Minority Music is an independent cultural imprint curating art and sound from the margins.
​
Founded to ignite consciousness and turn history into rhythm and reflection, the label exists at the intersection of research and resonance.
​
Its catalogue delivers poetic commentary on the sonics of the African diaspora, weaving experimental storytelling through each release - works that challenge perception as much as they entertain.
With minimalist presentation and maximal intent, Minority Music treats every release as documentation of identity in motion.
The debut series introduces the pseudonymous cultural commentator Garvey Cabral, whose projects honour Queen Nanny of the Maroons and dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah.
His forthcoming debut album, Benn vs Eubank - Volume I of Infinite Games, explores Black British male identity through the lens of two epic rivalries, using boxing and its history as metaphor.
Minority Music treats AI like a DJ’s turntable - a tool for sampling sound, language, and memory in new configurations.
Every Garvey Cabral track begins as text: researched, written, and reasoned.
​
AI expands these foundations the way a producer layers samples or a historian layers evidence - adding tone, texture, and context to the story.
​
The aim is not to compete with artists or musicians, but to ignite consciousness and provide a griot-like record of history through lived and inherited narratives.
​
At best, these pieces serve as reference tracks for future collaboration, remix, and retelling.
We call our albums Musical Essays - researched like dissertations, delivered with rhythm and vernacular resonance,
stitched together with the thread
of personal and
ancestral
memory.

B-Z (Benjamin Zephaniah)
A classical reggae reflection on Britain’s late dub poet laureate. Garvey Cabral channels Benjamin Zephaniah’s balance of humour, defiance, and hope — a reminder that you don't have to betray who are to enjoy success, even in Babylon! As a cultural commentator, educated in the UK, this is a personal tribute, written by Cabral and musically assisted by AI to pay homage.
