London, United Kingdom Mar 17, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - When UNESCO announced that “The Reggae Music of Jamaica” had been added to its list of cultural products considered worthy of recognition, it was a reflection on the fact that reggae, which grew from its roots in the backstreets and dance halls of Jamaica, is more than just popular music, but an important social and political phenomenon.
The Annual Universal Reggae Awards (AURA) will therefore pay homage to the many talented people and organisations that populate Reggae-verse by giving them the flowers they so richly deserve.
On the night, Reggae Artists from far and wide will be making the pilgrimage to London for the Inaugural AURA Ceremony.
