Listen and enjoy the best radios of Jamaica

Jamaican music has travelled a long way since Prince Buster, Millie Small, The Skatalites, and Desmond Dekker first entered the British Hit Parade in the early 1960s. Looking in the rear view mirror is cool but if we spend too long looking then we'll crash the bus. So, if the journey is to continue we must look to the future, to the road ahead, and much of that responsibility lies in the hands of today's new, up-and-coming artistes who are in the driving seat.

It's all systems go as the organisers of the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival prepare for this weekend's virtual staging which will run from this Thursday, March 4 to Saturday, March 6. The event, which has been on hiatus since 2015 when it was staged at the Multi-purpose Stadium in Trelawny, will be streamed via the festival's social media platforms each night and feature an array of local, regional and international acts.

Deejay Ajauni is hoping to bring a difference to the game with his natural flow and creative lyrics. He believes he can contribute something different from the current crop of trending artistes.

Singjay Artykal has reason to celebrate. His latest album, Celebration, generated 5,000 streams within one week of its release date on December 25, 2020.
