[email protected], www.ddmusic.ch SHORT STORY PROJECT The art of making music a way of life – The Inna de Yard Project demonstrates beautifully the way the senior generation of the Jamaican music scene still interacts with young artists worldwide. Day by day artists meet in Earl „Chinna“ Smith’s yard to create music surrounded by nature and confraternity – the way it has always been in Jamaican Reggae and Ska. Involving musicians, singers, producers, sound engineers and artists from numerous countries, genres and cultures, this film project reflects the last 40 years of Jamaican music history. Europe Tour The musicians and main characters involved in this documentary are going to accompany their film, providing an unique experience of motion picture and live music. First-hand insight into the genesis of Reggae through meeting its protagonists. Those very artists, who have always been faithful to their roots of the 60s and 70s and who, whilst becoming legends in their own time, are still inspiriting the stages with their enthusiasm and love to Reggae culture – thus passing it on to the next generation.
