The music symbol constitutes a sleeping lion, expressing that reggae music not only gives people a beautiful enjoyment,
but also urges people to make progress.

Thanks in advance for holding the Reggae Festival.
Reggae’s music represents the sound of life, love, joy, tears, and blood. It’s not just about the voice of one particular nation or group, but the voice of all humans. In my poster entitled “Reggae for all nations’’, using the festival symbol that is a lion, and inspired by ancient Iranian winged lion I tried to draw the poster. The winged lion symbolizes courage and power and protects humans from evil, lies, and magic. In my work inspired by the rhythm of Reggae’s music, I drew this abstract design that is flowing and soulful just like Reggae. I believe Reggae music has the potential to bridge across nations and bring them closer together
My wish was to present with this poster beauty that comes from Jamaica to the World through music and nature.
As the Reggae is a kind of musical religion, that joins people all around the world in “one love” I decided to make a poster of Saint Reggae.
Reggae brought peace to the world, freedom and dreams to the people.
Music is a key that can unlock the gaps and misunderstandings, starting from love and reaching for love.
The development of the poster consists of traditional African masks with modern elements, representing a lion, enjoying music.
REGGAE MUSIC BRINGS PEACE AND JOY IT IS MUSIC OF LOVE AND JOY
I love the music and above all the history and the stories behind every kind of music. The mento music is a style of Jamaican folk music that predates and has greatly influenced ska and reggae music. In my research I got hit the pictures of colorful instruments and I tried to draw this instrument, the rumba box, only luggage declared by this girl, reminding in these times where it could be always possible to travel and to take a piece of own cultural heritage without barriers, suspicions and marginalization. In this direction the message from Jamaica and its musical heritage through reggae is and has always been colorful claiming of peace and fight.
