After contracting the Coronavirus and not able to work for months, Jamusa is facing financial challenges as the entertainment industry lays dormant mainly due to restrictions on large gatherings.

“The outpouring of love and support for Jamusa has been tremendous. Jamusa is one of the cornerstones of broadcasting in reggae throughout the Caribbean. As artists and members of the music industry, we should always support each other no matter how we feel,” said singer, broadcaster and publicist for the show, Joanna Marie Chin Loy.
