RIDDIMS MARKETING NEWSLETTER | FEBRUARY 2024

Hey there, Riddim Rockers!


Our February edition of De Riddim Box is here, jam-packed with all the juiciest updates and upcoming events as we honor both Black History Month and Reggae Month. Oh, and let's not forget to tip our hats to the legends celebrating birthdays in February — Dennis Brown (February 1) and Bob Marley (February 6). How did you celebrate these reggae giants? Share your stories!


Now, get ready to mark your calendars because something big is hitting the screens this Valentine's Day—Bob Marley: One Love, the ultimate Bob Marley biopic. Paramount Pictures has spared no expense, and the buzz surrounding this film is as loud as a bassline at a reggae concert. Word on the street is that it's set to rake in over 30 million clams on its opening weekend alone! Talk about making waves in the movie biz. Let's show some love and support for our reggae icon!


Speaking of making moves, the political arena is heating up faster than a scotch bonnet pepper. Caribbean-American voters, it's time to rise and shine! This year is a game-changer, and our voices need to be heard loud and clear. From local elections to the grand stage of the White House, let's make sure our community's interests are front and center. Remember, folks, democracy is like a potluck—it only works if everyone brings something to the table. So, get out there and exercise your right to vote!


Here at Riddims Marketing, we're all about that A-Team spirit—Advocate, Agitate, and Activate! Let's roll up our sleeves and make a positive impact on our community. And hey, don't forget to stay in the loop by following us on social media—Facebook, Instagram, you name it! Plus, tune in to the Caribbean Riddims radio show every Saturday on CANEradio.com at 3 pm. Trust us, "It Nuh Normal."


Let's keep those vibes irie and the beat bumping. Until next time, keep spreading those positive vibrations!


One love,

The Riddims Marketing Crew
