Mother’s Day Playlist

Mothers hold a special place in the Jamaican society for the role they play in shaping the lives of their children, sometimes without the help or support of fathers. For this, they are often immortalised in Reggae, especially by sons expressing profound gratitude for their sacrifices and pledging to return the favour by ensuring she spends the rest of her life living like a queen.

This Mother’s Day, we share a special playlist highlighting some of these songs, with iTunes links to purchase.
