The Bad Boys of Reggae Inner Circle and JaRIA Bring Reggae Month to South Florida during this February 2023 with 9 free events
Nine FREE Reggae themed events throughout South Florida with live musical performances, djs, networking and conference
To celebrate Black History Month, the Bad Boys of Reggae Inner Circle and Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA) are presenting Reggae Month Miami during the entire month of February.
The goal of Reggae Month Miami is to bring awareness to the entire South Florida community.
Reggae Month Miami will offer FREE live music, meet and greets with reggae performers, networking and a conference in South Florida. Reggae Month Miami will highlight Jamaican artists, business and entrepreneurs in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.
As part of Reggae Month Miami, Inner Circle will be releasing two singles to honor reggae legends Mykal Rose and Beres Hammond. Beres Hammond’s One Step Ahead honors classic reggae and will be released on February 10. Mykal Rose’s single Reality showcases reggae roots and culture and will also be released by Inner Circle in late February.
Reggae Month was first celebrated in Jamaica in 2008 by JaRIA.
It is important to Inner Circle to bring Reggae Month to Miami for the South Florida community to celebrate and bring awareness to the reggae industry.
“We want to offer this platform for local reggae and reggaeton artists to entertain everyone who is interested in the culture and bring awareness to music and showcase traditions. We also wanted to offer an opportunity for networking every Wednesday as part of the festivities,” said Ian Lewis, co-founder of Inner Circle.
