Focus Music Video 101

*drums roll * This is the official opening of the music video section.

What?

The music video focus is to analyze how a music video represents Caribbean culture and defines Caribbean identity. Sometimes, you’ll even get to read an interview with the artist and the music video director to explain the video making process.

Why?

I’ve always been a fan of music videos. When I was a teenager back in the late 90’s-early 00’s, I spent countless hours watching music videos on BET. It was the reign of Hype Williams, Dave Meyers and X. Myy first blog ever circa 2004 was mainly dedicated to US music videos I loved. Fast forward to nearly 20 years later, I’m back with the same concept but my intention is to create a digital archive of the Caribbean as seen by Caribbean artists from the 20th century and the first half of the 21st century.

When?

This is a monthly feature.
