Rock Against Racism
In 1976 Rock Against Racism was founded in response to rising racist attacks in the UK. The far-right national front had become the fourth largest party in Britain. The catalyst was a series of racist statements made by Eric Clapton in August of 1976. The anti-fascist campaign fought the national front with mass action to take public platforms out of the hands of the party. The fest aimed to unite people through music. As one of their slogans stated “Reggae, Soul, Rock n Roll, Jazz, Funk and Punk” artists were going to come together in defiance of racism. That being said, the fest is widely known for reggae and punk bands playing alongside one another. This is one of the ways reggae influenced punk and the emerging 2 tone ska scene. The original movement spanned from 1976 to 1982 and helped spawn like minded collectives and concerts internationally in the following years. It was also the topic of Bob Marley’s “Punky Reggae Party”. Tonight we’ll hear a set from some of the punk bands that participated.
