebelión y revolución como respuesta a la violencia extrema, la pobreza, el racismo y la opresión gubernamental que muchos presenciaban o experimentaban de manera regular.

Hoy en día, la música Reggae ha estimulado la innovación de toda una nueva gama de estilos musicales, como el dub jamaiquino moderno, y se ha fusionado con muchos otros géneros populares, como el hip-hop y el rap. El reggae también ha sido agregado a la lista del patrimonio cultural de la UNESCO.

Melanin and Motherland. A whole performance going on…I look to my right and saw this beautiful profile and these earrings and was so captivated and focused. This person wasn’t posing, wasn’t minding me at all. I got this shot really quick before they moved and when i went back to look at the photo I realized how many other little nuances were captured as well - the smoke, the fist - a real moment in time. 🕺🏾 🕺🏾 🕺🏾 #lostinriddim #music #livemusic #liveevents #dancehall #afrobeats #photography #documentaryphotography #eventphotography #sacramento #bayarea #afromusicmatters #blackmusicmatters (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU28w28BGCl/?utm_medium=tumblr
