Travel to the heart of Afro Jamaica Reggae Music with Maroghini and Matt Jenson
If reggae music has crawled inside your bloodstream with its earth shattering drum and bass riddim, its politically and spiritually driving messages of revolution and liberation, and its power to jettison you to a higher state of consciousness, then this cultural-musical immersion trip will satisfy your yearning for an even deeper, visceral understanding of Afro-Jamaican reggae music. This trip is part academic musicological study, part socio-political discussion group, part transcendental drum circle and part jam session/dance party.
Ideally suited for musicians (professional and non professional) and non musicians who have a deep affinity for the study of music from the perspective of a musician and humble/witness participant in the culture from which the music originated.
Trip Dates: January 31-February 9, 2020
