Reggae, Caribbean and African

This room celebrates the rich rhythms and vibrant voices of Canada’s Reggae, Caribbean, and African music scenes. From roots reggae and dancehall to calypso, soca, Afrobeat, and traditional African styles, this collection reflects the cultural depth brought by diasporic communities across the country. Whether born abroad or raised in Canada, these artists brought the sound of islands and continents to Canadian streets, shaping a powerful, joyful, and deeply expressive musical legacy. Uplifting, unifying, and undeniably rhythmic.
