Part 1/ The idea of Carnival in Jamaica was birthed at UWI Mona in the 50s, where a blend of islanders being homesick wanted to replicate the carnival celebrations of back home, which eventually evolved into ‘RING ROAD’. I remember attending UWI Ring Road as a very young child with my Mother in the late 80s - there were hundreds upon hundreds of revelers feting to FAB 5 (a Jamaican Band) playing music on a truck while it maneuvered around ring road. Fab 5 was a Jamaican band that created some amazing hits in 80s & early 90s, with perhaps their biggest hit ‘all night party’ & ‘Ring Road Jam’. This music was completely Jamaican and appreciated as our carnival sound at that season/time. Simultaneously, during this era, Jamaican Icon, Byron Lee was dominating the airwaves with his band Byron Lee & the Dragonaires with hits such as Tiny Winey, Nani Wine, etc etc. During the late 80s into early 90s there were also other niche groups providing soca experiences in Jamaica. Some of these groups visited Trinidad carnival annually and brought back their experience and packaged an exclusive Carnival Experience to their network of friends - eg. orange carnival Frenchmen etc.

Dear black people, stop putting sunscreen pan unuh skin

WHAT IS WRONG WITH BAD SEKKI??????

Part 3/ For reasons beyond my knowledge and based on my research over the years, in the late 90s or early 2000s, splinter groups exited Jamaica Carnival and established alliances to form Bacchanal Jamaica. Overnight Bacchanal became a successful powerhouse and appealed heavily to mid/uptown demographics. Simultaneously the Byron Lee lead ‘Jamaica Carnival’ brand started to dwindle in popularity and appeal. For almost two decades Bacchanal held the fort as Jamaica’ only Carnival Brand and Source of Road March Experiences. The carnival in Jamaica experience during the mid 2000s to a few years back (2017) evolved into mainly being a replica of Trinidad Carnival. Trini music took priority, trini costume styles were adopted etc etc. For almost two decades (2000 - 2017), there has been a couple generations attending Soca Fetes in Jamaica having an amazing time but exposed mainly to Trinidadian Soca Music. This indoctrination would perhaps lead to one believing that soca in Jamaica should be from another island and prob predominantly Trinidad music. This repetition has lead to many Jamaicans now a days believing that Carnival in Jamaica isn’t about our 🇯🇲 People, or our 🇯🇲 Culture, or our 🇯🇲Music and more about celebrating other islands’ soca music.

The never ending Carnival in Jamaica Musical Debate 🔊🇯🇲 Every year there is this massive debate about what Trucks & DJs must play during our Carnival in Jamaica ROAD MARCH parade. Should it be Soca only or Soca & Dancehall? I would like to give My perspective and insight into What Carnival in Jamaica started as, what it went through, and perhaps what it should be! Thread 👇🏼

Even kings have quiet battles. Just days after commanding the road and several stages at Jamaica Carnival, Machel Montano, the undisputed king of soca, stepped into a different kind of spotlight; one that demanded vulnerability. Outlining the moments that rarely ever made headlines, the première of Like Ah Boss: Journey of a Soca King delved into experiences that feel almost too intimate to witness: Admissions of depression, brushes with suicidal thoughts, the quiet devastation of financial collapse... jamaicaobserver.com/2026/04/16/lik…
