Wyclef Jean to Host First Annual Caribbean Music Awards in Brooklyn 

It’s finally time we celebrate Caribbean Music! The inaugural Caribbean Music Awards has been officially confirmed for August 31, 2023. Live from Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, the highly anticipated evening will be hosted by 3x GRAMMY Award-Winner, Wyclef Jean! Set to receive the first Lifetime Achievement Award will be Machel Montano! This historic occasion comes to life in the heart of New York City’s Little Caribbean and we couldn’t be more excited. While on the Today Show via NBC, Wyclef shared his excitement for the upcoming award show as well: 

The countdown starts now! It’s a special celebration of Caribbean Music. We’re celebrating music that continues to connect the world through music, fashion, and a whole different level of energy. Get ready to dance, laugh, wave ya flags and make memories! Let’s come together, under one roof, and show the world the legacy of Caribbean Music and culture.”

There’s no denying the profound impact Caribbean music has had on the global music scene. It has influenced and inspired artists generation after generation, across all genres. Whether it’s the laid-back grooves of Reggae, the infectious riddims of Soca, Dancehall’s energetic vibes, or Calypso’s classic storytelling melodies, the rich tapestry of musical styles in the Caribbean is undeniable. 

The Caribbean Music Awards, however, is not just an awards ceremony. It is a night for the ENTIRE Caribbean music and entertainment community to come together in a dazzling display of talent, creativity, and cultural richness. It’s about time the artists, producers, culture movers, and industry professionals get their much-deserved flowers and recognition. 

Prepare for an unforgettable night celebrating Caribbean music’s rich history spanning a multitude of generations on August 31st at 8 p.m. EST.
