Le monde de la musique pleure l\u2019un de ses g\u00e9ants : Jimmy Cliff, ic\u00f4ne plan\u00e9taire du reggae, s\u2019est \u00e9teint \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 81 ans des suites d\u2019une pneumonie, ont rapport\u00e9 lundi plusieurs m\u00e9dias citant sa famille.
N\u00e9 en 1944 dans un foyer modeste, James Chambers, de son vrai nom, aura marqu\u00e9 plus d\u2019un demi-si\u00e8cle de sc\u00e8ne en fa\u00e7onnant un style unique, nourri de soul, de ska, de funk, de punk et de folk, sans jamais renoncer \u00e0 son engagement politique.
Artiste complet et infatigable, il puise dans les univers de Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Fats Domino ou encore Jimi Hendrix pour b\u00e2tir une \u0153uvre intemporelle.
Parmi ses titres l\u00e9gendaires figurent les incontournables \u00ab Many Rivers to Cross \u00bb, \u00ab The Harder They Come \u00bb ou \u00ab Reggae Night \u00bb, des morceaux devenus des hymnes, qui lui valent d\u2019int\u00e9grer en 2010 le prestigieux Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jimmy Cliff a toujours ancr\u00e9 sa musique dans la d\u00e9nonciation des injustices et la c\u00e9l\u00e9bration de l\u2019espoir.
\u00ab L\u2019essence de ma musique est la lutte, sa touche finale est l\u2019espoir de l\u2019amour \u00bb, confiait-il un jour.
Collaborateur recherch\u00e9, il partagera la sc\u00e8ne et les studios avec des artistes de renom comme The Clash, Kool and the Gang, Sting, Annie Lennox ou encore Bernard Lavilliers.
Sa chanson \u00ab Vietnam \u00bb lui vaut l\u2019admiration de Bob Dylan et Paul Simon. Sa cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 d\u00e9borde \u00e9galement vers le cin\u00e9ma, notamment avec les films \u00ab The Harder They Come \u00bb et \u00ab Rasta Rocket \u00bb, qui renforcent son identit\u00e9 artistique.
Avec sa disparition, c\u2019est une voix majeure et un esprit libre du reggae mondial qui s\u2019efface, laissant derri\u00e8re lui un h\u00e9ritage musical inestimable.
