Backyard Labrish continues its mission to Celebrate, Enlighten & Preserve the rich culture of Jamaica. The Island is comprised of 14 Parishes, each rich with its own history, interesting customs, and memorable people.

For the next 14 weeks or more, Backyard Labrish will be dishing out some little known, yet interesting facts about all 14 Parishes.
