Prime Minister Bruce Golding and the Honourable Olivia Grange, minister of information, culture, youth and sports, will meet with players from the island's music industry at Jamaica House today.

The meeting is to discuss appropriate actions to deal with negative and lewd lyrics in the Jamaican music industry. Top deejays Vybz Kartel and Mavado are among the entertainers confirmed for the meeting.

The conference should begin at 10:30 a.m. in the banquet hall and will be attended by some 50 persons.

The meeting resulted from the heated debate in the last few days over the coarseness of dancehall lyrics and the Broadcasting Commission's move to ban all daggering songs and songs that require bleeping.

Minister Grange said in a release issued earlier this week that the Government does not believe in censorship, but must see to a balance in content in public spaces as children in particular are exposed to it.

She said the Government and the music industry will be partnering in the effort and that they hope to come out of today's meeting with a clear direction as to how the situation will be addressed.
