There is such a rich culture of music there! Why not bring some home! A great place to go is PALANZINA Records and Clothing, located in the Vendor's Mall. It's the yellow and green structure, 2 story, a short walk towards the cliffs from the Hi-Lo Mall.
Wayne is amazing! He knows the island music and can set you up just fine with some great CD's to take home. They won't put you over your airline weight limit, and make great gifts, if you care to part with any! He knows the island music and has great CD's and some pretty awesome old vinyl in great condition - he had an old Yellowman that if I had a turntable I would have bought in a heartbeat. He is also great a mixing your sound - that is, if you like this internationally well-known artist, you will probably like this artist too, who is not so well known off the island, but has much the same style as the one you want. With his excellent prices, you will likely walk out with both! Not sure you'll like it? He will gladly play you some of that artist or CD while you're there. Go early in your trip as if he doesn't have what you want in stock, he can usually get it in within a few days!
Give Wayne a visit! Great guy. Awesome CD's and music and seriously reasonable prices!
He is also the only person in all my trips to Jamaica who saw me on the street and said "Hey! I know you" and it was true! He further explained that he had sold me a Richie Spice T-Shirt at the Yellowman Concert a few nights earlier because I was cold! He was right! Oh, yeah - he is often selling CD's and such at concerts. If it's Wayne, trust him! He's a good man!
And, please, say Hi to him from Maggie and Gary ... and tell him we'll for sure be in to see him late-June, early-July for more CD's to bring home and KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING!
Nice Boardie Bash souvenir ... music to go with the rum you bring home. What a combo!
