Jamaica's strength lies in their people. The ability to make something out of nothing is not unusual but the norm. It was migrant workers working in the cane fields of Florida that first heard the sounds of Black American Blues and Jazz. When they came back to the island, they replicated and rearranged the music to create the sound of ska. That musical genre evolved into today's reggae music. Recreating popular tunes are an example of the many areas that Jamaicans were introduced to and then simulated with the uniqueness of the cultures flexibility. Having the ability to adjust and evolve has help Jamaicans remain competitive viable instead of being a marginalized group.
