Arrival
The Arrival - What Is For You : Part 1 We are please to announce a new serial "What is for You". This story tells the tale of Nadiya Foster, a Jamaican-born Canadian-bred university student who heads back to Jamaica, the land of her birth, for a one-year exchange program at UWI. During her year away from home, she reconnects with family, makes new friends, enters the St. Andrew social scene, and most importantly, falls in love. “What Is For You” is a love story, about Nadiya and the charming Jamaican medical student, Kevin Crawford, but it is even more so a love story about the island of Jamaica: her culture, her people, her beauty and her history. Topics touched upon include Rastafarianism, the arts in Jamaica, garrison politics, and classism and shadism.
Toots and Maytals
What's in a Song? - A List Jamaica Independence Festival Song Winners : Countdown to Jamaica 50 Edward Seaga once stated that the main reason for the inception of the Jamaica Independence Festival was to have to, "...have something to mobilize the spirit of the people," to celebrate after the long arduous process of achieving Independence in 1962.

Kingston: Vintage Jamaica - Countdown to Jamaica's 50th Independence What began as just another balmy picturesque day in paradise, ended for its inhabitants as the day the world as they knew it, violently shook and was literally casted upside down. By 1907, Jamaica, the tiny "...verdant beauty..." set in the middle of the Caribbean, like the magnificent jewel she was considered at the time, had established its resilience to Mother Nature's occasional tempestuous fury. Kingston, the bustling harbor town built integrally as a preferred alternative in terms of location to the city of Port Royal, (which had eventually succumbed to repeated tropical onslaughts of natural disasters), had experienced exponential population growth and was the country's center for commerce and trade.
Tram Car - Jamaica
Vintage Jamaica - The Tramcar There are those that are quite surprised by the discovery that in 1845, with the installation of a steam railroad line between Kingston and Spanish Town, the Island of Jamaica was among the first in the Americas to establish a tramcar system as a means of "modern" mass transportation.
Anancy
Anansi-a-dead-oh!

Same time me bawl out  ‘Murder!  Blue murder!’  
Marketing 101 Jamaican Style
Marketing 101-Yardie Style If you’ve ever done a course in Marketing you would know the importance of the FOUR P’s-product, price, place (location) and promotion.  Any marketer worth anything will tell you that if you do not focus on these four things-yuh product nah go sell. That might be true but it seems that these fancy-schmancy marketers may need to come take a course in Marketing at the University of Downtown Kingston, Jamaica, cause wi good bad enuh.
Jamaican Cartoons
The Vital Role Jamaican Cartoonists Play The English definition of a Cartoonist is a person who specializes in drawing cartoons. The work is usually of a humorous nature and created for satire and informative purposes. Cartoons are used for entertainment, commentary and for the enlightenment of political issues.. A vital part of the Jamaican culture has been the cultivation of several brilliant artists who remain unknown due to their love of true art, and refusing to sell out to commercialism. Jamaica has been fortunate to have two distinguished Cartoonists in their midst whose Artwork or Cartoons have been seen all over the world and created social awareness for Jamaica.
