This event will take the form of a live conversation between invited popular Caribbean dance practitioners, researchers, producers and educators. Guests will share insights from their experience in the field and discuss pressing topics affecting Caribbean dance communities today. The event will be focused around a series of questions concerning the real-life impacts of the pandemic on the sector and Caribbean dance's relationship to decolonial and anti-racist agendas.

The event will be open to the public to participate as listeners/viewers and take part in break-out room discussions around specific themes. In creating this space for exchange, the event aims to support network connectivity between the participants and the development of future relationships and collaborations.

We pause to pay full tribute to The Originator, Ew

We pause to pay full tribute to The Originator, Ewart Beckford O.D., Daddy U-Roy - Sept. 21, 1942 to February 17, 2021. Known for hits like Wake the Town, Rule the Nation and Wear You to the Ball, Daddy U-Roy was an iconic toaster and a Jamaican Dancehall Deejay pioneer whose career began in the early 1960s. His Version Galore album released by Trojan Records in 1970 shifted the paradigm of Jamaica's musical landscape. Daddy U-Roy's success paved the way for many deejays of that era and beyond. His music and style earned him a huge following in the UK. In 2007 he was awarded the Order of Distinction from the Jamaican Government for his contribution to music. You've left us a great legacy Godfather of Dancehall and Hip Hop. Rest well Daddy U-Roy. Our sincere condolences to your family, friends and fans. #dancehall #daddyuroy #hiphop #rap #reggae #jamaica #uk #music
