Jamaica Tourist Board says: “The Art of Music JAMAICA Jazz and Blues
Festival has now established itself as one of the biggest and best
events on the music festival calendar, both in Jamaica and globally.
This year’s festival will be especially significant as Jamaica
celebrates its 50th Anniversary of Independence and as a result, a focus
will be placed on the island’s world renowned music styles, plus more
mainstream, internationally recognisable music. As well as enjoying
music from some of the world’s best musical performers, the festival
also offers visitors the opportunity to discover the diversity of
Jamaica’s attractions, culture, food and of course world-class beaches.”
