JaRIA Honour Awards

Well supported

The awards of the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association, staged during Reggae Month. They matter mainly because they are decided inside the industry rather than abroad, and because they honour engineers, session players and producers alongside performers — the people the international awards rarely reach.

Awards are reception, not final proof

Awards such as Grammy, IRAWMA and JaRIA honours are useful reception evidence but should be interpreted alongside local archives, recordings, press and community memory.
