In the past recent months there is hardly any good news for the reggae and danchall industry.. sting 2011 was mediocre, Buju Bantons case over shadowed the Jamaican music industry and not to mention the numerous crazy happenings including the death of Oneil of voicemail and Richie Stevens proteje Copper Cat.
The good news for this week was that Dubtonik Kru representing Jamaica won in the Global Battle of the Bands competition
The 15 year old band won the competition over the weekend in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia beating 16 other bands from around the world. Dubtonic won a world tour, the title Best "New" World Band and a deal worth US$100,000. The Kru was upbeat about their win and shed light on the greatness of Jamaican music culture and the fact that Jamaican music did not die with the great Bob Marley..
