Jam Yard Promotion will be launching a new Reggae radio show
on 98.7 fm in Aarhus, Denmark. The program will air this and every Thursday
from 11am to 12pm GMT and will focus on Jamaican music, culture and lifestyle.
The hosts, Henzel Clarke and DJ Dave Q who are both Jamaicans see this as an
opportunity to spread an awareness of authentic Jamaican culture while
simultaneously playing their part to help Aarhus become the European City of
Culture for 2017.
When asked what listeners can expect from this radio show,
Henzel Clarke had this to say, “On this
program we go back to basic pay tribute to some of the pioneers and veterans
that have paved the way. We will discuss current affairs and the latest news in
the Reggae industry, updates about the latest and hottest events, concerts,
festivals in Aarhus, Scandanavia and wider Europe. You can expect quality
Reggae Music...Classic Music with absolutely no explicit or degrading lyrical
content"
Denmark is fast becoming one of the more desired locations
for Reggae artists touring Europe. Though the audience for the genre is more
humble in size compared to Germany and Belgium, there is a growing underground
scene for Reggae and even Dancehall lovers in Denmark. Copenhagen (the capital
of Denmark) already has clubs and scenes dedicated to live music and every week
there is at least one Reggae band playing at a venue there. 2015 will see
Aarhus City hosting its first Reggae Festival. This is another Jam Yard
initiative.
