Jamaica–Music

Jamaica is a small island nation that has had a disproportionate influence on global music and culture, perhaps because Jamaican musicians traditionally digest global influences and fuse them with Afro-Caribbean rhythms and spirit, transforming them into something electrifying and new. Jamaican musicians have either originated or advance dozens of musical styles, such as (in rough chronological order):

KUMINA

NYABINGHI

MENTO

SKA

ROCKSTEADY

REGGAE

DUB

DANCEHALL/RAGGA

Today, Jamaican musicians fuse all of the above, simultaneously reviving Jamaican roots and soaking in more international influences to create…who knows? We’ll just have to see.
