Jamaica’s Reggae Month<br />
<strong>February</strong><br />
In 2015, Kingston was recognised by UNESCO as a City of Music <strong>—</strong> no<br />
surprise, as the Jamaican capital is the birthplace of reggae. In <strong>February</strong>,<br />
Jamaicans celebrate a month-long tribute to the world-shaking genre<br />
through a host of events, including concerts, music awards, symposiums,<br />
film festivals, and exhibitions. Activities to honour the birthdays of Bob<br />
Marley, and the “Crown Prince of Reggae,” Dennis Brown, will also take<br />
centre stage. And check out the new Peter Tosh Museum <strong>—</strong> see page 32<br />
of this issue.<br />
