Reggae Month 2016 “Reggae Mekya” marked the 8th staging of Reggae Month by the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA). The month-long celebration of Reggae music is geared towards highlighting the impact of the genre on the country’s social, cultural and economic development while sharpening the focus and drawing the attention of the world to this powerful Jamaican asset. CHASE approved support of $4M for the Reggae Honour Awards and the Music Symposium which were two of the signature events on the Reggae Month 2016 calendar.
