The next big thing in music education is coming to Jamaica, thanks to a $3 million donation from the Bank of Jamaica.
The money is going to the Jamaica Music Institute, or JaMIN, which aims to provide at-risk youth with entrepreneurship, production, and audio engineering skills, reports the Jamaica Observer.
"We believe that the work being undertaken through this program will help to give birth to a new generation of trained, qualified cultural entrepreneurs that will impact Jamaica and our local culture through music production, audio engineering, or even events production," says a bank exec.
JaMIN is a listed project of the Jamaica Social Stock Exchange, notes the Observer.
