After being a tribe populated island it fell into Spanish control at the time of the Columbus. Later on it became one of the British colonies; this lasted until 1962 when it gained its independence.<\/p>\n

There were more than a few benefits to gaining its independence. It brought Jamaica the stability and economic growth it desperately needed. This ensured the country would develop more and at a faster rate than before.<\/p>\n

From ska, rock steady and reggae to dub, deejay and dancehall, Jamaican music remained popular and well listened to all across the World.
