Show Notes

This long-form documentary exploration of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN dives into the grit and the silence behind the global stage of Caribbean music. While the world danced to the infectious rhythms of Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, and eventually Dancehall and Reggaeton, a massive portion of the story remained hidden in the shadows of the recording studio. This episode examines the systemic marginalization of women and gender-nonconforming voices in a industry built on the pillars of liberation and revolution. From the international breakout of Millie Small with My Boy Lollipop in the nineteen sixties to the modern digital defiance of Ivy Queen and the new generation of independent artists, we trace a timeline of survival against a backdrop of hyper-masculinity and economic exploitation.
