Rockers, Soulheads & Lovers: Sound Systems Back in Da Day

 Rockers, Soulheads & Lovers: Sound Systems Back in Da Day looks at the golden era of African- Caribbean sound system from the 50's to the 80's in London, in the exhibition consist of both visual and audio.Although sound systems originated in Jamaica, it would form its own expression and identity in Britain and with reggae as it’s cultural foundation it has since absorbed other black music genres: Soul, Funk, RnB, Hip Hop, Jazz Funk, House, Jungle, Garage, Drum & Bass, Dub Step, Grime. The title, Rockers, Soulheads & Lovers, represents the diversity of subculture within sound system


This exhibition was really interesting as it consisted of both video and images and also artifacts. The message through out the exhibition was clear. The images were composed really well and all had a good depth of field within them. There was a lot going on in each image however this made you take more interest within the image. I really like the way they mixed audio and images together as this made you understand the exhibition more.
