#jimmycliff #legend #icon

Jimmy Cliff gave Jamaica to the world. And through every rhythm, every lyric, every river crossed, he gave us courage to dream, to rise, and to believe.

Walk good, Legend. Your light will never dim.

In 2023, the NDTC Singers proudly honoured him again with a musical suite arranged by Dr. Kathy Brown, a testament to the enduring brilliance of a man whose melodies and messages will forever guide us.

From Rex Nettleford’s iconic 'Tribute to Cliff' (1974), to 'Children of Mosiah' (1988), 'Cave’s End' (2002), and Eduardo Rivero-Walker’s 'Tribute' (1995), his songs have carried our stories, ignited our movement, and deepened our exploration of Jamaican identity.

For over five decades, Cliff’s music has been a wellspring of inspiration for our choreographers, dancers, and singers.
