Music Week 2018

BBN Staff: Belize Music Week 2018 is being held in collaboration between the Office of the Music Ambassador and the National Institute of Culture and History (NICH) via the Institute of Creative Arts. It is Belize’s third annual Music Week and is being hosted at the Belize Civic Centre from May 14 to 19. This year’s music week will be focusing on the importance of music’s role in the country’s social and economic development.

The workshops being held this year are encouraging artists to start using digital music platforms and other services to overcome traditional barriers. As a result, this year’s music is also focusing on the digitization of Belizean music as an investment to potentially transform the region’s musical industry. It is believed that this avenue can create a path to both sustainable economic growth and competitiveness.

The hosts for this year’s music week are DJ Dalla and Miss Belize, Rebecca Rath. Accompanying them throughout the week are 20 of the best Belizean DJs and special guest, DJ Megan Ryte from New York’s Hot 97.
