"Ethnic diversity
has endowed the island of Jamaica with a multifaceted cultural mosaic that has
enriched her cultural expression. It is what makes a visit to Jamaica unlike a
visit to any other place on earth. From music and dance to theatre, film and the
fine arts; whether you’re looking to retrace roots or just take in something
new and different, you’ll find more to learn about and lots more to love
in Jamaica, long considered the cultural capital of the Caribbean. At the foot
of the Blue Mountains, overlooking the world’s seventh-largest natural harbor,
Jamaica’s vibrant capital is the largest (population 850,000) English-speaking
city south of Miami. The center of the country’s government and commerce,
Kingston is truly the heartbeat of Jamaica, with a wide array of historical and
cultural attractions, along with sophisticated nightlife and dining, that offers
a cosmopolitan contrast to the rest of the island’s slow and easy pace. "
