ABOUT US

In 1994 the Reggae Business Association was started to create a proactive Reggae industry networking association and evolved into a company that specializes in promotions, publicity and marketing for the Reggae genre.

Publisher, Kaati states, "My background is in magazine publishing, so I produced festival programs for several years and then ultimately, the Reggae Festival Guide magazine with the idea that the "program" should come out before the festival to give the Sponsors, artists and the event itself, more exposure---so why not put all the festivals in one "program."

What started out as a 16-page booklet in Northern California has grown in to the world's longest running and largest Reggae magazine. Years ago the corresponding website and E-Guide were added. And then in recent years, the Digital Edition of the magazine plus our iPhone app called Reggae Guide were added completing our media products.

Now almost 20 years later, The Reggae Festival Guide remains supported through advertising and sponsorship. Current magazine, e-Guide, website and iPhone app. advertisers include festivals, record labels, Reggae artists/bands, commercial websites, travel agencies and Caribbean condo rentals, airlines, clothing lines, industry events, other publications, shops, DJs, wholesalers, health foods, hemp industry products, accessories, music industry services, industry awards, recording studios, jewelry, band tours, services, body oils and incense, instruments and drums, booking agents, and more!
