“These Are Violent Streets”.. The Real Trenchtown Jamaica 🇯🇲

Video Description

Welcome to Trenchtown Jamaica. A garrison community in West Kingston that packs a huge punch. The birthplace of Reggae: the home of Bob Marley, The Wailers, Peter Tosh and many more. Famous worldwide, the cultural impact of this community is huge. This is, however, still an economically struggling place that suffers with frequent gang crime. Unfortunately many young residents are captured by a life of crime at a young age. One route to escape the clutches of gang lifestyle is through success as a music artist. I spent time with some of Trenchtown's most promising and inspiring up-and-coming artists to talk about their aspirations and achievements. There is a strong community spirit and a lot of love, hope and camaraderie in this small place. I further took a walk around some of the most dangerous gang-controlled streets of Trenchtown to see what daily life is like there. Although tourists from around the world do visit as a pilgrimage to the musical history of the area, few seldom walk the streets I do in this video. Below are links to all the artists and creators featured in this video. If you do visit Trenchtown, please consider supporting the upcoming musicians who are the future of the community.
