About this listen

Indulge in the vibrant pulse of Jamaican culture with this exceptional addition to your book collection. Songs of Jamaica holds the distinguished honor of being the first-ever book published in Jamaican Patois, also known as Patwah.

Immerse yourself in the vivacious and expressive language that has resonated far beyond its island origins, finding a global voice. Jamaican Patwah forms soulful lyricism in various Jamaican music genres, ranging from traditional folk songs to the infectious rhythms of Ska, reggae, and dancehall. Moreover, this charismatic language has crossed the digital realm, infusing social media posts with a unique blend of Patois and English. This hybridization, or "code-switching," creates a captivating stylistic contrast that echoes the vibrant duality of Jamaican culture. Experience the captivating melodies of Jamaican Patois with Songs of Jamaica, a definitive must-have for any lover of Jamaican culture.
