Abstract

Abstract:Against the backdrop of the global circulation of reggae and dancehall music, the article argues that the emergence of these genres in Germany resulted from multidirectional collaborations among musicians in Germany, Jamaica, and other places. Focusing on Gentleman and Seeed, Germany's two most successful reggae artists, the article examines specific aesthetic forms and cultural practices as sites of multidirectionality and collaborative practice, such as the riddim, the feature song, the use of Jamaican Patois, and the journey to Jamaica. In the German case, the global dissemination and appropriation of Jamaican popular music resulted in the formulation of heterogeneous visions of transnational communities related to collaborative musical practices. At the same time, the article explains Gentleman's and Seeed's appropriation of this Black popular music culture as responses to their experiences in postwall Germany.

多向性与合作实践:德国与牙买加之间的雷鬼和舞厅音乐
摘要:在雷鬼和舞厅音乐在全球传播的背景下,本文认为雷鬼和舞厅音乐在德国的出现是德国、牙买加等地音乐家多向合作的结果。本文以德国两位最成功的雷鬼艺术家Gentleman和Seeed为重点,考察了作为多向性和合作实践场所的特定美学形式和文化实践,例如riddim、特色歌曲、牙买加方言的使用以及牙买加之旅。在德国的案例中,牙买加流行音乐的全球传播和挪用导致了与合作音乐实践相关的跨国社区的异质愿景的形成。同时,文章解释了Gentleman和Seeed对这种黑人流行音乐文化的挪用,作为他们在后柏林墙德国经历的回应。
