Commemorating 60 years of Jamaica’s independence, rum brand Wray & Nephew announces it will be an official partner at this year’s Notting Hill Carnival, taking place August 28th. The first-ever “Wray stage” at Emslie Horniman Pleasance Park is set to deliver an unforgettable music experience as the festival returns after a three-year break.
Wray & Nephew will curate a selection of top artists and DJs, all serving up a dose of sound system culture and sunshine sounds. Expect the stage to reflect the island’s powerful contribution to music over the decades; from reggae, ska and dancehall, through to its influence on British genres such as lovers’ rock, jungle, rap, garage and grime, ensuring there are sounds and beats for every Carnival-goer to enjoy.
Carnival-goers will be able to sip on an authentic Jamaican Wray Rum Punch whilst enjoying the brand’s line-up of leading-edge musical talent.
