#JA60

This exciting cultural potpourri has been one of the most anticipated events on the Independence
festival roster since its inception in 1964. It was the brainchild of the late Hugh Nash, thendirector of the newly created Festival Unit in the Ministry of Development and Welfare. It was
initially a celebration of pop and mento, the two music and dance forms dominating the island at
that time.
Over the years, it has remained a highlight of the season, showcasing the best of the performing
arts that the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) has to offer, with performances
from various schools and groups in dance, song, drama and poetry. These groups bring to life
the traditional art forms that not only celebrate but preserve our rich culture and history
