T WELCOME TO JAMAICA Beyond the shorelines, hotels and resorts is a place where heart meets beauty...A place where you can enjoy authentic and delicious cuisine as you discover unique ways of speaking...A place where you can vibe to good melodic music and dance to pulsating rhythms. Beyond the jungles and paradises is a culture of dominoes and sports at every corner that feeds the vibrant and free spirits of the people. There’s a culture of Bob Marley wailing through a sound box at the locals' favorite hotspot...The pelting rays of the tropical sun on your skin as you sip a cold Red Stripe Beer...bursts of laughter surrounding you. Beyond the shorelines, is the REAL Jamaica- rustic, outback and authentic in every sense of the word, and waiting to be discovered like a rare and hidden gem. Ahh...are you ready to uncover this unique little island? 3 Welcome to Jamaica! INTRODUCTION JAMAICA AT A GLANCE For some, Jamaica is the ideal beach vacation with white sands lined by the deep blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. For others, Jamaica is Bob Marley singing ‘Three Little Birds’...a Rastafarian high on life and marijuana. While for many, Jamaica is Usain Bolt pointing his arms to the sky in what has become his famous signature move, ‘To Di World.’ 4 Introduction: Jamaica At A Glance But while a glimpse of Jamaica might leave you with such impressions, they often turn out to be unfulfilling and for some, completely wrong...Like picturing a rasta every time you think of Jamaica though less than 1% of the island’s population identifies as such...Or thinking the population is always laid back and smoking marijuana when that’s quite far from the truth. Jamaica is much more complex than a few stereotypes that take control of our country’s identity. Jamaicans have a spirit that is hard to kill. From fighting for freedom in Maroon rebellions during slavery (the Jamaican Maroons are ancestors of slaves who escaped to mountains to form independent settlements as free men and women) to fighting for identity through music, dance, language, food and sports. The fire that burns within us never dies. 5 Introduction: Jamaica At A Glance It’s true to say that despite our size, we make great impacts across the world. And maybe it has a lot to do with the nature of our people- ever friendly, welcoming and funny! This guide takes you away from the tip of the iceberg and introduces you to a deeper side of the island’s culture- the side that you never miss but never get to fully experience. Well, now’s the time to change that. Come with me as I take you Beyond The Shorelines. 6 Words to Know Before You Go Words to Know Before You Go- Jamaican Patois Jamaica is a land that promotes unity, it’s why our motto is ‘Out of Many, One People’ which accounts for the diversity of ethnic groups and cultures in the country. But something that has always been exclusive to Jamaicans is our language. A sweet broken tongue that only the locals understand, called Patois (pronounced Patwa) or the Jamaican Creole. But it’s time you join the conversation. If you’re in Jamaica or planning a trip to Jamaica, you’ll hear the locals talking in a way you’ve never experienced before. The Jamaican Creole is a unique combination of West African and English words. It originated as a medium for communication between slaves and is still widely used by locals today. To foreign ears, it can be quite difficult to understand. But with these few Words to Know, you’ll be laughing through deep conversations with locals in no time! 8 WORDS TO KNOW, BEFORE YOU GO YOU SAY JAMAICANS SAY What’s Up? Wah gwaan, Whappen I will be right back Mi soon come Well done, Bye (a farewell & Big up yuh self, Respect greeting) See you later Likkle more, Walk good Go away Gweh Fantastic Irie Yeah Ya man Just a little Jus a toops Don’t mess with me Nuh ramp wid mi I don’t care Mi nuh biznizz Thinking of going to Jamaica or looking for a new and different travel experience? Well, book our Jamaican Patois tour here and get ready to learn more about what Jamaicans are really saying. 9 Sound of Sweet Jamaica THE MUSIC CULTURE When people think of Jamaica, one of the first things that come to their minds is Bob Marley. So much so that he almost becomes synonymous with the country itself. And it is undeniable that the King of Reggae, Bob Marley, is a huge part of our music culture. With songs like ‘One Love’ and ‘No Woman No Cry’ that seems to be the soundtrack of Jamaica, it’s no wonder why he’s such an iconic figure to the people of the island. But there’s much more to our music, outside of the legendary Marley’s. There’s Peter Tosh, Beres Hammond, Jimmy Cliff, Buju Banton, Shaggy and even the more recent Chronixx and Protoje. 10 Sound of Sweet Jamaica Even further outside of Reggae is Dancehall, Mento and Ska, all apart of Jamaica’s huge footprint in the music industry. Dancehall is one of the most recent emerging musical genres from Jamaica. It’s upbeat rhythm and lively nature feeds the energy of the people and drives the heart of the country. Even in Church, many of the songs have the upbeat reggae and dancehall rhythm which locals love to sing and dance to. Our music is so important to us that there’s no better way to connect with local people and understand local living than vibing to the soothing beat of Reggae and the pulsating rhythm of Dancehall. Can you hear that? The sound of sweet sweet Jamaica! 11 Sound of Sweet Jamaica Sample the Music: Our Reggae Playlist One Love Bob Marley and the Wailers The Harder They Come Jimmy Cliff Putting Up A Resistance Beres Hammond Legalize It Peter Tosh Money In My Pocket Dennis Brown Destiny Buju Banton It Was Written Damian Marley Who Knows Protoje Likes Chronixx Rapture Koffee Sample the Music: Our Dancehall Playlist Ting-a-Ling Shabba Ranks Ring the Alarm Tenor Saw Ghetto Story Baby Cham Girls Dem Sugar Beenie Man Zungguzungguzeng Yellowman Turn Me On Kevin Lyttle Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet Pinchers Murder She Wrote Chaka Demus and Pliers Gimme the Light Sean Paul Sycamore Tree Lady Saw Interested in learning more about Jamaica’s music culture? Book our Bob Marley tour and discover the history and magic behind his music! 12 DANCE WITH THE PEOPLE & Connect With Locals Dance With The People With music playing such a huge part of who we are as a people, naturally, dance isn’t far behind. And Jamaicans are nothing if not dancers. Dance is an integral part of our culture. It always has been and always will be. Jamaicans are born with a rhythm that’s hard to catch. Almost every local hotspot on the island has a music box blasting sounds that the locals can’t help but tap their feet and swing their shoulders to. It’s in our blood. It’s embedded in who we are and therefore is a perfect way to get a more intimate experience with our culture. Jamaicans dance for all reasons and at every occasion. They can’t help it. Track legend Usain Bolt dances on international tracks both before and after every race...It’s just something about the ‘Nuh Linga’ and ‘Gully Creepa’ (Jamaican dan ce moves) that helps him to relax. 14 Connect With Locals We dance to tell stories, for formal events, for worship, for social gatherings and cultural celebrations. From traditional dance forms like the Jonkonnu to more modern dance moves like Flairy, our history of dance is complex and ever developing. And it’s this love for music and dance that feeds our street dance culture offering locals nightly entertainment. With cultural party events like ‘Uptown Mondays’, ‘Weddy Weddy Wednesdays’ and ‘Chug It’, there’s never a dull moment on the island. But it’s time you experience it yourself. It’s time you unleash your island vibes and discover more about Jamaica’s intriguing dance forms as you uncover what it means to truly live like a local. Planning to be in Ocho Rios or nearby communities and interested in learning how to catch the rhythm? Book our Dance tour and explore one of the most exhilarating parts of the Jamaican culture! 15 REAL JAMAICAN COOKING L I K E A L O C A L Real Jamaican Cooking Like A Local Looking for an authentic foodie escape? Well, there’s simply nothing better than sampling real Jamaican cooking. Just imagine the smell of jerk chicken and pork being smoked over pimento wood, a MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE. But what makes Jamaican food so ethereal? The answer is obvious- It’s our unique blend of history and spices that make us tastefully distinct! Jamaica has a rich history of food.

"Like Royalty," produced by Ziah and Winta James, tells Protoje’s story of struggle to triumph and highlights the people in his life who have helped him along the way. In addition to Popcaan, the Storm Saulter directed visual has cameos from In.Digg.Nation Collective artists’ Sevana and Lila Iké and its affiliate Jaz Elise.

  • Lila Iké | ​Biography Lila Ike (Pronounced Lee-Lah Eye-Kay) Is on the Brink of Stardom. the 26-Year-Old Jamaican Songbird
    Lila Iké | ​Biography Lila Ike (pronounced Lee-lah Eye-kay) is on the brink of stardom. The 26-year-old Jamaican songbird has an edge and ease in her voice that creates an immediate gravitational pull with her listener, fusing contemporary reggae with elements of soul, hip-hop and dancehall. The free-spirited, easy-going singer has already released a handful of velvety smooth songs through In.Digg.Nation Collective, a record label and talent pool for Jamaican creatives, founded by reggae star Protoje. The ExPerience will be Lila Iké’s debut EP for Six Course/RCA Records in a new partnership with In.Digg.Nation Collective. She breathes a delicate testimony of love, infatuation, and spiritual guidance in the 7-track release out this Spring. The EP is padded with previously-released songs such as “Where I’m Coming From” and “Second Chance.” Pivoting from the singles that earned her international acclaim in 2018 and 2019, Lila Iké unveils playful seduction on “I Spy,” her first release of 2020 produced by Izy Beats (the hitmaker behind Koffee’s “Toast”). Beckoning with innocent flirtation over soft guitar licks, Lila in a sweet falsetto sings, ​“I spy I spy, that you see something you might like. Won’t you come over if you really mean it.” ​The layers to Lila are in full bloom as she opens up about the daily pressures she faces through her interaction with people and wanting peace of mind in “Solitude” — . On “Stars Align,” Lila flips the instrumental from Protoje’s “Bout Noon” into an anthem about falling in love through the metaphor of making music.

  • Rastalogy in Tarrus Riley's “Love Created I”
    Rastalogy in Tarrus Riley’s “Love Created I” Darren J. N. Middleton Texas Christian University f art is the engine that powers religion’s vehicle, then reggae music is the 740hp V12 underneath the hood of I the Rastafari. Not all reggae music advances this movement’s message, which may best be seen as an anticolonial theo-psychology of black somebodiness, but much reggae does, and this is because the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley OM, aka Tuff Gong, took the message as well as the medium and left the Rastafari’s track marks throughout the world.1 Scholars have been analyzing such impressions for years, certainly since the melanoma-ravaged Marley transitioned on May 11, 1981 at age 36. Marley was gone too soon.2 And although “such a man cannot be erased from the mind,” as Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga said at Marley’s funeral, less sanguine critics left others thinking that Marley’s demise caused reggae music’s engine to cough, splutter, and then die.3 Commentators were somewhat justified in this initial assessment. In the two decades after Marley’s tragic death, for example, reggae music appeared to abandon its roots, taking on a more synthesized feel, leading to electronic subgenres such as 1 This is the basic thesis of Carolyn Cooper, editor, Global Reggae (Kingston, Jamaica: Canoe Press, 2012). In addition, see Kevin Macdonald’s recent biopic, Marley (Los Angeles, CA: Magonlia Home Entertainment, 2012).
