Christmas in Jamaica is the time to celebrate Jonkonnu - an authentic tradition from 1700s. However, hardly any tourists heard of Jonkonnu in Jamaica and even locals began to wonder where it disappeared. Well, Jonkonnu also known as Junkanoo or John Canoe, the authentic Jamaican Christmas Tradition is very much alive! With this video I’d like to share its story with you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
