WHAT IS THE WINDRUSH ERA?
The Windrush era refers to a period in post-World War II history when the United Kingdom invited citizens from the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica, to immigrate and help rebuild the country. The Windrush era had a profound impact on the music scene in the UK, as Jamaican immigrants brought with them a rich musical heritage. Reggae & Ska music found a receptive audience in the UK and contributed to the multicultural tapestry of British music, with the birth of genres such as Jungle, UK Garage & Grime.

The era's impact is still evident today, with various artists and genres in the UK drawing inspiration from the diverse musical heritage introduced during the Windrush era.
