Y ahí, entre las hermosas montañas jamaicanas, es de donde nace el fa- moso café Blue Mountain, cuyo aroma te empapa y te acompaña desde la mañana hasta la noche. 13 PARQUES TEMÁTICOS RAINFOREST ADVENTURES El parque temático por excelencia.

  • 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.

  • Hezron Biography
    HEZRON Hezron, the consummate artiste; adored by females and highly respected by males. His music can be described as enchanting, mesmerizing, soothing, yet militant and hard hitting. His ability to simultaneously charm, captivate and motivate his fans, has definitely cemented his place as a rare and exceptional talent. Hezron Clarke was born and raised during his earlier years in the District of Moy Hall District, St. James, Jamaica. Hezron developed his talent being an ardent member of his church choir and his musical gift was evident to his family and friends who facilitated its development, however possible. Hezron continued to expand on the dexterity of his vocals by travelling abroad and naturally transitioning into singing R&B. As his calling was deeply embedded in the rich Reggae music of his homeland, he was compelled to return to Jamaica to fulfil his true calling of being an outstanding Reggae artiste. Hezron began unleashing a series of hit singles that instantly garnered serious attention within the local music industry. Singles such as “So In Love,” which was also a part of Tad’s Record’ Singers Compilation CD, ‘Hit List’ and VP Records’ “Strictly the Best Vol. 41.” The song also made a significant impact on the overseas charts, particularly on the South Florida and New York Top 20 charts, where it spent 25 weeks on those charts. It was also a success on the Jamaican charts as it spent 2 weeks at number one on the “Richie B’s” Music Countdown chart. Over the last 6 years, Hezron has been locking the stage show circuit in Jamaica, delivering one captivating performance after another.

Somos actrices con más de quince años de experiencia a nivel profesional y como grupo tenemos cuatro años. Ambas nos dedicamos íntegramente y totalmente al teatro, creando obras teatrales y difundiéndolas y también desarrollamos actividades en el área pedagógica con talleres de teatro dirigidos a niños, jóvenes y mujeres de base sin experiencia artística. Una de las líneas fundamentales de P´hajsi Teatro es investigar y crear sobre el mundo femenino, es así que tenemos 3 obras teatrales que giran en torno al universo de la mujer. La primera estrenada el año 2009 se llama ESTATICA - 20 MUJERES AL VIENTO, inspirada en la magistral obra escultórica de Marina Nuñez del Prado, en esta obra participaron más de 30 artistas de diferentes ,áreas como la literatura, el video, la música, las artes plásticas y el teatro. La segunda HILADAS estrenada el 2010, son cuatro historias cortas sobre mujeres y se tocan temas como la migración, la soledad, la sobrevivencia y la vejez. Y nuestra última obra LA ENGAÑIFA estrenada en mayo de 2011, toca el tema de trata y tráfico de mujeres para la explotación sexual. Creemos firmemente que el arte en general, pero por sobretodo el arte teatral es un instrumento para sensibilizar, prevenir y por qué no cambiar las tremendas situaciones de violencia e injusticia que existen hacia las mujeres y niñas. Para realizar nuestra última obra sobre la trata y tráfico de mujeres hemos investigado sobre el tema más de seis meses y toda la información que hemos recopilado y que hemos tenido que hacer carne, es estremecedora, terrible, injusta y ha hecho también que nos ratifiquemos en nuestro camino artístico, se tiene que hacer algo.

  • Jamaica Is for the Music Lovers
    Jamaica is for the music lovers Posted by JaydenTerrell On 12/11/2017 The beautiful Caribbean island of Jamaica is famous for its gorgeous beaches, spectacular resorts and reggae music being the birthplace of the legendary artist Bob Marley. However, Jamaican music is not only about reggae; the island has a vibrant musical heritage, which dates back to colonial times when the island was a hub for slave labor hailing from Africa. The African slaves brought their brand of music to the island and elements such as the one-drop rhythms and the call and response technique today feature prominently in many forms of Jamaican music including reggae. The earliest forms of Jamaican music included folk songs, gospel singing and then in the 1940’s a genre of Jamaican music called Mento emerged from the amalgamation of the sounds of Trinidadian calypso, Brazilian samba, and the Argentinian tango. Mento features the sounds a big brass drum called Mbira. Mento was then followed by the birth of a form of music called Ska music in the 1960’s. Ska music has upbeat rhythms and American rhythm &blues influences. Soon after Ska came a transitory period during which a form of music called Rocksteady rose to prominence. This genre of Jamaican music showcased a slower beat, and it transformed into the world-famous sound of Reggae Music. Reggae, which has social messages at its core, became extremely popular not only in Jamaica but the world over. Jamaican superstars such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Lee Perry and others came to be household names.
