It starts with the arrival of the Windrush generation and the birth of UK sound system culture. \nIn the 1960s\, Mikey Dread’s father ran the legendary Admiral Bailey Sound\, one of the pioneering systems bringing the music of Jamaica to London. Growing up in a house filled with amplifiers and vinyl\, brothers Mikey Dread and Jah T absorbed the culture from birth. In 1979\, the torch was passed. The brothers took over the running of their father’s sound\, renaming it Channel One in homage to the iconic Channel One recording studio on Maxwell Avenue in Jamaica – a seal of quality for the roots rock reggae they were determined to push. \nWhile many sound systems stayed local\, Channel One had a broader vision: “To break down barriers via Reggae music.” \nBreaking Down Barriers\nAfter witnessing the historic Bob Marley performance at Crystal Palace Bowl in 1980 — having travelled straight from a sound system session in Cambridge the night before — Mikey Dread was inspired to take the sound on a new journey\, reaching audiences beyond its traditional spaces by touring the UK university circuit. \nThroughout the late 1980s and 1990s\, Channel One carried roots and dub into colleges and universities across the country. For many students it was their first experience of an authentic sound system session\, and these dances quietly helped sow the seeds for what would later emerge as the UK’s jungle\, dubstep and wider bass music culture. \nThe Stack\, Tradition in sound\nWhile most modern performances rely on digital formats\, Channel One continues to play strictly vinyl — 12”\, 10” and 7” records and dubplates. The bespoke\, hand-built speaker stack is custom-engineered and meticulously maintained\, preserving the original principles of analogue sound system performance. \nThe Brain: A custom-built pre-amp that controls the frequencies. \nThe Source: A single turntable. \nThe Power: Amplifiers\, manufactured to sound close to a Valve amplifier that provide a warm\, rounded\, “heavyweight” bass that you feel as much as you hear. \nMikey Dread\, the selector\, carries the musical meditation\, while the MCs — including Macky Banton and Ras Sherby — voice the session through chanting and song\, spreading conscious words in the Rastafari tradition. \nGlobal Ambassadors & Culture Clash Champions

SUMMARY:Juneteenth Celebrates the Underground Railroad That Ran Into Mexico
DESCRIPTION:On June 19\, 1865\, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston\, Texas and delivered the news that enslaved people were finally free\, more than two months after the Civil War had already ended. That day became Juneteenth. But decades before that announcement was ever made\, a community of freedom seekers had already crossed the Rio Grande and built a new life in Mexico rather than wait for America to catch up. \nThis Juneteenth\, WorldBeat Cultural Center invites you to go deeper into the holiday’s roots. \nJoin Chief Thomi Perryman for a visual presentation that connects the spirit of Juneteenth to one of its most extraordinary living legacies: the Mascogos of Nacimiento de los Negros\, an Afro-Mexican community in Coahuila\, Mexico that has celebrated Juneteenth for over 150 years and never stopped. \nThey call it Día de los Negros. Every June 19th\, the Mascogos gather with music\, dance\, and la cabalgata\, a thundering 20-mile parade of horseback riders that moves through the Mexican landscape as a living declaration: we remember\, and we are still here. \nWho are the Mascogos? Their story begins with the Black Seminoles\, a people born from the alliance between freedom-seeking Africans and Native American nations during the Seminole Wars\, one of the longest and most fiercely fought conflicts in American history. When Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 under President Vicente Guerrero (himself a man of African descent)\, the Rio Grande became a river of liberation. Thousands crossed south\, not north\, choosing freedom on their own terms. \nChief Thomi Perryman will trace the visionary leadership of John Horse\, known in Mexico as Juan Caballo\, who guided Black Seminoles and Native Americans out of Indian Territory in present day Oklahoma all the way into Mexico\, where they planted roots that remain to this day. With only a few hundred Mascogos surviving today\, their continued celebration of Juneteenth is not just tradition. It is testimony. \nThis Juneteenth\, discover a chapter of the story that has been kept alive south of the border for generations. Come and witness what freedom looks like when a community refuses to let it be forgotten.
