Roy Ellis (Mr. Simaryp)
Se trata del artista jamaicano clásico que más actúa en
directo hoy en dia. Desde que volvió a los escenarios, en 2007, ha editado
cuatro discos en tres continentes diferentes y actuando por todo el mundo,
incluyendo paises como Japón, Méjico, USA, Colombia y por supuesto por todos
los rincones de Europa.
Un poco de historia:
Hubo un dia en que Roy Ellis decidió dejar Symarip para
dedicarse a la música gospel y soul, movió su residencia a Suiza y forjó una
carrera exitosa con apariciones en la televisión suiza siendo su presencia
solicitada en los eventos más grandes de la escena local. El resto de Symarip
no duró mucho tiempo más sin su cantante, compositor y líder, todos dejaron la
música excepto Monty Nyesmith que siguió su carrera en EE. UU.
Roy Ellis, que llevaba cantando gospel desde su más tierna
infancia en Jamaica, comenzó tocando el trombón en The Bees, un grupo de
instituto creado por los que más tarde serían The Pyramids o Symarip (leído al
revés). Pero pronto dejó el trombón para dedicarse a cantar y componer en la
banda, sus dotes de líder eran indiscutibles. Previamente Roy Ellis ya había
grabado unos cuantos singles rodeándose de otros grandes artistas, por entonces
no tan famosos, como Ernest Ranglin, Rico, Eddie Tan Tan, Sonny Bourke, Georgie
Fame y un largo etcétera, en los sellos que empezaban a lanzar música jamaicana
en UK como Ember, Bluebeat, Creole, Attack, Jay Boy, Treasure Sile, Rhino,
Duke, President, Dr. Bird ó Trojan así como multinacionales como Ariola ó EMI.
Laurel Aitken era el artista jamaicano más importante
residente en Inglaterra a finales de los 60 y su labor de embajador fue vital
para nuevo sonido Reggae que estaba naciendo. Apadrinó a The Pyramids y les
utilizó como banda para llevar de gira al Reino Unido a los nuevos artistas que
estaban rompiendo en Jamaica: Prince Buster, Toots & The Maytals, The Ethiopians,
Owen Gray, Desmond Dekker, Millie, Jackie Edwards, etc. y al mismo Laurel
Aitken, por supuesto. Laurel grabó algunos éxitos con The Pyramids, que fueron
publicados en Blue Beat, como ‘Jesee James’ ó ‘Because I Love You’.
En 1967 fue Eddy Grant, poco despues de disolver The
Equals, quien trabajó estrechamente con
The Pyramids grabando algunos clásicos como ‘Train Tour To Rainbow City’ y el
primer LP del grupo. Ellos no dejaban de actuar y grabar en estudio con jóvenes
artistas que estaban triunfando en Jamaica, si te fijas en los créditos de
algunos discos de la época verás The Pyramids entre los músicos de sesión de
algunos discos de Desmond Dekker o el LP de Millie ‘Time Will Tell’, ese que
sale sentada encima de una banana.
Pero el verdadero zambombazo lo dieron en 1969, ya como
Symarip, con el disco Skinhead Moonstomp, publicado por Trojan Records,
llegando a vender más de siete millones de copias hasta nuestros dias, nunca se
ha descatalogado, siempre ha estado en los primeros puestos de ventas de las
listas de Reggae durante casi 40 años. Trojan ha vendido más copias de este
disco que de cualquier otro título de su catálogo, incluyendo discos de Bob
Marley, Jimmy Cliff o Desmond Dekker.
El último concierto que Laurel Aitken dio en Suiza fue en
2004, Roy Ellis llevaba más de veinte años alejado de la escena Reggae pero no
pudo faltar a la cita, llevaba desde 1966 sin reencontrarse con Laurel y fue a
verle a los camerinos. Cuando se encontraron se dieron un fuerte abrazo y
Laurel se puso a llorar de la emoción. Empezó a decirle a Roy: tienes que
volver al Reggae, hay un montón de fans esperándote, todos quieren oír tus
viejas canciones. En la habitación había unos cuantos fans preguntando por
fotos y autógrafos y Laurel se dirigió a ellos diciendo: “¿Sabéis quién es este
tipo? es Roy Ellis, Mr. Symarip! el que escribió Must Catch A Train, Banana,
Stay With Him, etc.! Y vive aquí, en vuestra ciudad!”.
A la semana siguiente aquel grupo de fans había localizado
la casa de Roy Ellis y llamó a la puerta con la intención de convencerle para
que volviera a la escena Reggae, tras las presentaciones y varias horas de
conversaciones Roy Ellis llegó a la conclusión: “si el público quiere verme no
puedo fallarle”. En ese momento se produjo la vuelta al Reggae de Roy Ellis,
Mr. Symarip, y desde entonces, en un período de sólo tres años ha publicado un
LP en tres continentes distintos y ha actuado por Suiza, Alemania, Austria,
Holanda, España, Grecia, República Checa, Polonia, Japón, EE. UU., Colombia,
Mexico, Portugal, etc, etc.
Los temas de su disco de retorno a los escenarios son ya
clásicos de Reggae que el público corea en los conciertos que ofrece por todo
el mundo como si fueran los clásicos de 1969. Despues de algunos conciertos Roy
Ellis, todavía sorprendido por el rotundo triunfo, comenta a los más íntimos:
“soy una estrella del Reggae y no lo sabía, ¡cómo he podido vivir sin saberlo
todos estos años!”.

It's the
classic Jamaican artist that most acts live today in day. Since he returned to
the stage, in 2007, he has released four albums on three different continents
and acting all over the world, including countries such as Japan, Mexico, USA,
Colombia, and of course by all corners of Europe.
A little
history:
There was a
day when Roy Ellis decided to quit has to devote himself to music, gospel and
soul, moved his residence to Switzerland and forged a successful career with
the Swiss television appearances being his presence requested at the largest
events in the local scene. The rest of has not lasted long time more without
their singer, composer and bandleader, all let the music except for Monty
Nyesmith who continued his career in the United States. UU.
Roy Ellis,
who had been singing gospel since his early childhood in Jamaica, began playing
the trombone at The Bees, a group of Institute created by those who later would
be The Pyramids or has (read backwards). But soon left to devote himself to
sing and compose the band trombone, leader qualities were undisputed.
Previously Roy Ellis had already recorded a few singles surrounding himself
with other great artists, then not so famous, as Ernest Ranglin, Rico, Eddie
Tan Tan, Sonny Bourke, Georgie Fame and a long etcetera in the seals that began
releasing Jamaican music in the UK such as Ember, Bluebeat, Creole, Attack, Jay
Boy, Treasure Sile, Rhino, Duke, President, Dr. Bird or Trojan as well as
multinational as Ariola or EMI.
Laurel
Aitken was the most important Jamaican artist resident in England at the end of
the 1960s and his work of Ambassador was vital for new Reggae Sound that was
being born. It sponsored to The Pyramids and used them as a band on tour to the
United Kingdom to new artists who were breaking in Jamaica: Prince Buster,
Toots & The Maytals, The Ethiopians, Owen Gray, Desmond Dekker, Millie,
Jackie Edwards, etc. and the same Laurel Aitken, of course. Laurel recorded
some successes with The Pyramids, which were published in Blue Beat, such as
'Jesse James' or 'Because I Love You'.
In 1967 was
Eddy Grant, shortly after to dissolve The Equals, who worked closely with The
Pyramids recording classics such as 'Train Tour To Rainbow City' and the first
LP from the group. They wouldn't Act and recorded in Studio with young artists
who were triumphing in Jamaica, if you look at the credits of some discs of the
time you'll see The Pyramids from session musicians of some discs of Desmond
Dekker or Millie 'Time Will Tell', this LP coming out sitting on top of a
banana.
But given
the real bombshell in 1969, already has, as with the album Skinhead Moonstomp,
released by Trojan Records, selling over seven million copies until our days,
never has been discontinued, it has always been in the first positions of the
Reggae charts sales for almost 40 years. Trojan has sold more copies of this
album than any other title in its catalog, including Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff or
Desmond Dekker discs.
The last
concert given by Laurel Aitken in Switzerland was in 2004, Roy Ellis had more
than twenty years away from the Reggae scene but he could not miss the
appointment, had since 1966 without reunited with Laurel and was to see him in
the dressing rooms. When found were given a big hug and Laurel began to cry of
emotion. He began to say to Roy: you have to go back to Reggae, there are a lot
of fans waiting for you, everyone wants to hear your old songs. The room had a
few fans asking for photos and autographs and Laurel addressed them saying: 'do
you know who is this type? It is Roy Ellis, Mr. has! you wrote Must Catch A
Train, Banana, Stay With Him, etc.! And here, live in your city! "."
The
following week that group of fans had located the House of Roy Ellis and
knocked on the door with the intention of convincing him to return to the
Reggae scene, following the presentations and several hours of conversations
Roy Ellis came to the conclusion: "If the audience wants to see me not I
fail you". Return to the Reggae of Roy Ellis, Mr. has occurred in that
time and since then, in a period of only three years it has released an LP on
three different continents and has acted for Switzerland, Germany, Austria,
Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Czech Republic, Poland, Japan, USA. USA, Colombia,
Mexico, Portugal, etc, etc.
The themes
of their album, return to the stage are already classic reggae public Korea
concerts offered by everyone as if they were the classics from 1969. After some
gigs Roy Ellis, still surprised by the resounding victory, says the more
intimate: "I am a Reggae star and did not know it, as I have been able to
live without knowing it all these years!"
