Overview

This 3-hour bus tour immerses guests in Jamaican music history, visiting Orange Street (“Beat Street”), the birthplace of Dennis Brown and home to Studio One Records. The tour showcases historic studios of producers like Clement 'Coxsone' Dodd, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, and Cecil 'Prince Buster' Campbell, with murals celebrating Reggae, Ska, and Rocksteady that embellish the walls of Beat Street.

Additionally, the tour features Rockers International, the last recording studio on “Beat Street,“. Lovers of reggae will also be in for an experience as we trod through Trench Town Culture Yard, where Bob Marley lived in his adolescent years and wrote one of his popular songs “No Woman No Cry.” Visitors can enjoy classic vinyl, explore a museum curated by Christopher Whyms-Stone, and see artefacts from Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer. The Yard preserves reggae history and supports new Jamaican artists.
