Sun Island Jamaica endorses Reggae Month

Reggae Month is recognized worldwide in the month of February, and being in the birthplace of Reggae (Jamaica) it was only right that we make our contribution to pay homage to the great music genre.
Sun Island Jamaica again partnered with the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA), who organized the month-long festivities for the 8th year, contributing our reggae polo shirts decorated with embroidered logos and reggae trim t-shirts.

JaRIA hosted a weekly Open University was held at the Edna Manley College of Visual & Performing Arts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with guest speakers coming on-board to hold creative conversations involving Jamaica’s music industry. A music symposium, film screenings and reasoning sessions with reggae icons were also staged at the college.

For night-time entertainment, a free weekly event at Mandela Park in the busy centre of Half Way Tree, St. Andrew called Reggae Wednesday which treated patrons to excellent performances. The star-studded line up throughout the month consisted of great names such as Leroy Sibbles, Half Pint, Capleton and more.

The month was rightfully closed with the JaRIA Honour Awards ceremony at the Courtleigh Auditorium recognizing twenty-five reggae greats, from producers to sound systems to artistes. As a continued partner, Sun Island was invited to the occasion and our head office Sales Manager had the honour of presenting Jack Scorpio of Black Scorpio Sound System with his award.

We are happy to have been on-board for yet another Reggae Month celebration. Thank you and well done to the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association. Reggae mek yah!
