Recognizing the tremendous appeal that the island nation holds for music lovers in North America, the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) has partnered with Tuff Gong Worldwide to sponsor Ziggy Marley’s 2016 North American Tour. The tour, which opened May 27 in Coachella, California, will continue through mid-October.

“As the birthplace of the iconic reggae music, Jamaica is one of the world’s most popular music destinations, and the island’s music ambassadors possess unrivaled talents,” noted Donnie Dawson, Deputy Director of Tourism, Sales for the Jamaica Tourist Board. “Ziggy Marley’s music continues to play a significant role in spreading our culture through music. We are excited to work with Ziggy once again and look forward to another successful partnership.”
