There are as many Jamaica 50 songs as days in the year, says Culture Minister

In an interview with chatychaty.com at the launch of Reggae Sumfest recently, Minister of Youth and Culture, Lisa Hanna, told us that everyday her office gets a new Jamaica 50 song.

“There are more songs than days in the year,” a smiling and relaxed CUlture Minister noted.

Asked about the Shaggy-produced song, On A Mission, she reiterated that it was not the official Jamaica 50 song.

According to the minister, a way would have to be found to choose a song to celebrate Jamaica’s Jubilee, and the idea was to “involve everybody” in the decision-making process,

The minister, looking elegant in a white maxi, with Jamaica colours peeping out at the collar, said the songs would be put up on the Jamaica 50 website, or the JIS website.
