Perjalanan Tony Q dan Rastafara Band
Oktober 15, 2007 oleh gimbal


Pria asal kota Semarang Jawa Tengah, terlahir dengan nama Tony Waluyo Sukmoasih. Memulai karir bermusiknya sejak tahun 1989 dengan band Roots Rock Reggae. Biasa manggung di kafe-kafe dan acara pentas musik yang ada di Jakarta. Setelah lama bongkar pasang dalam band reggae seperti: Exodus Band, Rastaman Band, akhirnya pada tahun 1994 Tony Q membentuk band yang cukup terkenal sebagai pengusung aliran musik reggae di Indonesia pada waktu itu, yaitu Rastafara. Bersama Rastafara Tony Q sempat merilis album “Rambut Gimbal” pada tahun 1996 dan “Gue Falling in Love” pada tahun 1997. Hampir semua lagu-lagu di album tsb diciptakan sendiri oleh Tony Q, lirik lagu-nya banyak bercerita tentang tema sosial-kemasyarakatan, perdamaian dan cinta.
Perbedaan Rastafara pada waktu itu dengan band-band reggae lainnya adalah karena mereka berhasil memasukkan dan memadukan unsur-unsur musik traditional dengan gaya khas Indonesia kedalam musiknya sehingga terbentuklah musik reggae ala Indonesia yang bisa terlepas dari bayang-bayang musik reggae dunia seperti Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Peter McIntosh atau Ziggy Marley. Penggunaan alat-alat musik tradisional seperti kendang Sunda dan Gamelan Jawa menambah warna musik Indonesia didalam lagu-lagu Rastafara. Dan pada aransemen
musiknya sepintas juga terlihat unsur-unsur musik melayu atau bahkan musik khas Sumatra Barat.
Pada tahun 1997 Rastafara memutuskan untuk vakum dalam bermusik, hingga akhirnya Tony Q memutuskan untuk membentuk band baru dengan nama New Rastafara. Maka pada tahun 1998 terbentuklah Tony Q and New Rastafara, dengan format additional palyer. Tetapi kemudian Tony Q memutuskan untuk bersolo karir dengan tetap membawa nama band-nya Tony Q Rastafara, yang berhasil merilis album pada tahun 2000 yaitu “Damai Dengan Cinta”.

BOB MARLEY lyrics - “Redemption Song”

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the ‘and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.

Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
‘Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.


BOB MARLEY lyrics - “Waiting In Vain”

I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t’rough.
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line,
But the waitin’ feel is fine:
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string,
‘Cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb;
I wanna know when you’re gonna come - soon.
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love,
‘Cause if summer is here,
I’m still waiting there;
Winter is here,
And I’m still waiting there.

Like I said:
It’s been three years since I’m knockin’ on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there’s lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting - while I’m waiting for my turn,
See!


BOB MARLEY lyrics - “Three Little Birds”

“Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”

Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, (”This is my message to you-ou-ou:”)

Singin’: “Don’t worry ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”
Singin’: “Don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing,
‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right!”

Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, “This is my message to you-ou-ou:”

Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don’t worry!”
Singin’: “Don’t worry about a thing” - I won’t worry!
“‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.”


BOB MARLEY lyrics - “No Woman No Cry”

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

‘Cause - ’cause - ’cause I remember when a we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the ‘ypocrites - yeah! -
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way, yeah!
In this great future, you can’t forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh. Yeah!

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry. Eh, yeah!
A little darlin’, don’t shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry. Eh!

Said - said - said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown, yeah!
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
I seh, logwood burnin’ through the nights, yeah!
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, say,
Of which I’ll share with you, yeah!
My feet is my only carriage
And so I’ve got to push on through.
Oh, while I’m gone,
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right-a!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything’s gonna be all right!

So no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
I seh, O little - O little darlin’, don’t shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry, eh.


BOB MARLEY lyrics - “I Shot The Sheriff”

(I shot the sheriff
But I didn’t shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn’t shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! All around in my home town,
They’re tryin’ to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

Reff*
Oh, now, now. Oh!
(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in selfdefence.)
Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!
I say: I shot the sheriff - Oh, Lord! -
(And they say it is a capital offence.)
Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what, I don’t know:
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow -
He said kill them before they grow.
And so:

Reff**
Read it in the news:
(I shot the sheriff.) Oh, Lord!
(But I swear it was in self-defence.)
Where was the deputy? (Oo-oo-oh)
I say: I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (Oo-oh) Yeah!

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say:
If I am guilty I will pay.

Back to Reff*

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.


BOB MARLEY lyrics - “Africa Unite”

Ziya-po ya-ya, pa-pa-ya-pa!
Ti-da-lee, na po-po pu-du-loo!
Ste-na-peh na-na po po-ro po!
Africa unite:
‘Cause we’re moving right out of Babylon,
And we’re going to our Father’s land, yea-ea.

How good and how pleasant it would be before God and man, yea-eah! -
To see the unification of all Africans, yeah! -
As it’s been said a’ready, let it be done, yeah!
We are the children of the Rastaman;
We are the children of the Iyaman.

So-o, Africa unite:
‘Cause the children (Africa unite) wanna come home.
Africa unite:
‘Cause we’re moving right out of Babylon, yea,
And we’re grooving to our Father’s land, yea-ea.

How good and how pleasant it would be before God and man
To see the unification of all Rastaman, yeah.
As it’s been said a’ready, let it be done!
I tell you who we are under the sun:
We are the children of the Rastaman;
We are the children of the Iyaman.

So-o: Africa unite,
Afri - Africa unite, yeah!
Unite for the benefit (Africa unite) for the benefit of your people!
Unite for it’s later (Africa unite) than you think!
Unite for the benefit (Africa unite) of my children!
Unite for it’s later (Africa uniting) than you think!
Africa awaits (Africa unite) its creators!
Africa awaiting (Africa uniting) its Creator!
Africa, you’re my (Africa unite) forefather cornerstone!
Unite for the Africans (Africa uniting) abroad
Unite for the Africans (Africa unite) a yard!
