THE MUSIC WE
PLAY

Every song features at least one past student of the Alpha music programme in Kingston, Jamaica. Founded in 1880, Alpha has helped launch the careers of jazz innovators, ska pioneers and reggae icons. Operated by the Sisters of Mercy of Jamaica, a Catholic order of nuns since 1890, Alpha continues to develop the next generation of music talent.
