Description
Dozens of residents, reggae enthusiasts, and musicians contributed ideas for this Reggae Lane Mural designed by artist Adrian Hayles. Situated in the Little Jamaica neighbourhood, the mural, along with a plaque erected in 2015, celebrate the rich local music history of the community. The mural pays homage to many musicians, featuring legendary Little Jamaica resident artists: Leroy Sibbles, Jay Douglas, Jackie Mittoo (and more), as well as key figures such as Haile Selassie, Bob Marley and the Skatalites.
