Jamaica Independence Day Celebrations - Saturday, August 1st 2020
For the past 10 years we have been providing free content, now we are asking for your help to raise money to fund a free event on Hellshire Beach celebrating the Jamaican Independence and Emancipation Day on Saturday, 1st August 2020. The Emancipation Day commemorates the anniversary of the abolishment of slavery in Jamaica, while Independence Day celebrates Jamaica's political independence from the United Kingdom.
We believe we are the first British company to come and celebrate independence with the people of Jamaica in this way. We feel that it is important to recognise the cultural ties between the UK and Jamaica after 57 years of independence, as well as the abolishment of slavery in 1834. Jamaica has a rich and vibrant history, that speaks both on the experience of hardship and prosperity, but also the growth and determination of a people. We also want to celebrate the cultural diversity and richness of reggae music and recognise the impact it has had on modern British culture.
We would like to give back to the local community of Hellshire as part of this event, by giving the local children back to school stationary packs, including pens, pencil, bags, books, etc. As well as a lucky dip so every child gets a prize, also free ice cream for every child. We would also like to help repair the stage on the beach for all future events, further benefiting the local community.
Hellshire Beach is a local community beach with few tourists, mainly visited by local Jamaicans from the area and a culturally recognised place within Reggae music.
We will be collaborating with UK-Jamaican host Rawpa Crawpa and Special Vibes International Sound to put together a great musical line up on the day. We have connected with Ricky Trooper, Black Scorpio, Bunny General, Admiral Tibet, Junior Cat, Burro Banton, Major Mackerel, and many more to perform on the day.
We plan to document this event on the Don Sinclair Reggae Vibes and use the footage to attract sponsors so that we can fund future Jamaican Independence day celebrations and most importantly continue to support the local community.
To make successful preparations for this, we would need to raise our funds by February 2020.
For the past ten years, we have been broadcasting free content on YouTube and would appreciate your support to help bring this celebration into the real world.
If you can make a donation to support us in this celebration, we and the community of Hellshire would be eternally grateful.
We look forward to having you and hope that your friends & families can come along and join us to make this a memorable celebration.
Who We Are
In 2015 Don Sinclair Reggae Vibes was made an official partner of YouTube, which allowed us to start using the studio facilities at the YouTube Space London to begin producing professional content. Originally the platform was used to upload recordings of Reggae events. Once we became a YouTube partner, we grew into the UK’s biggest platform for Reggae music and sound system culture - filming artists and sound systems and conducting interviews. Using the facilities at the YouTube Space we have become adept at producing professional and quality content that has been received well by our growing audience.
Our reputation has allowed us to attract and work with respected artists in the Reggae genre, such as Winston Francis a contemporary of and collaborator with Bob Marley, Sir Coxsone one of the original Sound Systems to bring Reggae to the UK, also Burro Banton , Junior Cat , Eek-A-Mouse , Dawn Penn , General Levy, Tippa Irie, Dennis Bovell , A.J Franklin and many others.
Don Sinclair Reggae Vibes has a reputation for promoting the reggae culture with high respect and no profanity, so this means the content is clean & accessible for all ages. It also focuses on the exposure of up & coming talent which is important to give generations of emerging artists a platform to display their skills, whether it be Singing, Djing or playing music. It is also a platform for established musicians to show their skills, so others can enjoy and learn from.
Don Sinclair Reggae Vibes has had over 15 million views and is growing rapidly. Having this event would enhance, endorse and strengthen reggae music and dancehall culture on a global level. Importantly this would also encourage tourist visits to the island.
