Top 10 Countries That Love Jamaica 🇯🇲 (You'll Be Surprised By Number ONE)
Jamaica is an island smaller than Connecticut with a population under 3 million — yet it has conquered the world through culture, music, food, and sheer force of personality. In this documentary, we count down the 10 countries that love Jamaica the most, from surprising nations you'd never expect to the one country where Jamaican culture has become inseparable from national identity.
From the massive reggae sound system parties of São Luís, Brazil — where they call their city "the Jamaica of Brazil" — to the dancehall clubs of Tokyo, Japan, where a crew from Yokohama won the World Clash sound system competition... from the Rastafarian community living on land granted by Emperor Haile Selassie in Shashamane, Ethiopia, to the jerk chicken shops that outnumber fish and chip shops in parts of London... Jamaica's cultural reach is unlike anything else on the planet.
This isn't just about reggae music. This is about how a tiny Caribbean island shaped hip hop (DJ Kool Herc), transformed British music (jungle, grime, drum and bass, dubstep), influenced European festival culture (Summerjam, Dub Camp, Notting Hill Carnival), and embedded itself into the food, fashion, language, and daily lives of people on every continent.
