Its foods are hot and spicey yet tatalizingly tasty. The music is hard and heavy but can hypnotize you with its groovy rhythms. Jamaica culture has a slow and laid back pace that belies the intense spirits and determination of its people. The shaping of a Culture Jamaica culture was shaped by its history. From colonization to independence, from slavery to emancipation, every event helped to mould our present culture. Jamaicans are not indigenous to the Island; we are all immigrants. They includes Africans, Europeans, East Indians, Chineses, Arabs, Jews, and persians among others. These groups came to Jamaica for different reasons and through different circumstances. The English were the colonial masters; the Irish and Germans were plantation managers and imported laborers; the Jews sought religious freedom under the British flag; the Syrians and Lebanese came as merchants and investors; the Chinese and Indians were indenture servants, and the Africans were brought there as slaves.

   Extractions: Distinctive! Symbolic of our heritage and history, 'Jamaica culture' was fashioned around the mixture and influences of its many peoples. Our motto "Out of Many one People" perhaps provide the perfect definition and insight into our culture. We boast a rich blend of African, European, Chinese, Indian and some middle eastern cultures. Of course the early Taino settlers played a pivotal role in our culture as well. Many of our foods today, for example, are prepared similar to the way it was prepared by the eary Taino settlers then. The concept of 'Jerk' as well as cassava preparations were inherited from this friendly tribe that inhabited Jamaica then. By the way, the name Jamaica came directly from them, who called the island 'Xaymaca' meaning 'the land of wood and water'. The areas of Dance, Music, Folklore, Religion and Language have benefited tremendously from this amalgamation of cultures. Visit my Religions in Jamaica Revivalism in Jamaica and my Reggae Music pages for more. The Jamaica Cultural Development Commission organises the cultural activities of the country. They also host several yearly competitions in the arts. During our annual independence celebrations, displays and exhibitions in these areas form part of it. The Jamaican art movement goes back to the early part of the century. Today, many Jamaican artists are internationally acclaimed. Among these are the late Edna Manley, who emerged as a visionary mother of art in Jamaica.

   Extractions: Home Jamaica > Jamaica Culture Jamaica Culture Jamaica culture embodies a rich blend of culture that has long ago inhabited the island. Often called a nation “out of many, one people’, Jamaica culture is a many-sided mixture of international traditions and customs, from its ancestors of Spanish and British settlers, to the West African slaves who brought cultural elements, to the East Asian and Indian immigrants who arrived at the island as indentured servants. The Taino Indians had the biggest influence on language and food in Jamaica culture. In fact, the name Jamaica comes from the Taino word Xaymaca “the land of wood and water’. Other words of Taino influence are Cohiba for Tobacco, Tabaco for the pipe from which they smoke, and Hamaca for hammocks used as beds. Influence on food includes maize, cassava, waterfowl, and seafood. The diet of Taino´s became the diet of the early Spanish colonists, and the native plants remained through time, although manatees and iguanas are not part of the present-day Jamaican diet. The Rastafari are the best known part of Jamaica culture through the reggae music and Rastafarians who are popular all over the world for playing uniquely syncopated style arising from another Jamaican sound. An artist like Bob Marley, from Kingston Jamaica is definitely the best known performer of this Jamaica style of music. Rastafarianism is a Jamaica religion that is based on the Christian King James Bible, which is read in an Ethiopianist way. A number of “rastas’ carry their hair in dreadlocks and others eat only l-tal food which is like a vegan diet where they stay away from certain foods. Rastafarianism however, does not have a well-defined doctrine. However, Jamaica is predominantly a Christian country with big groups of Anglicans, Baptists, and Roman Catholics.
