SUMMARY:Reggae Industry Panel Discussion: The Gentrification of Jamaican Music
DESCRIPTION:Two weeks ahead of the 2nd annual iconic Reggae Genealogy music festival\, join Island SPACE Caribbean Museum for a panel discussion where industry experts will share their perspectives and personal experiences. \nTopic: The Gentrification of Jamaican Music \nJamaican music has always set trends and been a beacon for others to adapt and follow. Recently\, it seems that innovation in Jamaican music means following and adopting the trends of other genres\, so Jamaican music doesn’t seem so “original” any more. This discussion will explore how we got here\, whether this evolution is a positive or negative\, and how it might affect the future power of the Caribbean’s most recognized genre. \nPanelists \nOpinions will be shared by Ian Lewis of Inner Circle\, Grammy Award-winning producer Jason “J-Vibe” Farmer\, Vice President of Sales at VP Records Aaron Talbert\, selector and entrepreneur Supa Twitch\, and dancehall diva and influencer Tifa\, moderated by radio personality G Cole of the podcast Homegrown with G Cole. \nRSVP by clicking HERE. \nWe’ll see you there!
