Musique : CARS, le réveil du reggae galsen qui veut reprendre son destin en main
Long considered a music of resistance, awareness, and commitment, reggae now seems to be facing its own challenges. Between economic difficulties, a lack of structure, insufficient media visibility, and the precarious situation of its artists, the sector needs a new lease on life.
It is within this context that CARS (Collective of Senegalese Reggae Actors) has emerged. Its founders have reached out to the national and international press to raise public awareness about the need to revitalize their sector. Through this initiative, professionals and enthusiasts of the reggae movement intend to join forces to lay the groundwork for a genuine reconstruction of the music's ecosystem, in preparation for their general assembly scheduled for this Friday at the Grand National Theater of Dakar.
Beyond simply being a collective, CARS has an ambition: to make professional solidarity a lever for development. This includes defending the interests of stakeholders, promoting talent, strengthening funding mechanisms, improving production and distribution conditions, and also fostering greater recognition of reggae in Senegal's cultural policies.
Speaking to the press, reggae artists revealed a huge challenge: translating their collective will into measurable actions. Because the revival of reggae cannot happen without a shared vision, a sustainable organization, and the genuine involvement of every link in the music chain.
Reggae has always carried a message of resistance. Today, it may be time for its practitioners to transform this resistance into a genuine project of economic and cultural revival.
