Spring is in the air, birds are chirping, reggae enthusiasts are singing and for an entire month, Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music (CPR) is imploring reggae lovers to share their rendition of a favorite song on social media. The CPR Songbird Challenge starts today and on the 25th of April, culminates in a Songbird Fest at the International Women of Reggae concert, featuring Etana, Nadine Sutherland, JC Lodge, Shuga and more.
The CPR Song Bird Challenge and social media campaign aspires to be a feel good event with lasting benefits. Notably, the prelaunch garnered a flood of videos with memorable participants ranging from an adorable 90 year old named Gloria singing the classic “Wings of a Dove”, to a beautifully clad young girl with her rendition of Etana’s “Jamaican Woman”.
The “sing like a song bird” challenge is open to all and CPR is calling on participants to use their camera phones to record a 15-30 second video of themselves, family and friends singing their favorite reggae song. Next they should upload it to social media, visit the CPRReggae page on face book,like the page and share & tag CPRReggae on their video post.
