"Bobo Camp in Bull Bay" Jamaica Off The Beaten Path Tip by ultchuk

One of the oldest groups of the Rastafarian Movement in Jamaica is the one from Prince Emmanuel. His followers, the Edwardites or more commonly called 'Bobo's or Bobo Dreads' have a specific outlook on Rastafarianism. They live in Bull Bay, 10 miles out of Kingston, on top of a hill, they have baptised Mount Zion. The bobo's have a strict community. They wear a turban and robes. Their specific branch of Rastafarianism seems to be spreading since I was there and did a study on them in 1987/1988. Nowadays they have branches in Nigeria, Ghana and Ethiopia and on the major Caribbean Islands with a black community.
