Aswad ("Noir" en Arabe) est un groupe de reggae anglais, connu pour avoir amené de fortes influences R&B et soul à la musique reggae. Ils jouent depuis le milieu des années 70 et ont sorti un total de 21 albums.

Sommaire

Historique

En tant qu'enfants naturalisés d'immigrants caribéens, ils furent emmenés à Londres à la suite de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ils fréquentèrent un lycée local près de Ladbroke Grove.

Les membres originaux d'Aswad étaient Brinsley Forde, George Oban, Angus "Drummie Zeb" Gaye, et Donald Griffiths. Courtney Hemmings était un collaborateur régulier dans les années 1970, il a notamment participé, en tant que musicien, au concert de Burning Spear de 1977, enregistré au Rainbow Theatre de Londres, alors qu'Aswad était le backing band. Vin Gordon, Bongo Levi et Karl Pitterson ont aussi joués avec Aswad[1].

Ils sont devenus numéro 1 du top des artistes reggae anglais avec des chansons, typiques de l'époque, sur l'opression de la jeunesse noire, comme "Three Babylon" et "It's Not Our Wish", et le puissant instrumental aux influences jazz "Warrior Charge" (les versions complètes de ces chansons sont disponibles sur l'album Showcase).

Aswad a élargi son audience avec l'album New Chapter (1981). Love Fire a obtenu une grande reconnaissance en étant utilisé comme instrumental de "Promised Land" de Dennis Brown.

Parmi le catalogue de hit d'Aswad figure "Don't Turn Around", un hit pop classé n°1 en Angleterre en 1988, enregistré à l'origine par Tina Turner sur la face B de son single "Typical Male". Ils continuèrent avec un hit classé n°11 en Angleterre : "Give A Little Love", et une version reggae de "Best of My Love" du groupe The Emotions. En 1989, ils participent à l'album Greenpeace Rainbow Warriors avec le single "Set Them Free". La même année, ils jouent avec Sir Cliff Richard sur la chanson "Share A Dream", enregistrée l'année précédente, au stade Wembley au cours du spectacle "The Event" (16 et 17 juin 1989). Leur hit suivant, "Shine", parait en 1994. Ils joueront aussi une reprise de Invisible Sun de The Police, avec Sting.

Le groupe a aussi joué avec chacun des ex-Wailers.

Aswad a sorti sa plus récente production en 2009 avec l'album City Lock. Ils ont sorti les singles "What Is Love ?" et "Do That Thing" la même année[2].
