    Extractions: The Jamaica Cultural Alliance promoting the best of Jamaica, its people and their multi-faceted lifestyles email: JCA@jamaicaculture.org Home About Best of Jamaica ... Online Resources JCA recognizes that the future of Jamaican culture relies on each succeeding generation of Jamaicans ensuring that traditions never die. As such, one of its prime objectives is the encouragement of cultural activities and the cultivation of the talents of Jamaican youth. Under the "I Can Fly" program, JCA facilitates cultural youth exchanges, mentors new and emerging talent, and nurtures the artistic creativity of the next generation of Jamaicans both here and abroad. This program is also a vehicle for JCA members to give back to the country in a way that supports the youth who follow in our footsteps, but whose achievements come under conditions which have long since become more adverse. "I Can Fly" is a catalyst for identifying and developing youthful Jamaican talent. Additionally, "I Can Fly" is designed to address the insurmountable challenges and culture shock faced by young Jamaicans who migrate to other parts of the globe. In many instances these young people often find themselves faced with the harsh realities of deportation with no recourse as a result of association with the wrong company and having no where to turn. The building of the future Jamaican Cultural Center will further address these issues with mentoring programs that reach out to these young people and by providing for after-school interests such as athletic activities, homework and research, and direct participation in cultural activities.

    Extractions: An Extraordinary Cultural Medley To understand the origin of Jamaica culture, you could go as far back as several centuries ago. The Arawaks or Tainos were the original coast-dwelling inhabitants of Jamaica who have left a trace of their culture in modern Jamaica. For instance, words such as 'hammock' 'canoe' , and 'barbecue' are all thought to be derived from Taino words. Because of its 300-year history under British rule as a stronghold of slavery, Jamaica culture is a rich mix of traditions including African, British, Spanish, Asian, and countless others, bringing their own traditions and adding it to the already eclectic pot. And the result? Jamaicans mainly speak English mixed with the local expressions, idioms and old-fashioned terms typically associated with the Elizabethan period. Our language or Jamaican English, known as patois enjoyed some popularity internationally, receiving treatment from Louise Bennett, Andrew Salkey and Michael Smith. According to Jamaican folklore, Jamaica music originated from the Christian culture. In fact, the majority of Jamaicans are Christian, mainly of the Anglican and Church of God variety... and many a Jamaican musician has had his or her training in a Christian church in Jamaica.

While sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to most types of Jamaican music , the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that originated following on the development of ska and rocksteady Reggae is based on a rhythmic style characterized by accents on the off-beat , known as the skank . Reggae is normally slower than both ska and rocksteady. Reggae usually accents the second and fourth beat in each bar , with the rhythm guitar also either emphasising the third beat or holding the chord on the second beat until the fourth is played. It is mainly this "third beat", its speed and the use of complex bass lines that differentiated reggae from rocksteady, although later styles incorporated these innovations separately.

    Extractions: Time and Date Family life is central to most Jamaicans, although formal marriages are less prevalent there than in most other countries. It is common for three generations to share a home. Many women earn wages, particularly in households where men are absent, and grandmothers normally take charge of preschool children. Wealthier Jamaican families usually employ at least one domestic helper. The main meal is almost always in the evening, because most people do not have time to prepare a midday meal and children normally eat at school. Some families eat together, but television has increasingly replaced conversation at the dinner table. The exception to this rule is Sunday, when tradition dictates that even poor families enjoy a large and sociable brunch or lunch, usually including chicken, fish, yams, fried plantains, and the ubiquitous rice and peas.

    Extractions: Design by Free CSS Templates Culture can be defined as the customs, achievements, beliefs, speech and mannerisms of a particular civilization or group. Culture is everything that is learnt by man. The Jamaica culture is shaped by our relationship with our history and environment, this means, that no culture is better or worse than any other, but each society has a unique culture. The major components of culture are knowledge, language and beliefs. Jamaica culture is an experience that is derived from the vibrancy of our rich heritage from our ancestors and the warmth of the people. The Jamaican motto is ā€œOut of Many, One Peopleā€, which reflects the great mix of food, music, history and customs from our ancestors. Jamaican folklore in our culture can be seen through, the stories, songs, dances and practices which give emotional support and a sense of belonging and acceptance to the people of the community. The story telling is derived from the slaves who would gather at nights outdoors to sing, dance, play games, tell Anancy stories and guess the answer the riddles. Proverbs would also be part of their daily interaction with each other.

    Extractions: Jamaica's Culture Home Page History Culture National Emblems ... Contact Me From hotel beach parties to the raw discos of the working-class suburbs, Jamaica reverberates to the soul-riveting sounds of calypso, soca (a soul-calypso fusion) and reggae. Music is everywhere. Historical awareness infuses visual arts as well as music, and Jamaica's blend of ethnic traditions is manifest in its cusine, with its Arawak Indian, Spanish, African, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese and British influences. Try a breakfast of skyjuice (shaved ice mixed with syrup) and ackee (a tree-grown fruit that bears an uncanny resemblance to scrambled eggs when cooked). Jamaica's homegrown cuisine is a fusion of many ethnic traditions, with Arawak Indian, Spanish, African, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese and British influences all detectable. A typical Jamaican breakfast is ackee , a tree-grown fruit that bears an uncanny resemblance to scrambled eggs when cooked. Lunch is usually a light snack, maybe a heavily seasoned meat or vegetable pie. Main meals usually feature goat or pork, usually curried, served with rice and beans. Seafood dishes are also popular, often pickled and fried with peppers and onions. Jamaica's most popular dish is jerk , a term that describes the process of cooking meats smothered in tongue-searing marinade, and barbecued slowly in an outdoor pit over a fire of pimento wood, which gives the meat its distinctive flavor. Tea is a generic Jamaican term for any hot, brewed drink, and may be herbal, mixed with rum, milk, spices and even fish. Beware of marijuana or hallucinogenic mushroom teas, which may be more than you bargained for in an after-dinner digestive! Skyjuice is a favorite cool drink, made from shaved ice flavored with syrup. Coconut juice, straight from the nut, is also popular. Beer and rum are the most popular alcoholic drinks. Jamaican Blue Mountains coffee is among the most flavorsome in the world, but due to farcical authentication and licensing requirements, much of what is sold as the genuine article is not all it's cracked up to be.
