Trojan Records has announced a new compilation album 'Rise Jamaica: Jamaican Independence Special' to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jamaica's independence. The album, released on double CD, double vinyl and digital, will be released on August 5, 2022 and will celebrate the extremely influential sounds of the island nation. Marking the 60th anniversary of Jamaica's independence in August 2022, this collection features a range of major hits and previously unreleased tracks, all recorded in 1962, the year the island became a sovereign nation. The first of the two discs focuses on the biggest hits of the year, with Ska and R\u0026B hits from essential artists such as Jimmy Cliff, Derrick Morgan, Owen Gray, Lord Creator and Don Drummond, while the second disc includes early 60s Jamaican ska and unreleased recordings, produced by Duke Reid, the country's leading sound system operator, who became a record producer and founder of the Treasure Isle record label. Jamaica gained its independence from the United Kingdom on August 6, 1962 and since that historic day 60 years ago, the island has had a profound influence around the world. This is particularly true of the island's music industry. In 1964, ska took the world by storm with its successor, regular rock, initially dominating the local music scene, although it was the development of the irresistible sound of reggae in 1968 that ultimately led to what became a long-standing love for Jamaican music around the globe. Today, Jamaica is a proud and independent nation that continues to inspire and influence many people around the world. This album pays tribute to the artistry, ingenuity and genius of its people.","brand":"Multi-artistes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55314218647896,"sku":null,"price":23908180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4050538768671.jpg?v=1768849937","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/multi-artistes_rise-jamaica-jamaican-independence-special_2024_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
