DANIELLE SMITH'S BLOG OF

ALL THINGS JAMAICAN

A SMALL ISLAND FULL OF BIG HEROES

14 OCTOBER

I live on the small Caribbean island of Jamaica. Like many of the 3 million people here, sport and music are very important to me. Perhaps that's why so many sports and music heroes come from our island.

We start playing sports seriously at a very young age. Even at primary school we follow an athletics programme. At secondary school, there's the school athletics championship, or 'Champs'. Every year, about 25,000 people watch some of the heroes of tomorrow. Usain Bolt, the Olympic Gold Medallist, is from Jamaica and he once entered this championship.

As for music, in the 1960s, my own hero Bob Marley introduced reggae to the world. He didn't only sing about happiness, love and sadness. He also sang about how people live and their problems. Today, even our youngest musicians write about our life here on the island. When you next listen to a song from Jamaica, don't forget it's probably about us, our life and our culture!

FACT! The Jamaican bobsleigh team became heroes when they entered the Winter Olympics in 1988. Strange! Jamaica is famous for its sun but not for its snow!
