Sonic Bodies: Reggae Sound Systems, Performance Techniques, and Ways of Knowing
Henriques, Professor Julian (Goldsmiths, University of London, UK)
A study of the culture and physicality of dancehall reggae music. It focuses on the skilled performance of the crewmembers responsible for this signature of Jamaican music: the audio engineers designing, building and fine-tuning the "set" of equipment; the selectors choosing the music tracks played; and, MCs (DJs) on the mic hyping up the crowd.
