Bugle Launches Apex Live To Restore Live Music In Jamaica’s Inner Cities
Written byK'Shema Francis-Pitt
Reggae singer Bugle is on a mission to revive live music in Jamaica’s inner-city communities through his Apex Live initiative.
According to Bugle, live music is dying out and is no longer getting the mileage it once did. He says his love for music motivated him to take action rather than sit by and watch the decline continue.
Bugle also acknowledged that reviving live music is not a one-man effort and expressed gratitude to the Ruff Cut Band, Turbulence, I-Wayne, Spragga Benz and others who have supported the initiative.
Apex Live launched in July, with Bugle explaining that the monthly series will not necessarily visit every inner-city community, as he is currently funding the initiative out of his own pocket.
However, the reggae singer is hoping sponsors will come on board to help expand the initiative and further his mission of bringing quality live Reggae music back to communities across Jamaica.
Apex Live’s next staging is set for Tivoli Gardens on September 27.
