Jamaica Culture
This Roots and Culture flyer was displayed in Moscow, Russia. Even in a place as cold and as foreign as Russia, reggae rules. The Japanese love it, the Latinos too have their own favor of reggae known as Reggaeton.
So is reggae just for the Jamaicans? And is reggae just performed strictly by Jamaicans? The astounding answer to that question is, no.
