There is not a better time to book with a travel advisor than 2023. Vacations are supposed to be stress free and booking with a travel advisor can give you piece of mind. Just think of what they have endured in the last years from computer’s meltdown to pandemics to flight cancellations.

We have learned how to solve obstacles that may come up and have developed new specialties. Our expertise also keep improving and we gain more skill as we travel to make sure you have the same experiences in your trips.

My advice is to use a travel advisor for your next trip, their service is something that computers will never match.

The history of reggae music dates back to thelate 1950s when “ska” was born. Ska (a precursor to reggae) was influenced by both the Afro-Revival music and North American rhythm and blues which had infiltrated the island through imported records and radio broadcasts. The tempo, energetic and upbeat, served as a reflection of the national mood in Jamaica’s quest for independence, but as strife hit the country in 1966 and the country’s independence failed to materialize, the national mood shifted and sodid the popular music.

Ska was followed by a short-lived“rocksteady” genre which was followed reggae which entered the scene in 1968 and launched a musical revolution. A genre that demanded the voices of the suffering and oppressed be heard, reggae played a large part in transforming Jamaica’s national identity to a “conscious Black nation” with proud African heritage.

When the time is right, I will help you visit Jamaica in person! For now, enjoy this playlist of reggae music:
