Many people call Jamaica a paradise on earth, the diamond in the sea and heaven in the Caribbean. There is a magic in Jamaica but listening to the great reggae tunes isn’t enough until you visit this great country in the Caribbean which has attracted millions of tourists worldwide.

The mere mention of Jamaica brings in mind great reggae artists such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Joseph Hill (Culture), Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Decker and other artists but there is more in Jamaica which makes it unique than the sweet coconut-water reggae.

Jamaica is part of the Greater Antilles and is the third largest island located south of Cuba and west of Haiti. The island boasts of beautiful exotic nature, vibrant distinctive magnificent mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, and miles of first-class beaches.

The natural beauty of Jamaica attracts travellers from all over the world. The most visited places of the island include the Blue Mountains, where one of the most popular and top quality coffee in the world comes from, and Dunn's River Waterfalls.

In the northwest of the island, there is a huge resort area of Montego Bay, where half of the best hotels in Jamaica are located, including Half Moon Resort, where Queen Elizabeth II stayed, and Round Hill Hotel and Villas.

It is understandable why the island boasts of beautiful exotic natural beaches, places untouched by humans, good infrastructure and beautiful locations, such as Font Hill Nature Reserve, Cockpit Country, a limestone platform with many caves and valleys.

Montego Bay is famous for its magnificent beaches, old mansions, and plantations, as well as many attractions of both historic and entertaining. Tourists enjoy their visit by rafting along the rivers Marta Brae, Black River, take a tour of the Blue Mountains or play golf on the best fields of the island.

Negril is one of the most environmentally friendly resort areas in the world. It is located in the west of the island, revealing its natural beauty of the seven-mile sandy beach of Kaliko Jack, Bladi Bay, 18 reefs and islands in Bubi Bay, Yas waterfall, Joseph caves, Anansi Park and picturesque fishing villages.

It's intriguing to know that Jamaicans also call inconsistent or untrue stories 'Ananse stories.'

The resort of Ocho Rios in the north of the island is famous for its chic tropical vegetation, as well as the 180-meter-high Dunn River Falls, fruit and coffee plantations and the viewing platform of Murphy Hill with a height of 670 meters.

The famous Blue Lagoon, where the filming of the same name (The Blue Lagoon) took place can be visited in the north-east of the island, in Port Antonio and in the south-east of the country. It worth visiting the Spanish town, the former capital and one of the main attractions of the island.

Diving in Jamaica gives the chance to see the diverse and mysterious underwater world. The waters of Negril have great visibility with a rich variety of fish, turtles, eels, and dolphins. At a depth of 19 m reveals the so-called Throne Room, a cave filled with yellow sponges.

On the territory of Jamaica, there are 10 excellent golf courses, because Jamaicans love this sport very much. In Kingston, the capital, you can also enjoy the sight of historic beautiful buildings, paintings, and products inspired by Rastafarians.

Amazingly, today, Jamaica is no more known as the reggae kingdom, but also athletics country, thanks to good athletes, such as Melene Ottey, Asafa Powell Usain Bolt etc.

Joel: I have to call you Sir Joseph Hill. Let’s rally round Jehovah’s throne. I have some few questions to ask you today.

Joseph: You are welcome. (Then he smiled)
Joel: It was in the seventies, I heard of Culture. Can you please tell what has inspired you to be in this hard music industry for all these years?

Joseph: It’s Jah (referring to God) that gives me the strength. Always feel that there is something in watch out. For myself, I love to play for the people. They are also part of my inspiration. These are what have inspired me throughout these years.

Joel: You have been singing all your life about corruption, oppression, war, poverty, discrimination, crime and so on. Were you a victim to such things in any circumstances?

Joseph: There are people I saw in comparison to various countries. Yes!yes!! yes!!! I have seen people die and not a word of justice is been said. Think of a person’s life. It is priceless. The last grief I had. There was this woman in Afghanistan, separated from the land. They treated her so bad that she and her child were eating grass.”G R A S S- grass”.(Joseph moved with sorrow spelled the word grass)
