I'm totally hooked - can't stop watching this. Absolutely brilliant. I would fly to Jam Down to watch them if I knew they were performing. Love it and my Jamaican culture.

[@LoveMusicBad]

Thanks for this because I was wondering what he said at 3:36 that caused the laughter. But you shared this. Thanks.
