Another underrated Jamaican musical great is Peter Tosh. In the past few years however he has begun to get some of the recognition he deserves with a posthumous award of Order of Merit from the Jamaican government and the creation of a museum dedicated to him. Located in New Kingston, the Peter Tosh Museum is open to anyone seeking to understand more of what made this man a legend, to comprehend what fueled his ideas, to gain a better understanding of his music, and to see unique artifacts that belonged to the singer.  It's small but well designed space and with a great guide the past comes alive. We recommend a visit.

Let us help you organise your trip to the Peter Tosh Museum. Email us at info@jaculture.com or call at 1 876 540 8570 (whatsapp).

Dennis Brown, Crown Prince of Reggae

The King of Reggae we all know to be Bob Marley. Who's the Prince of Reggae? That of course is Dennis Brown. If you think that's an overstatement listen to the YouTube video below. Seventy five (75) albums; work produced by the greats such as Clement Dodd, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Sly and Robbie; a Jamaican and international fan base that continues to this day. When he died in 1999 he had a massive funeral at which the then Prime Minister PJ Patterson spoke and praised his musical abilities. Reggae fans will want to visit the grave of Dennis Brown in Kingston to pay their respects and contemplate the rich music produced by this talented Jamaican. Jamaica Cultural Enterprises (JCE) can help you to plan this trip. No problem.

Sophia Dowe, Chief Trench Town Culture Yard Tour Guide
In Kingston alone there are three key Bob Marley related experiences: Bob Marley Museum, Tuff Gong International, and Trench Town Culture Yard. They each have a different flavour and help to give a more rounded story of Marley and his music. To visit Trench Town is to step into a different world, one of deprivation and creativity, conflict and community. I've been asked why do we run tours to this inner city community? Isn't it a glamourisation of poverty, a kind of ugly, self satisfied voyeurism?

The obvious answer is that for us it is none of these things. Trench Town Culture Yard is an initiative of the Trench Town Development Association which is a community run organisation. The tours provide a way for persons to earn a living. Tourism is a major contributor to the GDP in Jamaica, and if some of the income can go to the neediest segment of Jamaica, not in the form of a hand out but as payment for a product, why shouldn't it? On our tours we are very respectful of people's spaces, we go only where allowed by the community, and we go only so far within the community.

The tour itself, run by community guides proud of their heritage, gives a history of Trench Town, explains the life of  Bob Marley in Trench Town, and provides live music. Persons also have the option to leave the community run museum and walk with a guide through the streets of Trench Town. This is definitely a one of a kind experience, not to be missed, and wholly recommended. It may not be what you expected but it is guaranteed to be unforgettable.

To schedule a tour with us to Trench Town email info@jaculture.com or call 1 876 540 8570 (whatsapp).

"Smile, you're in Jamaica"

The Bob Marley Museum is undoubtedly one of Jamaica's top attractions. For many Marley fans, it can be the reason they visit. With the high energy guides, the wealth of information provided, and the feeling of being on hallowed ground, the Museum never fails to satisfy. We highly recommend a visit to Kingston for this reason.

Let us help you get there.  Our city tours do pick ups from Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay and if you're staying further afield we can advise you on how best to get to Kingston and take you around safely while you're here. Like Bob Marley sang, "Smile, you're in Jamaica."
