According to Ibo Cooper, Jamaica lacks the institutional power to call for the inclusion of the reggae category at the Grammy’s main stage, but said this does not undermine the genre’s international appeal.
“When you look at two Grammy winners like Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Burning Spear, they’ve toured extensively and have built up a multiracial following that we in Jamaica were not aware of,” he said. “When you go to London, a Burning Spear show will be sold out for three days, and Lee Perry has sold out right across the world in big arenas. If you look at the years they won, it would have been at a time they were touring heavily.”
