Before reggae had a name, before it carried political weight or spiritual symbolism, before it traveled the world—it had a feel. And that feel was shaped, refined, and standardized by a Trinidad-born guitarist named Lynn Taitt.

In Jamaica, Boxing Day is anything but quiet. Falling on December 26, it’s a day when the island steps fully into celebration mode—where Christmas calm gives way to pulsating drums, colorful costumes, and one of the Caribbean’s most powerful cultural expressions: Jonkonnu.

When the sun dips behind the Blue Mountains and the golden glow fades over the Caribbean Sea, Jamaica transforms. The island’s heartbeat gets louder, faster, and unmistakably vibrant. Nightlife in Jamaica isn’t just entertainment—it’s culture, rhythm, and pure island energy woven together in a way only Jamaica can deliver.
