GOVERNMENT MINISTER DAMION CRAWFORD, SEES JAMAICA AS AN ENTERTAINMENT MECCA!
Damion Crawford— DAMION Crawford, minister of state in the Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment, says with 20,000 entertainment event held last year, Jamaica has both comparative and competitive advantage as an entertainment mecca. The minister’s assertions came at the launch of Carlene Davis’s album launch — Dripping Blood — at the Redbones Blues Café, on Thursday. He says the entertainment industry should be considered among those that can contribute to the economic advancement of Jamaica. But, like other industries, must diversify to be competitive. “So, while we celebrate our dancehall and reggae acts, we should also celebrate gospel music and other genres of music,” he said.
