Dancehall-Bands and Dancehall-DJs for your Event

Dancehall is a musical genre based on reggae , which is often compared to Hip Hop . The so-called Toastingwhich is often used in dancehall songs, is a type of chanting that has had a major influence on the development of Jamaican dancehall. In dancehall, people sing and toast on bass and beat-heavy, danceable instrumentals. These so-called Riddims are chanted. The performers are usually called DJ . It is also typical that each verse is rhymed using the same pronunciation of the last syllables in the verse. The difference to rap is that it is not only performed rhythmically, but also in a vocal tone, which can also transition into smaller melody lines. In contrast to reggae, dancehall is hardly religiously oriented. There is a lot of sexism and lyrics that glorify violence, whereby the strong homophobic tendency is particularly noticeable. Since the second half of the 1990s, dancehall riddims have become increasingly popular in the European music scene. Artists such as Seeed, Dr. Ring Ding and Gentleman are among those who have spread dancehall in Europe.
