Originally in Jamaica we know that the best parties are held in the ghetto, or downtown or the inner cities or whatever one wishes to call it. Traditionally, if one wanted to experience how true Jamaicans party, the best parties or dance as it is commonly referred to downtown, to attend were Dutty Fridaze, held in Fletchers Land, Passa Passa held in the middle of Spanish Town Road on Wednesdays or Ray Town and so on.
Action at Dutty Fridaze
These dances were the epitome of the Dancehall culture and how Jamaicans party. Also, surprisingly, even people who are uptown would venture out to these parties to get the original Jamaican party culture. However it is steadily becoming a thing of the past as, Ray Town has become obsolete, Passa Passa, had to be discontinued for reasons, which I will not discuss in this blog, as this is not the blog for that. Also Dutty Fridaze has been a victim of police a tek set and has also been discontinued due to the police.
Not entirely true, yes downtown maybe coming uptown now but its been a long while now uptown party a swing long before Rennaissance too. I used to live in Norbrook and trust me di party dem all bout like Grossvoner Terrace, Smoky Vale, Meadowbrook, up a Redhills dem always hard and then some.
