An unapologetic tribute to the beauty and brutality of dancehall music.
Fire Inna Dancehall is an unapologetic tribute to the beauty and brutality of dancehall music.
Through a series of micro-essays, Derek Bardowell captures the crucial moments in the genre''s history while revealing how it gave birth to contemporary pop music. This collage of stories explores the global impact of dancehall through its major artists, events, producers, and songs. Fire Inna Dancehall contains original interviews, commentary, myth, and social history while exploring Bardowell''s relationship with his Jamaican heritage and its politics.

Dancehall isn''t just music. It''s a philosophy, a survival strategy, a rebellion in riddim.

A searing and expansive exploration that sings with conviction, Fire Inna Dancehall traces the cultural, political and sonic genealogy of dancehall-from the sound clashes of Kingston to the global charts, Vybz Kartel to Burna Boy, dubplates to diasporic identity.

Blending memoir, reportage and critique, Bardowell makes the case that dancehall is not only Jamaica''s most influential cultural export but one of the world''s most misunderstood art forms.

Brave, lyrical and unapologetically Black, Fire Inna Dancehall does not seek permission to exist but insists on being heard.
