Rasta Man

 Jamaica Special Promotion

About the Rasta Man promotion

Jamaica has always had a unique connection with everything Rasta. In fact, the Rastafarian way of life has its roots in the teachings of the Jamaican black-nationalist Marcus Garvey, who in the 1930s preached a message of black self empowerment, and initiated the "Back to Africa" movement.

Today, the Rasta culture permeates all facets of Jamaican life. The Rastafarian religion is often associated with the poorer black population of Jamaica. Rastafarians often speak out against poverty, oppression and inequality, and use the Bible for guidance, although it is interpreted through black eyes. One example of this is the Rastafarian name for God - Jah - which crops up throughout the songs Bob Marley - the undisputed heavyweight of Reggae music.

Rastafarians have always been associated with ganja or marijuana, which is used not only for spiritual purposes as in their Nyabingi celebration, but also for medicinal purposes for colds and such. One final characteristic of Rastafarians is dreadlocks, which symbolize Rasta roots, contrasting the straight, blond look of the white man and establishment.
