It is Summer, and countries across the Caribbean diaspora have lifted their pandemic mandates. Yet, even though it is scorching hot, we have to remind ourselves that it is hurricane season. But I am not just talking about the hurricane that is a natural disaster. I am referring to the hurricane season where artistes flood the airwaves with new music, hoping that they will be the supplier of the vibe for the summer. In this issue of CEM, we explore how artistes like our cover man Jah Vinci, remain consistent in the eye of the storm, by supplying hit after hit at the peak of the pandemic and beyond.
We are also seeing a spark in the entertainment sector, where artistes and influencers are visiting the island of Jamaica, and highlighting its rich culture and contribution to the music world. We explore that and more with DJ Khaled, as we discuss the impact this has on tourism, and the global influence of Reggae and Dancehall.
