Jamaica Reggae

Los Pericos' song 'Jamaica Reggae' is a musical tribute to the laid-back lifestyle and cultural practices associated with Jamaica, particularly the use of ganja (marijuana) and the love for reggae music. The lyrics express a deep sense of relaxation and contentment that the singer feels when engaging with ganja, suggesting a personal and almost spiritual connection with the substance. The repetition of the phrase 'I'm in love, in love with you' could be interpreted as the singer's affection for ganja, reggae music, or even Jamaica as a whole.

The song also touches on the theme of escapism, as the singer talks about walking alone and not feeling any pain, which could be a metaphor for the relief that ganja provides from life's troubles. The mention of 'Mamma Africa' is a nod to the Rastafarian belief in Africa as the promised land and the origin of humanity, which is a common theme in reggae music. The song's refrain, 'Welcome to Jamaica reggae,' serves as an invitation to experience the Jamaican way of life, characterized by its iconic music and the use of ganja.

Lastly, the song seems to make a statement against the criminalization of marijuana with the line 'ganja, ganja it's not pollution.' This suggests that the artist sees ganja as a natural and positive element, not something harmful that should be treated as a societal ill. The final lines, 'Only cure / For your money,' could be interpreted as a critique of the commercialization of marijuana, implying that its true value lies in its healing properties rather than its monetary worth.
