Diplo shares his Kingston dancehall diaries with Vanity Fair
Diplo, progenitor of a more globally-minded form of dance music, has kept a bit of a running travel log with Vanity Fair over the last year or so. In his latest installment, the American producer and DJ steps out into the world of dancehall in Kingston, Jamaica with photographer Shane McCauley. Dancehall, in case you're unfamiliar, is a "beat-heavy descendant of reggae" as Vanity Fair puts it. Diplo seems to travel back and forth between Jamaica and his home base in LA to work on new music with quite some frequency and he writes to us in his latest photo essay of the scene's intricacies and main characters.
