The second night of Coventry Sound Systems features the Coventry Sound Systems that play and promote reggae dancehall music in the city and beyond.
Featuring Mackabee Studio International, X5 Family World Sound, JB International and Black Magic Family.
Dancehall music came out of the dub and roots music that originated in the dancehalls of Jamaica in the mid 1980s, it had faster rhythms and featured more popular themes and lyrics of everyday people and life. Some of the early dancehall artists were people like Yellowman, Sugar Minott and Don Carlos. Modern day dancehall music has been celebrated worldwide with artists such as Beenie Man and Buju Banton, becoming a mainstream genre as Reggae music continues to influence the soundtrack of life around the world.
