History on the International Reggae Day 💚💛❤️
Andrea Davis of Jamaica Arts Holdings founded International Reggae Day. Her 1991 visit to Kingston inspired her to start the annual event. During Davis’ visit, she heard a speech made by the South African leader, Winnie Mandela. He discussed the impact reggae music had as people in South Africa fought for equal rights during Apartheid. The first International Reggae Day was held on July 1st, 1994.
July 1 celebrates International Reggae Day on the National Day Calendar. This National Day celebrates reggae culture and its influence on Jamaican music.
Reggae developed in the 1960s and evolved into a popular style of music. With its roots in Jamaica, Reggae music is an integral part of the Jamaican culture. It is a mix of rhythm & blues, calypso, African, and Latin American music.

A heavy four-beat rhythm characterizes reggae music. These beats are carried out by drums, congas, bass guitars, and electric guitars. Another popular instrument in reggae music is the scraper. A scraper is a corrugated stick that the musician rubs with a plain stick.
By the 1970s, reggae music became known around the world. The style of music was especially popular in the United States, Great Britain, and Africa. Many people say that reggae music serves as a voice for the oppressed.
Some of the greatest reggae songs of all time include:
“No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley and the Wailers
“Funky Kingston” by Toots & the Maytals
“Montego Bay” by Freddie Notes & the Rudies
“Many Rivers to Cross” by Jimmy Cliff
“The Tide is High” by the Paragons
“Red Red Wine” by UB40
“I Shot the Sherriff” by Bob Marley and the Wailers
“Revolution” by Dennis Brown
“Love is My Religion” by Ziggy Marley
“Hold Me Tight” by Johnny Nash
Bob Marley and the Wailers are considered the most iconic reggae artists ever and are credited for bringing reggae music to the international stage.
Every year on July 1, Kinston, Jamaica, hosts the International Reggae Festival. Around the world, cities also hold Reggae concerts in celebration of the day. Some of these cities include The Bahamas, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and Columbia.
Don’t despair if no reggae concerts are in your area on this day, you can still participate. Listen to reggae music. Search for reggae videos online. Watch a documentary, such as Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music or Roots, Reggae, Rebellion.

Sam Fan Thomas (born Samuel Thomas Ndonfeng, April 1952, Bafoussam, Cameroon) is a Cameroonian musician associated with Makossa. 🎧🎶 He began in the late 1960s and had his first hit with "Rikiatou". His "African Typic Collection" was an international hit in 1984 and is perhaps his best known work. Thomas began his career in the early 1970s as a guitarist in the Cameroonian band Tigres Noires. He stayed with that band until 1976, when he launched his solo career
He started his musical career in 1968 when he joined The Black Tigers, led by the blind musician, Andre Marie Tala. He stayed with Tala for eight years, recording several singles. The band also recorded in Paris and toured Senegal and other African countries. During this period Tala developed his own tchamassi rhythm, a modern music style based on Bamileke folklore. 🎤🎷
In 1976, his first solo LP was Funky New Bell, recorded in Benin on the Satel label. A second LP, on the same label, followed in 1977. On that album, he was supported by the Black Santiagos from Benin. His third release came in 1982 in Nigeria, with the hit song "Rikiatou", which established his reputation in Cameroon. In 1983, Thomas travelled to Paris to record Makassi. Makassi is the name of Thomas' own music style, a type of uptempo makossa blended with a touch of Andre Marie Tala's tchamassi and other bamileke influences. The album contained the hit song, "African Typic Collection". This song built around the melody of the Franco song, "Boma l'heure", and became an international dance floor hit, with sales across Africa, France and the West Indies, where it was also released as a 12-inch single. Makassi brought Thomas a golden disc in 1984 and was followed by his fifth album, Neng Makassi in 1985. The album retained the sophisticated production of Makassi, without matching his greatest hit. In 1986, he released two albums, Funk Makassi and Makassi Plus. Together with "African Typic Collection", two tracks off Makassi Plus were released in 1987 on a compilation album by the British Earthworks record label. Makassi Plus was followed in 1988 by Makassi Again, which was distributed internationally by the Celluloid record label. Thomas also toured with his band MBC (Makassi Band Corporation) in West and East Africa, Europe and the Americas.
From the early 1990s, Thomas changed his focus from recording his own material, to promotion and guiding new talented Cameroonian singers and musicians. He gathered talented musicians, including the late Kotto Bass, Ebelle Jeannot, K. Godefroy, Fabo Claude, Guy Bilong and Tala Jeannot, at Makassi Plus Studio in Douala. He released a string of records from various artists during the 1990s. Thomas released new material in 1993's Emotion and 1999's No Satisfaction. Neither of these CDs brought him the success of his earlier work.
He performed successful shows in Nairobi (2007), the US (2009) and Abidjan (2010).

Le peuple Mafa
Les #Mafa ou quelquefois Matakam sont une population d’Afrique centrale, surtout présente à l’extrême nord du Cameroun, également au Nigeria.
#Cameroun #Nigéria #Mafa #matakam
Le peuple mafa est constitué de plusieurs groupes qui se distinguent par leurs accents. Avec les Kapsiki, les Mofu, les Guiziga, les Mada, les Mahtal, les Zulgo, les Podoko, les Mouyeng, ils composent l’essentiel de ce que les Mandara (ethnie islamisée habitant la plaine et quelques contreforts des Monts Mandara) appellent vulgairement les Kirdis ou peuples païens. Ils sont connus pour avoir été les premiers en contact avec le colonisateur allemand.
#Kapsiki #mofu #guiziga #mada #mahtal #zulgo
Selon les sources et le contexte, on observe plusieurs formes : Bulahai, Mafahay, Mafa, Matakam, Matakams, Mofa, Natakan, Wula2. Selon Jean-Yves Martin en 1970, les Mafa seraient un sous-groupe des Matakam, aux côtés des Boulahai (habitant aux environs de Mokolo et des Mabass (habitant le village du même nom) qui partagent la même langue, des Hidé (langue commune avec les Mafa) et des Minéo.
#1970s #mineo
Au-delà d’une proximité linguistique pour les quatre premiers groupes, le nom commun de Matakam résulterait de l’appropriation d’un sobriquet initialement donné par les Peuls (ou Foulbé) et traduirait une revendication identitaire. En 2008, pour Zacharie Perevet, qui se revendique Mafa, l’ethnonyme « Matakam » est une appellation péjorative qui regroupe les quatre premiers sous-groupes décrits par Jean-Yves Martin, qu’il identifie tous comme Mafa.
