Jamaican culture

Jamaican culture encompasses the distinctive traditions, arts, and social practices of Jamaica and its diaspora.

Reggae music, Rastafari spirituality, and patois speech are defining elements.

The culture blends African, British colonial, and Caribbean influences into something unmistakably its own—from jerk seasoning to dancehall to the national passion for cricket and dominoes.

The sound system culture that emerged from Kingston transformed global music.
