Art of Dancehall: Flyer and Poster Designs of Jamaican Dancehall Culture.
An essential collection celebrating the art of poster and flyer design in Jamaican dancehall music.
Drawing on unrivaled private collections from Jamaica, London, New York, and Tokyo, this book is a window into the colourful and effervescent world of dancehall—at once celebrating the ingenuity and beauty of the DIY flyers themselves, and chronicling the evolution of DJs, records, and venues that made the genre into the musical and cultural phenomenon that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
Celebrating the energy and vibrancy of vernacular Jamaican art, the flyers and posters collected in this book are testament to the creativity and spirit behind one of the most influential and enduring cultures in contemporary music.
Highly recommended!!
