Events' Realm

Iset Sankofa forges ahead of the turntable constellation with a stunningly refreshing kinda sound. This is the 'all genres considered' milieu... where dusty Malian Blues takes a night stroll with Dub, Naija hip hop flirts dangerously with Kingston Dancehall grit,  and bubbly Brazilian Electronica steams a peace pipe with Afro-Jazz futurism. 
 
For this self-described 'bird', she is always reaching beyond the beyond and fetching back what she terms as musical source-code. In that, we can find a song or a groove so undeniable in it's appeal that it not only builds on the idea of the universality of music but of sound itself. Her musical selections have a way of running past the dance-able and the obvious. Usually, the next stop is a bold convergence of history and magic - one that playfully wields the listener into the lush, downright sensuous terrain that music can be. 
 
For Sankofa, hers is an imagined and realized terrain where digital divides are effortlesly bridged in 128 BPMs and new music lifts a hat to traditional sounds via a kind of time-travelling-self-discovering-remixing sort of aesthetic.

The Reggae Marathon & Half Marathon is Jamaica's premier International Marathon Event. Marathoners, sports enthusiasts as well as beginners, converge in Negril, Jamaica's capital of casual, for a fun event characterized by good vibes and lots of Reggae music.

Enthusiastic supporters come out along the out and back, internationally certified course to support participants. Meanwhile, hard working volunteers offer uniquely packaged water and rehydration fluids at every mile. The pulsating Reggae music at each mile also keeps participants in an "irie" spirit, as they burn the mileage.

Other related Marathon mvents, like the internationally rated gourmet Pasta Party and 3 Day Marathon Expo, have participants and supporters alike, humming with activity. The Expo also features the best of Jamaica's art & craft along with runner related products. The Village Bash & Victory Party cater to the party goers.

All in all, the Reggae Marathon Event is uniquely Jamaican with an international appeal.
