Jamaica
The essay
What's magical about this country?
Jamaica hums. It hums under your feet in the drum of a distant sound system, it hums in the clatter of a market on a Saturday morning, it hums in the laughter of aunties who barely know you but already love you. I spent three weeks between Kingston and Treasure Beach with a film camera and no plan, and every frame came back sounding like a bassline.
