Kingston as the city built by survivors: after Port Royal sank into the harbour, refugees resettled on a pig farm and built a capital that gave up naming its neighbourhoods, numbering them instead — most sitting in another parish entirely. Two voices trade the facts at speed: dead kings, vanished trees, two racetracks, and one clock still ticking.

L54 The Local Anthems Reggae

Kingston 1 To 20

Style

Fast Jamaican roots-reggae steppers at 146 BPM, driven by nyabinghi hand drums, deep dub bass, offbeat guitar chops, and punchy horn stabs, with male and female leads trading verses in warm, sincere Jamaican Patois.
