Dancehall, or reggae, music has inspired a number of dance styles as well. To understand the evolution of popular dance, it helps to understand the musical progression. Ska music, with fast beats, also had fast dances. The slow to rocksteady also developed slower dances, allowing dancers to stay on the floor longer. Reggae is associated with many things, including the Rastafarian movement, but influenced the newer styles. Dancehall music often creates its own dances based on moves in the lyrics of the songs themselves.
We are fun fulfilled people who love to dance and love the hot weather. We wear uniforms to school, cannot wear jewelry, make up or anything that is not in the dress code rules. They also search for weapons every morning before school. and we have (devotion) a form of worship where we sing and pray before school.
What do you think of our culture is it something you would want to have lived?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY CULTURE. I WOULDN'T LIVE THERE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM BUT FOR VACATION OR TO SEE A GOOD TIME. THATS MY PLACE.
Jamaican culture represents a combination of cultures that have inhabited the Greater Antilles island, Jamaica. The original Taino Settlers, followed by their Spanish conquerors (who were in turn conquered by the British), all made major contributions. However, it is the blacks and slaves who became the dominant cultural force as they suffered and resisted the harsh conditions of forced labour.
In Jamaica we speak 3 languages in one. And it comes from being ruled by the English, French and Spanish. Our mixture of languages is called Creole.
Ganja is their superior source of life.Rasta cultural traditions include wearing their hair in uncut, uncombed strands known as dreadlocks, as well as eating unprocessed (natural) foodstuffs which are known as Ital. However, neither tradition is regarded as compulsory – many people who wear dreadlocks are not Rastas and many Rastas do not wear them.
One of the most controversial cultural traditions is Rastas' use of ganja as a sacrament which is smoked to aid in reasoning (contemplation and discussion). Cannabis is a strictly prohibited substance in Jamaica so its use by Rastas means the movement is in a more-or-less permanent state of tension with police agencies. And not only Rastas smoke.
In Jamaica the herbs are used for illnesses instead of going to the doctor all the time. We boil bushes and different kinds of herbs for all pain, acne, and internal issues.
