Robert Nesta Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer and songwriter. Considered one of the pioneers of reggae, his musical career was marked by blending elements of reggae, ska, and rocksteady, as well as forging a smooth and distinctive vocal and songwriting style.[1][2] Marley's contributions to music increased the visibility of Jamaican music worldwide, and made him a global figure in popular culture for over a decade.[3][4]
Born in Nine Mile, British Jamaica, Marley began his professional musical career in 1963, after forming Bob Marley and the Wailers. The group released its debut studio album The Wailing Wailers in 1965, which contained the single "One Love/People Get Ready"; the song was immensely popular, peaking in the top five on worldwide music charts, and established the group as a rising figure in reggae.[5] The Wailers subsequently released eleven further studio albums; while initially employing louder instrumentation and singing, the group began engaging in rhythmic-based song construction in the late 1960s and early 1970s, which coincided with the singer's conversion to Rastafarianism. During this period Marley relocated to London, and the group typified their musical shift with the release of the album The Best of The Wailers (1971).[6] The group attained international success after the release of the albums Catch a Fire and Burnin' (both 1973), and forged a reputation as touring artists. A year later the Wailers disbanded, and Marley went on to release his solo material under the band's name.[7] His debut studio album Natty Dread (1974) received positive reception, as did its follow-up Rastaman Vibration (1976). A few months after the album's release Marley survived an assassination attempt at his home in Jamaica, which prompted him to permanently relocate to London soon afterward. There he recorded the album Exodus (1977); it incorporated elements of blues, soul, and British rock, enjoyed widespread commercial success, and is widely considered one of the best albums of all time. Over the course of his career Marley became known as a Rastafari icon, and the singer sought to infuse his music with a sense of spirituality.[8] He is also considered a global symbol of Jamaican culture and identity, and was controversial in his outspoken support for the legalization of marijuana, while he also advocated for Pan-Africanism.[9] In 1977, Marley was diagnosed with acral lentiginous melanoma; he died as a result of the illness in 1981. His fans around the world expressed their grief, and he received a state funeral in Jamaica. The greatest hits album Legend was released in 1984, and subsequently became the best-selling reggae album of all-time.[10] Marley also ranks as one of the best-selling music artists of all-time, with estimated sales of more than 75 million records worldwide,[11] while his sound and style have influenced artists of various genres. He was posthumously honored by Jamaica soon after his death, as he was designated the nation's Order of Merit award.

No matter what the season, tea can be a tasty beverage since it can be served iced or hot. But its benefits go far beyond refreshment. There is plenty of research showing that drinking tea can actually improve your health. At the very least, it’s a flavorful way of getting enough fluid into your body each day. On top of that, studies have shown teas can help protect your teeth and your heart, as well as possibly even helping to stave off cancer. Which type of tea you drink can make a difference. All non-herbal teas are made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The amount of time the leaves are processed determines whether you end up with a green, black or oolong tea. The green teas are the least processed and tend to have the highest amounts of polyphenols, and the only type that contain the polyphenol, catechin, which is why many studies have been done using only green teas. Certain herbal teas are known for their medicinal values, including soothing the digestive system. Ginger Tea Benefits: 8 health benefits of ginger tea
 While there are many products around the world that are similar to the Jamaican snacks, there is a sense of difference which what makes them unique. Jamaican snacks are sweet, salty, sour, bitter, crunchy, soft and many other flavor and texture profile. For a salty crunch, Jamaicans enjoy the taste of banana chips, cassava chips as well as plantain chips and in recent times Breadfruit chips. Jamaican snacks that appeal to the sweet tooth includes Catch, biscuits (Butterkist), Bun (not just at Easter but enjoyed all year round), Tiki, Bobbi, Coco Crisp, Nuggets among others. Jamaican snacks are savory and sour and can be found in many forms such as tamarind and dried peppered shrimp. In giving a piece of Jamaica to those who love Jamaica and those who miss Jamaica, we provide Jamaican Care Packages filled with your favorite Jamaican snacks. Check out our snack category!!! #Jamaicansnacks #Jamaicancarepackages Ackee and Saltfish is a traditional Jamaican, as well as the National dish of Jamaica that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A background on ackee: Ackee is actually a fruit. This fruits was imported in 1725 from Ghana. Ackee or Aki is another name for the Akan tribe, Akyem. It is also known as Blighia sapida. The scientific name honours Captain William Bligh who took the fruit from Jamaica to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, England in 1793 and introduced it to science.[1] Because parts of the fruit are toxic, there are shipping restrictions when being imported to countries such as the United States.[2] To prepare the dish, salt cod is sautéed with boiled ackee, onions, Scotch Bonnet peppers, tomatoes, and spices, such as black pepper and pimiento. It can be garnished with bacon and tomatoes, and is usually served as breakfast or dinner alongside breadfruit, hard dough bread, dumplings, fried plantain, or boiled green bananas. Ackee and saltfish can also be eaten with rice and peas or plain white rice. When seasonings (onion, escallion, thyme, garlic) and saltfish are combined with plain rice it is often called seasoned rice which can be a one pot meal including ackee. Brown stew chicken, also referred to as stew chicken, is a dish typically eaten for dinner throughout the English speaking Caribbean islands. The dish is popular in Jamaica, Antigua, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Belize, Dominica and in Caribbean communities throughout the world. The dish is called brown because of the distinct dark colour of the dish. The colour is achieved by browning the chicken in brown sugar, which creates a rich gravy to which main vegetable components like onions, garlic and carrots are added.
I know we are late in officially wishing you a Happy New Year. We hope 2019 has been great so far. We are thankful for your support and we have been receiving many private emails about changes that would be favorable. It is much easier to do in bullet points so the three areas of concern were:
Thank you for your business!!! Happy 2019  Christmas time in Jamaica starts with the changing of sheets and curtains, painting of houses, decorating and setting up of Christmas tree but most importantly SOAKING THE FRUITS FOR THE CHRISTMAS CAKE. Once the fruits have been soaked, then the sorrel preparation is next in line for picking and bottling followed by the preparation of the Ram Goat and pig. While living away from home, busy schedules and different structures may prevent many from upholding the traditions as they would be practiced in Jamaica. Mojamaican has partnered with Golden Krust to distribute Jamaican Christmas cake as it would have been made in Jamaica to ensure that the spirit of a Jamaican Christmas is preserved. In addition, Grace Foods, makes a great sorrel drink that calls for the clearing of throat after the first drink, as the ginger in potent and only lacking that rum which can be added for persons at the legal drinking age. Besides the two Christmas favorites Mopackages make the perfect Christmas gift for a Jamaican living away from home.
Thank me later for this great gift idea. Happy Holidays In the year 2012 I made the conscious decision to migrate from Jamaica. While it was a hard decision to make I knew that it was what was needed to be done, given the limited opportunities for growth that I had access to.
Upon arrival to the United States of America, one of the biggest struggles I had to deal with was adapting the American cuisine. This made it difficult for me when I started dating my husband as I was always leaving the restaurant without having consumed most of the meal. Life in Jamaica meant 3 cooked meals, nicely seasoned and a flavor profile unique to the soils of Jamaica. Hence, whenever I get homesick, my first statement to David is usually "I need to go home", home being Jamaica. Even though he gets more excited than I do to visit home and get grandma's cooking, I know many persons living away from home, do not have the flexibility to go home as often as they would like to for numerous reasons. MoJamaican, through providing snacks, seasonings and spices, thrives to help ease that homesickness that many feel when they are feeling for that touch of Jamaica on their palates. It is hoped that even though there is no place like home, that you, our customers are able to create your favorite meals and enjoy it in your new place of residence until you have the opportunity to go home and have the family chef, who is almost always your grandma, prepare your favorite meal. A part of MoJamaican that is dedicated to meal recreation is Meal Preparation. With each purchase is a recipe that is mailed to you, but most importantly, it has all the seasonings you will need to recreate the meal. The products are authentic to Jamaica and by trusted brands in Jamaica such as Grace Kennedy, Lasco, Easispice among others. The recipe is especially for those who have never made the meal for themselves and are wanting to recreate the Jamaican delicacy. Check out our Meal Preparation section and get cooking!!!
