Fresno to get a blast of reggae
By Jeff Pnbble
Staff Writer *»
Reggae — the music with Jamaican-
Caribbean roots — sheltered for decades.
is coming back to Fresno.
Thc California Institute for Pan-African
Studies (CIPAS) is bringing reggae to
Fresno Saturday.
CI PAS is a non-profit organization
composed of CSUF alumni. Member
Sakura Konc. a disc-jockey on FM stations
KSJ V and K N PO. said the concert tomor¬
row will promote culture in Fresno.
"Culture in Fresno isn't there." said
Kone. "Popular talents brought here would
not only highlight their own talent but
would  expose local  talents as well ar

culture." Kone said CIPAS promotes
theater, art', and poetry as well as reggae.
He said CIPAS is trying to educate the
public arwell as expose the local populace
to'cultural diversity.
Kone. and KFSR disc-jockey Bill Har¬
vey collaborated to bring local band Let's
Go Bowling and thc "rootsey. indigenous
sound"of Rankin'Scrooand Sister Ginger
together in concert.
Harvey, a CSUF music major and
manager of let's Go Bowling said this is
the first major reggae show in l-resno in
two years. He described his band's sound
as "a cross between The English Beat and
The Monkees." He called Rankin" Scroo
"one ol" the best reggae bands in Cali¬
fornia."
"Reggae has been an underground sound
supportive of the black culture." Harvey
said. Kone agreed. saying"Reggac has thc
same themes as popular music, yet it goes
beyond that into real-life experiences.,
lyrics may tell of what it's like to work on a
job you don't like.
"Reggae today is left of the dial. It is
relegated to public and college radio sta¬
tions." Kone said.
"UB40. Fine Young Cannibals. Ihe
Blow Monkees and'even General Public-
have helped bring reggae back. Jimmy
Cliff won a Grammy Award this past
year." Harvey said. "Reggae is coming out
of the underground."

Let's Go Bowling opens the show with
what trumpeter Pete Nicholson calls a
"1960s ska English Beat sound." The I
band plays danceable cover tunes from
the Colour Field favorites "Shout" and
"l.o*iie. Louie"that pack highschooldance
floors. Nicholson said. Harvey said that
Let's Go Bowling has a lot of potential in
Fresno because they play for enjoyment,
not money.
Rankin' Scroo and Sister Ginger will
play selections from their album Thanks
anil Praises which has had success on
college radio stations. Harvey said some
earlier reggae shows at the Wild Blue
night club seemed forced. Rankin'Scroo's
appeal is in his sincerity. Harvey said.
"His rhythum is great, spiritual, dance-
able. His lyrics tell of blacks and all
people, past and present." Kone said of
Scroo. "His Jamaican hciitage and his
band 'Ridim' capture a sensiti\e reggae
background."
/
Neither Kone nor Harvey expect to see
maior reggae acts like Jimmy Clifl or Steel
Pulse in Fresno soon. Kone said CIPAS is
doing all they can to promote "Let's Go
Bowjing" because thev have some fine
talent.
Rankin' Scroo and Let's Go Bowling
will perform Dec. 6 at K p m in the
Eagle's Hall at 152S Van Ness.
