The sounds of Jamaica resonated through the halls of New Jersey Performing Arts Center last Friday in an exclusive celebration of the 50th anniversary of Jamaican Independence.

The show starred one of the longest reigning reggae superstar groups of all time, Third World, and Grammy-nominated British superstar Maxi Priest headlined.

Patch photographers Kim J. Ford and Majied were in the house to catch the vibrant show. Click through the photos above to see more.
