Female Reggae Artists And Some Of The Challenges They Face As Philadelphia Private Party Bands

By Steven Moore


As this specific type of music transcends its country of origin to be enjoyed in different parts of the world. A few things have come into the light, things that either was t made apparent then or those who rallied behind its call, unable to do anything to affect the status quo due to voices that could not be heard over the booming speakers that have made this genre of music like no other. Philadelphia Private Party Bands know hot make your event special, many female ladies recently are doing pretty good shows.

That very same argument can be made in Jamaica, where reggae has evolved and in modern times finds certain variations of this genre threatening to form its own genre. Dancehall is one of these children of reggae that threaten to leave home.

Reggae and the subsequent subgenres that have emerged as a result have always been a male-dominated industry. Be it as a result of chance or circumstance, lyrics fuelled by lust and objectification seemed to resonate with the masses and persist long enough for it to become the norm. But in doing so, have made females seen in a limited light okay.

From the genre s prominence in the late 1970 s female acts were unheard of. With the passage of time, women who had an interest in the industry were often accompanying male artists. The 1980 s gave rise to the likes of Lady Mackerel and Tenor Saw, pioneer solo acts in what was then uncharted territory.

Music is not enjoyed in isolation. Dance accompanies the tunes on the dancefloor or wherever its played as its only natural to dance to music. Trends that place women in a state of physical danger like the infamous daggering dance end up resulting in the more feminine out of the two dance partners nursing some physical bruises that could have unsavory.

But it s not all bad as reggae and the artists within the genre rarely make use of derogatory terms towards the female form, unlike other genres of music that are renowned for it. But that s not to say that they get a free pass because all they due is hypersexualize. That could t be further from the truth. Observations made by Brown Girl Magazine as recently as 2016, noted that women who don t conform to set stereotypes or exhibit masculine qualities get written about more in an unflattering light. The irony in this being that men are praised for the exact set of qualities.

According to IPS news.net, the government of Jamaica has heard the plights of its people and taken action in banning daggering from 2009. Thus serving as a landmark moment in the use of sexually motivated content in the caribbean.

Although at the end of the day, this can be considered music, the effects of music have real and long-lasting consequences. This is especially true for women who seem to be at a disadvantage in terms of having a sustainable career in a genre of music in which they love and the manner in which they can express themselves. Reggae and female artists still have a lot to iron out.
