The Search for authentic Reggae Dancehall talents in Nigeria.

Dancehall is a ‘baby-sister’ music genre to Reggae, a uniquely distinct conscious tune originating from Jamaica. Dancehall is a fast up-tempo party tune and is becoming the norm in today’s music collections.

In the 80’s and 90’s in Nigeria, Reggae music was the toast for any occasion as it is been played, listened to and even danced to almost everywhere and anywhere. For reasons yet unknown, Reggae music faded into thin air as non-music lovers and music lover’s alike-lost grip of Reggae tunes.

With the ICT invasion and the evolving of the times, acknowledging the unquantifiable global positive impact music holds to humanity, the twentieth century begins to witness transformation in the music genre and the resurrection of Reggae music in Nigeria especially Dancehall music.

Ital Sounds with Covenant Child is on a rescue mission of Dancehall Reggae tunes with its quarterly “Ital Sounds Riddim Clash – repping your hood”. Aimed at discovering and harnessing authentic reggae dancehall talents that are truly gifted in this genre. They intend to nurture such artistes giving them international exposure with a bid to compete with other dancehall reggae artistes globally.
