International Reggae Day Celebration |
|
|
|
In 1994, the first of July (JULY ONE) was declared International Reggae Day in honour of the day Bob Marley, one of the most important artists and communicators of this music, was born. Since then, the Day is commemorated in several cities throughout the world.
Jamaica, the birthplace of this music genre, celebrates International Reggae Day with activities highlighting the cultural contribution and influence of this rhythm in the country and in a great part of the world.
Radio and TV stations will broadcast songs of this genre, as well as programmes and interviews on its development inside and outside the country since the 1960s, the decade when this music genre first came into being.
This year International Reggae Day will be celebrated in numerous cities of the five continents.
