Britain & Reggae: A Special 50 Year History
Host: Kwaku

Venue: Hackney Museum

Date: June 13, 6-7.30pm

As part of marking Reggae @ 50, and a reminder of International Reggae Day, history and music consultant Kwaku presents a personal reflection of Britain’s pivotal role in the development of reggae music. Indeed, he posits that without British input, the Jamaican music industry would not have developed to the extent that it has, nor would reggae have become the international phenomenon that it has become.

The presentation is interspersed with footage from his documentary ‘Britain’s Contribution To The Development Of Reggae’. The presentation will also include a short mix of key British reggae, followed by a Q&A session.
