Jamaican Dancehall Party Playlist for Minors Released
Jamaican Dancehall Party Playlist for Minors Released
June 4, 2017
The YA Readers Hangout released its high energy Dancehall Party Playlist for the benefit of DJs and event planners who serve tween and teen audiences.
The playlist covers more than two hours of non-stop dance music, boasting thirty one tracks done by 21 major Dancehall artistes who have international acclaim. It is a full blown selection of high quality, Jamaican Dancehall music, rivaling the best pop music, with points for lyrical content and magnetic dance floor credentials.
The selections include chart hitters by both male and female artistes as well as compilations with overseas artistes. Most of the Dancehall tracks on the list were released in the last seven years, and it is intended to be blended live into a contemporary party mix.
The lyrics are mostly about enjoying a dance party, self-respect, friendships and romance as a broad issue.
While acknowledging that the list may not meet all expectations, there is no song on the playlist that empathize with "gyallis" "bend ova gyal", "shotta" or "bad mind" lifestyles and sentiments. The songs selected do not brood on violence or thoughts of suicide or intense heartache or otherwise linger on adult themes of sexuality or the dynamics that happen within intimate relationships. The lyrics do not encourage or entertain through subject matters that could facilitate low self esteem or depression, or the corruption of a child under Jamaican child protection and substance abuse laws.
YA Hangout is a project of YA author Gwyneth Harold Davidson whose work focuses on optimistic YA literature.
The list is the latest YA Hangout product following its 2015 Jamaica 50 presence at the Kingston Book Festival, and the Jamaica Independence Village.
In the works for YA Readers Hangout is a marketing approach for the promotion of Jamaican popular musical content suitable for Grades 7 - 13 (ages 12 - 18). -30-
