    Thanks Irina, I learned a lot as usual.
    Despite the depth & breadth of your videos, everything is paced in a way that makes for effortless watching. I started learning about the market but ended up appreciating Olive Lewin whose name I'd heard but whose work I was less familiar with. The peek into Hyacinth McDonald's vision & struggles to realize the idea was also welcome.

    This is a masterpiece. I'm emotional as I watched the video. Jamaicans are very talented, bright, and creative. With the abundance of talents and gifted people in the country, there is no way we should be this poor as a country. We have to dispose of the corrupt politicians and build our country by ourselves. Thanks, Irine, for giving us this marvelous video.

    This is such an inspirational watch. One of my biggest fears as a non-artistic person is who is carrying on the Jamaican art and culture outside of the mainstream reggae music genre. Seeing Ms. Mcdonald’s drive and commitment to source a wide variety of Jamaican artists, culture, cuisine, and vibes is enlightening and uplifting.

I hope this grows and grows in popularity. They deserve it. It is definitely a diamond in the rough. I'll visit next time I am in Jamaica.

    This is absolutely wonderful. I'm very moved by this presentation. Living so far from home and so passionate about my culture this is very very refreshing for me and will make this a must see when I go home even as I'm definitely going to boast about this to others. I remember Miss Olive Lewin. I saw and experience first hand as a student in both primary and high school, some of the tremendous work she did with music and culture. Thank you, Irena.

    Jamaica needs to honor people like Ms. Lewin, who made culturally significant changes to the society. I've never heard of her, but she should be in Jamaica's history books for her cultural contributions. Her home should also be preserved for antiquity.

    • @JAMAICAWITHIRIE
      @JAMAICAWITHIRIE  21 день тому +4

      Dr.Olive Lewin is actually honoured by Jamaica, she had the Order of Distinction. She also holds, among other honours, the Jamaica Music Industry Honour Award, an Award for Long and Meritorious Service to the Mico Teachers College, the Award for Excellence of the Munro and Dickenson Trust, and a Gold Musgrave Medal of the Institute of Jamaica.
      She passed away in 2013, so I don't think there was enough time to include her into our history books, but the main reason you might have not heard of her is because of the issues with the Jamaican media, who are more focused on crime stories and people involved in crime, rather than on people like Dr.Lewin.

    • @KattahB
      @KattahB 16 днів тому

      ​@@JAMAICAWITHIRIEGreat response. The issue with Jamaica(n) is the mindset of some of its citizens
      (Too many) This mindset is what the media feeds?
      Ms Bruce... I would love a video on how or where Jamaicans develop 'this" mindset! (The negativity is what I'm referring to). I'm so tired of it. I would love to see and help it eradicated!

    • @eileenwatt8283
      @eileenwatt8283 8 днів тому

      Obviously you are not Jamaican or educated there or didn't listen in your history class.
      Stop speaking about something you know nothing about as if Jamaica government don't recognized Dr Lewin which they have done.

    • @eileenwatt8283
      @eileenwatt8283 8 днів тому

      ​@@KattahB People who are educated in Jamaica knows about Dr Olive Lewin but the young people rather retain slackness from dancehall culture than folk music which I grew up on. I remembered going to see Dr Lewin perform.

    Irina this is another excellent video from you. I do like the professional way you do your videos. I hope next year when I visit Kingston I will get to see this night market. This is a very interesting video. Olive Lewin and the Jamaica Folk singers could possibly be a separate dedicated video as your little dabble in her history was interesting too. Many of those Jamaican artisans products seemed to be a better quality than many of what is sold to tourists on the North Coast. I will do my little part and send this video around so it they can get more exposure.

Loved the questions you asked and what you chose to include in this video. Also, when the night market founder said not many tourists came out initially, I've been coming to Jamaica for years (and have family and friends there) and many people never knew about this. Hopefully the marketing and partnerships continue so that people know it exists and knows to visit when there. This is definitely helpful.

I hope more sponsors come on board and that the nigh market is promoted even more. Thanks for making this video.
