Tuff Gong Recording Studio
Jamaica is about music and beaches and feeling the rhythm, and
what better way to learn about Jamaica than to visit a local
recording studio and record shop. The Tuff Gong Studio is the
biggest and arguably the best studio in Jamaica. Artists such as
Ziggy and Damian Marley have recorded there, as well as Roberta
Flack. Visitors can organise tours of the studio or visit the
record shop attached for a look at the great selection music on
sale.
Information & Facts
Address
Marcus Garvey Drive, Kingston
Language
The official language of Jamaica is English but a local
patois is also spoken, a mixture of English, Spanish, and various
African languages.
Money
The Jamaican Dollar (JMD) is divided into 100 cents. The island
is well supplied with ATMs, banks and bureaux de change. Banking
hours are usually Monday to Thursday from 9am to 2pm, and Friday
from 9am to 4pm. Cambio exchange offices are found throughout the
country, open later than banks and often offering better exchange
rates. Retain receipts as proof of legal currency exchange.
Exchange bureaux at the airports and hotels also offer better rates
than banks. Major credit cards and travellers cheques are widely
accepted. Both cash and travellers cheques are best taken in US
Dollars.
