“At the heart of Jamaican music, ‘sounds’ continue to the present day, as may be attested to by anyone who has attempted to get a night’s sleep in Kingston on a Friday, the favourite party night. Whenever Jamaican communities have moved, sound systems have accompanied them - London’s annual Notting Hill carnival features tons of boxes, tons of house of joy, as they are known in Jamaica.”
