We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Sattayah-Omari Chang, Lidj Yassu, and Kwame Taijan created the promotions company Sankofa Sound to keep an old-school reggae vibe alive in Miami Beach. “It blossomed in five months,” Chang says. “It really tells me about what people want to hear and what was missing.” Sankofa sticks with roots and conscious reggae, “not just the jumbled stuff because it is popular,” adds Chang.
