Nice to Meet You
Welcome to JamaicaBob.com! You have landed on the online home for JamaicaBob and his group Jazz Caribe.
JamaicaBob Griffiths was born in Savannah-la-Mar, Jamaica. Both of his parents were of Jamaican ancestry as well. His mom was born and raised in Kingston, the island’s capital. His dad was born in Cuba but both of his parents were Jamaicans as well.
How I Help
- I help school leaders develop better student self-esteem through music and cultural appreciation (shows: Calypso for Kids, Jamaica – My Island in the Sun).
- I help arts presenters transport their audiences with my family-friendly yet spicy blend of calypso, reggae, jazz and Latin grooves (shows: Come With Me to the Islands, A Caribbean Christmas, My Caribe Amor).
- I help corporate event planners with my unique, high-energy, family-friendly ‘Belafonte mixed with Benson’ style of Caribbean music (Jazz Caribe).
