As well as being a trade show for those who are seriously interested in Caribbean music, the Caribbean Music Expo at Ocho Rios also involves live concerts on the beach.
The Caribbean Music Expo is an annual music industry trade show featuring an exhibition of music products and services from the Caribbean, plenty of conferences and plenty of live concerts on the beach. The convention is designed to enable English, Spanish and French-speaking Caribbean music producers and service providers to position themselves as suppliers of music products and services to the global market.
The CME was first staged in November 1999 to encourage deals between Caribbean music producers and international music distributors, as well as encouraging networking and discussion of issues relevant to music industry development. The convention hopes to address the weaknesses Caribbean music producers and performers encounter in management, production, marketing and intellectual property rights administration. These weaknesses pose a serious threat to the global competitiveness of Caribbean music products and services. In recent years, the expo has been committed to discovering new talent - those artists who struggle to gain wide circulation for their work in Jamaica.
