Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Jamaica's Independence!
Join us for a special 1 hour mix by our friend and DJ Mixmaster J, packed full of major hits and previously unissued tracks all of which were recorded in the year that the island became a sovereign nation: 1962.
All of the tracks featured in this mix are also on our brand new album - Rise Jamaica! released especially for this special occasion.
Out Now - Trojan.lnk.to/...
Jamaica gained independence from the United Kingdom on 6th August 1962 and since that historic day 60 years ago, the island has had a profound influence across the globe. This is particularly true of the island’s music industry. In 1964, ska music took the world by storm with its successor rock steady initially dominating the local music scene, although it was the development of the irresistible sound of reggae in 1968 that ultimately led to what has become a long-time love of Jamaican music around
the globe.
Today, Jamaica stands a proud, independent nation which continues to inspire and influence many around the world. This album pays tribute to the artistry, ingenuity and brilliance of its people.
A note from Mixmaster J - This mix is dedicated to my Dad Neville Scarlett, my Granny Miss Mavis and my Wife Stacey. Plus, a special thanks goes out to Lisa Bigger Monroe, my Brother Special K Bob and Jackie Shinehead. Thank you God and thanks to Trojan Records for the opportunity.
Happy Independence Day all!
