Jamaica has announce that February is Reggae month. The Prime Minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, said:

Reggae Month will be used to consolidate a series of events into a passionate movement in order to give full recognition to the music as a cultural capital. The month of celebrations will also assert Jamaica's authority on the music so there can be no ambiguity of its origin. ... the month will also be used to plant the seeds for a nation branding project to firmly establish Brand Jamaica. This year's activities will also be used as a stepping stone for next year's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of reggae music.
