 Hey BRM fans! I recently found a listing of the leading reggae festivals around the world. As you continue your musical journey in the world of Reggae, on behalf of everyone here @BigReggaeMix, I sincerely hope you find this of help to you! This is a list of notable reggae festivals by country. This list may have some overlap with list of jam band music festivals.Reggae festivals may include classic reggaeand related or derivative genres such as ska,dancehall, dub, hip hop, ragga, reggae fusion, and drum and bass. Reggae originated inJamaica in the late 1960s, influenced by Rastafarian culture, Jamaican dance music, traditional mento and calypso music, as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues, and evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady. By the 1970s, large festivals in Jamaica were being held featuring notable reggae bands, and theWonder Dream Concert in 1975 in Jamaica was one of the first internationally noted festivals to focus on reggae. In 1979 Reggae Geel became the first reggae festival in Europe, and these concerts soon spread to other locales, becoming popular in regions such as Northern California. With the introduction of the electronic reggae genre ragga in the 1980s, reggae began to be featured at electronic music festivals as well. http://bit.ly/2iGxTIY

Thank you all so much for your commitment and dedication to our station.  We work tirelessly to make sure that our programming is in synch with all things Reggae. Our average listening time is way up to 3 hours and 41 minutes per listener per day. We have one listener who averages 12 hours a day. Over eighty per cent of our listeners outside of the USA drive and influence our programming which makes us so happy as we stream out of San Diego, California.  Written by Mitch Santell Producer / Co-founder It always refreshes me to learn of a "pop song" that has transformed into a Reggae version of the song. The “Bad Boys” of reggae, veteran band Inner Circle, will celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2018, and their latest single, fittingly, is a cover a 50-year-old song, The Doors’ “Light My Fire.” The reggae remake of the rock classic (produced by Inner Circle, released on DubShot Records/SoundBwoy Entertainment) features Samoan American reggae star J Boog and Jamaican dancehall sensation Konshens -- and it developed from a bout of insomnia. Written by Mitch Santell Producer / Co-founder Big Reggae Mix is committed to serving our audience and our community. On behalf of our entire team here @BigReggae mix we wish to apologize for our streaming outage that hit our servers at 9:01 PM last night. Our stream company is ProStreaming, and they did a great job of staying in touch with us. Yes, I will admit, our stream has been down before but never for 9 hours. So why did we lose our station? We found out this morning that their data center in Texas had a power outage and was able to recover quickly.  A very special thank you to Wes Curtis at ProStreaming Networks who was on the spot with updates! Our station continues to grow organically. While we stream globally out of our studio in San Diego, a huge chunk, like over 80% of our listeners are overseas. So Thank you for hanging in there with us. Jah Bless!  Our Listener's @BigReggaeMix in Europe at 3 AM Written by Mitch Santell Producer / Co-founder The past few months for us producer's and creators has been a roller coaster ride as we attempt to gain clarity on what the hell is going on with music streaming. Are you as confused as we are? The answer for me as the Co-founder of @BigReggaeMix and the Producer for the station is "Are you people crazy?" The reason for the confusion has a lot to do how people are paid, how streams are calculated and who gets the lion share of income. The confusion partially is the battle between the performance rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, SoundExchange and others. Here are three articles that will give you further insights on this: SPOTIFY IS SET TO END 2017 WITH 70M SUBSCRIBERS AND $5BN IN REVENUE. BUT HOW MUCH MONEY WILL IT LOSE? http://bit.ly/2uujYWT  |
