A Tour of Jamaica!

 Welcome To Jamaica!

History & Culture

Jamaica is a beautiful country full of culture that started long ago even before Christopher Columbus discovered it in 1494. The Arawak and Taino peoples discovered it and called it Xaymaca, this meant "Land of Wood and Water" when the English acquired the island they changed it to Jamaica. Jamaica has many unique cuisines, such as Goat curry, Jerk chicken, and Ackee. Ackee is usually served with Codfish, this is one of Jamaica's national dishes. Jerk chicken is a favorite of Jamaica's traditional foods, they marinate or dry-rub the chicken with the cook's choice of spices then slow cook it on an open grill over hot coals. Lastly, Goat curry is a traditional dish made up of goat meat, garlic, onions, ginger, hot peppers, and of course Jamaican curry. Jamaica is also very well known for their music, Reggae. Bob Marley was one of the most successful reggae artists, he became very popular and was a idol for the Rastafari community. Bob Marley eventually was diagnosed with a form of cancer in 1977, he ignored doctors' orders and continued on his tour in 1980. Bob Marley passed away on May 11th 1981, his cause of death was the melanoma that had spread to his lungs and brain. He is still idolized by the reggae community and remembered by all of the world.
