From Soca to Dennery Segment and Bouyon, this WOMEX 25 session puts the spotlight on the richness and untapped potential of Caribbean music. Soca, Dennery Segment, Bouyon and Beyond explores how these vibrant genres can be better preserved, documented, and monetised in today’s global market.
Chaired by Martin A. James and featuring Professor Dr. Mike Alleyne, Dr. Keith Nurse, and Dr. Erica K. Smith, the discussion addresses the structural challenges that have left many Caribbean sub-genres underrepresented in publishing and rights management systems. The panel shares practical insights on navigating global copyright frameworks, improving digital tracking, and building international licensing opportunities.
