Description
RCI Dancehall is one of eleven streams that Radio Caraibes International offers beside its main Martinique and Guadeloupe services, and it is the one given over entirely to dancehall. There is no presenter and no schedule: it is a continuous music channel, listed in RCI's own player next to RCI Zouk, RCI Compas, RCI Kassav, RCI Tradition and RCI Live. What it plays is not only Jamaican. In one stretch it moved from SAIK's Creole Lannwit kon la joune to Beenie Man's We Run Road and Leftside's Ghetto Gyal Wine, so Antillean dancehall in Creole sits right beside the Kingston catalogue. Short advert breaks punctuate the rotation, and the channel has no page of its own anywhere on the site.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| homepage url | https://radoxo.com/martinique/rci-dancehall → https://rci.fm/martinique/ | The stored radoxo.com value is a directory. RCI's own Martinique site lists this channel by name in two places I read: the radio picker (data-value="dancehall", alt="RCI Dancehall", span 'RCI Dancehall') and the 'Les autres radios' carousel (data-title="Dancehall"), alongside RCI Martinique, RCI Guadeloupe, NRJ Martinique, Bel Radio Martinique, OWA, RCI Compas, RCI Kassav, RCI Zouk, RCI Tradition and RCI Live. So Dancehall is genuinely one of RCI's channels. It has no page of its own, so the operator's Martinique site is the correct homepage. |
| stream url
confirmed
|
https://stream.rcs.revma.com/5stt0yrtpwzuv → https://stream.rcs.revma.com/5stt0yrtpwzuv | This is the data-audio value RCI's own player attaches to the Dancehall entry. Fetched: it 302s to a tokenised Triton edge and serves audio/mpeg at 128 kbps. Its inline metadata logged SAIK 'LANNWIT KON LA JOUNE', Beenie Man 'WE RUN ROAD' and Leftside 'GHETTO GYAL WINE', which matches a dancehall channel. || the field already held this value |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| radoxo.com as its homepage | that is a directory listing rather than the operator's site. RCI's own Martinique site, which carries the channel in its player and its navigation, was filed instead.
source |
| Jardinons, Le repondeur, Pare-chocs, RCI Midi, Sante a la carte and Avis d'obseques 972 | these are RCI Martinique's programmes, not this channel's. Handing a parent's schedule to a music stream is exactly the error to avoid.
source |
| an icy-name, genre or homepage from the stream | the Triton mount returns empty icy-name, icy-url, icy-genre and icy-description, so nothing was taken from the headers.
source |
| a language code | the channel carries no speech and its operator says nothing about its language. Two Creole tracks and two Jamaican ones are not enough to fill the field, and the available Creole codes do not cleanly cover Martinican.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
