About The Artwork

To celebrate music is to honour the rhythm of the soul - and in reggae, that rhythm becomes a heartbeat shared across generations.

This is a tribute to the world of music, and especially to reggae - a sound born of resistance, of love, of spirit. A language that speaks not only to the ears, but to the heart.

Reggae carries truth. It uplifts, it protests, it heals. It reminds us that music is not just entertainment - it is message, it is movement, it is memory.

To celebrate reggae is to celebrate the power of voice, and the beauty of sound as a force for unity in a divided world.
