Rice & Peas Vol 4 - The Worldwide Issue

The next issue, Vol 4, looks at the effect that Jamaican music culture has had around the globe. Looking at how other cultures have borrowed from the genres of ska, reggae & dancehall and taken the messages to heart and fused them to create inspired sounds. 

The issue also promises a few surprises along the way. The next issue goes to print at the end of the month and will be available mid September.

It's been a while, a year in fact since the last issue of Rice & Peas, but I've been very busy compiling interviews an info for the next issue.

Changing up the format a little I'll be using www.thenewspaperclub.com to print a tabloid size issue that allows for a couple postersized images. 

It's gonna be a fun one :)

Stay Tuned!!
