Much of the world had never seen or heard of the Jamaica that Jimmy Cliff introduced in 1972’s “The Harder They Come.” The film, and its accompanying soundtrack, brought the genre out of Jamaica and helped pave the way for future stars. nyti.ms/4ol4Lm3

They’re extremely upset about the idea that the founding fathers were also inspired by non-European structures of governance.
