From the ground up Jamarado is born from a deeply rooted appreciation for Reggae, its people, culture, history and vision. Reggae's roots are strong and it continues to flourish. We are always evolving Jamarado to showcase the music's diversity and depth. We’re an independent, grounded movement. Live it, feel it, love it! We’re all about the feel-good factor and the positive vibrations. Reggae culture is strong, diverse and real, it sees the wholeness of life and isn’t afraid to seek change. Jamarado celebrates the joy in life and the power to bring change. Join the Reggae revolution! We want to bring the music and life together in one hub, for everyone to enjoy. We have a two fold approach to this. Firstly, Jamarado offers instant access to a diverse selection of reggae and dancehall music plus features, recommendations and what's on. Secondly, it provides a platform that artists, creatives and businesses can use to elevate themselves and develop their reach through our growing community. The word Jamarado is a fusion word from Jamaica (origin), Comarade (friendship) and Dorado (gold) | Fierce unity. Reggae pride Bringing people together with a shared passion for reggae - all ages, backgrounds and walks of life. People who make the music and people who love it. We’re a welcoming, connecting community, offering a sense of belonging. Our purpose is to join, link and meet. The Reggae reverb We’re a music and lifestyle App, curating our content to bring you only the very best in Reggae and Dancehall culture. We want you to explore the music in its diversity - everything gravitating around it from people, food & drinks, fashion, travel, history, culture, design and art. Walk on the reggae side of life. The Jamarado movement Born in London where the world meets, we’re a platform without borders. Our mission is to create a global following, with high impact and international reach. We want to show the full scope of reggae by creating a united platform where the music, life and culture are one. Reggae rules the world... |
"Reggae music isn't something you hear, it's something you feel." Peter Tosh Jamarado was founded in London by long-time Reggae DJ, fashion
designer and style-life selector, Karen Proctor. Karen’s
quest was to create the ultimate easy-to-use, super-stylish reggae and
dancehall App for anyone drawn to exploring the music and lifestyle from those
with a fledgling interest to those who live the music.
The world of reggae in one, the App is designed to
allow listeners to select the music by their mood or the general genre. Each Zone or
more focused Special Selectahs allows subscibers to intuitively enjoy
continuous flow, curated tracks from a hugely diverse collection. Karen wanted
Jamarado to be all about the music - no Ads, no chat, fiddly playlists or image
bombardment. She believes this Radio X Streaming approach creates an explorative
and inspiring listening experience, streamlined to counter today’s overloaded
choices. Jamarado is a new way to listen to reggae - the simplicity of the past
with the tech of today. Behind Karen’s motivation lies the
belief that this much-loved music deserves more reach and more power. Launched
in 2019, Karen believes Jamarado can give the music more prominence, show
its diverse talent and reach both existing and new audiences. In 2018 the UN
ruled that reggae be protected due to its contribution to world peace and
social equality. Karen’s own passion for reggae has spanned over 20 years and touched her entire life from spirituality and politics to fashion, interiors, travel, food, festivals and friends. It all started with a tape of Jamaican Rocksteady, and a very memorable cab journey from Brixton with a Ghanaian driver who played Gregory Isaacs all the way. On hearing this music, Karen felt she had come home.
The music drew Karen to a new world as she began DJing. It was the era of raves and house music where vinyl ruled and the clubs boomed. Karen succeeded in bringing reggae to the chill rooms, bars and private parties. Moving to Notting Hill further fuelled her passion. Here, she connected with the people who lived the music and the communities that have embraced it. To Karen's surprise she won a PHD scholarship at UCL to research the impact of reggae on British identities.

Single motherhood
and fashion then called. Karen was
one of the founding members of Liberty
of London personal styling department, going on to run her own bespoke
label Albertine Burdett (known for
its tropical, floral and African Vlisco prints), and her own styling business,
The Intrepid Stylist.
Throughout the highs
and lows, Reggae always grounded Karen and became the soundtrack to her life. Whether listening at home
or going out dancing she loves how uplifting and reflective the music is. As Bob Marley said “One good thing
about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain,” In Karen’s words, “Jamarado,
like the music itself, was born from passion, loss and rebirth, and the belief
that brighter days will always dawn. The App is all about exploring the music
and checking into its vibes, knowing the best places to go out, what to enjoy,
how to look and feel good, whilst feeling a sense of belonging and adventure.” Jamarado is the
easy reggae music and lifestyle App with a big vision.

Karen fell in love with Reggae in the 90s when she started listening to the early Wailers tracks and some 60s Rocksteady she discovered on a tape bought at a market in London. This then led her into discovering the many genres of Reggae from Rocksteady to Roots, Lovers to Dancehall. She was always fascinated by how the music made her feel.....read more

Sara’s love for Reggae began with her mum’s Sunday morning ritual of cranking up the stereo in an effort to get her pre-teen bum out of bed with the loud & proud voices of the likes of Bob Marley, Yellowman, Dennis Brown & Gregory Isaacs. Their message to her young ears was loud & clear, questioning the establishment & speaking your truth were important to living your life. .....read more
