Visiting Jamaica is very ENTERTAINING!

The Jamaicans culture is expressed through local stories, songs, dances, the use of herbs and bush medicine, local beliefs, the preparation of indigenous foods and through religious practices. Jamaicans perform folk songs and dance mainly during festivals and independence celebrations. During celebrations, it is customary to wear their nation costumes, which is called the Bandana.

Jamaica is well-known for its enticing reggae music. So, I'd like to share some fun facts about this lively genre of music.

  1. Bob Marley will be worth $130 million if he was still alive, that's how influential he was that even after his demise. He always manages to inspire millions of people everywhere. Bob Marley's Legend album is the best selling and most popular reggae album of all time.

  2. Reggae was invented by accident. There was a reverb on the amp, which copied the chord on the offbeat. Today, there are about 200 Reggae Festivals worldwide held each year, the majority of which are in the USA.

  3. Did you know that there are over 15 music forms that were derived from reggae? It's made a significant impact on the music world even today.
