In a spectacular display of Jamaican culture, Buju Banton’s This Is Jamaica has achieved a remarkable milestone, with both the official music video and the dance video – featuring dancers and choreographers Chriss Choreo and Orville – each surpassing one million views organically in just one month. The dance video pays homage to some of Jamaica’s most iconic dances, perfectly capturing the island’s pulsating rhythm and moves, propelling it to viral status. As Jamaica celebrates its 62nd year of Independence, Buju Banton reflects on this special moment: “I’m deeply grateful that This Is Jamaica has resonated with so many people not just here at home, but across the globe.
To see this happen during our Independence celebration makes it even more special.” Buju has once again captured the crown, proving that Jamaican culture continues to inspire and connect with audiences worldwide.

The show will feature live painting and will have personalised commissions as part of the offer. Founder of Worlds Collide Ja, Stefan Amali, noted that “Kingston is the destination for art.
We want to broaden the scope of the city with this luxurious event, which combines the skill of talent of artists from the Caribbean region”. The show will feature the best in cuisine, fashion, music, and modern art from the Caribbean region. A private showing is scheduled for August 28.
Worlds Collide Ja is the fusion of modern, visual art with fashion and music designed to exhilarate and liberate young Jamaicans from the redundancy of myopic thinking towards wealth..
