For the first time, the Caribbean Music Awards is leaving Brooklyn, New York, and coming to Trinidad and Tobago.
The fourth annual celebration takes place at NAPA on September 19, bringing together Caribbean artistes, music professionals and cultural icons for a celebration of the region’s diverse musical landscape.
Melissa Jimenez, General Manager of Music at Global Trinidad and Tobago, and Paige De Leon, Spokesperson for the Caribbean Music Awards, join Virmala to discuss how the event came to T&T, the opportunities it creates for local creatives and what it could mean for the country’s position in the international music industry.
