Today, the reggae world feels a deep and painful loss. We join millions of fans around the globe in mourning the passing of Jimmy Cliff—a true icon, pioneer, and one of the greatest voices in the history of Jamaican music.
Jimmy Cliff wasn’t just an artist. He was a movement. A bridge-builder. A cultural ambassador whose music carried the heartbeat of Jamaica to every corner of the world. From The Harder They Come to Many Rivers to Cross, his songs became anthems of resilience, freedom, and spiritual uplift. His voice was unmistakable—full of hope, soul, and truth.
His impact on reggae, ska, rocksteady, and global culture is immeasurable. He opened doors for generations of artists, inspired countless musicians (including all of us in Catcha Vibe), and helped carry Jamaican music onto the world stage with dignity and fire.
As a band rooted in love, unity, and the transformative power of reggae music, we honor Jimmy Cliff’s legacy with the deepest respect. His artistry shaped the path we all walk today. His message lives on in every drumbeat, every harmony, every bassline that lifts people up.
We send our love, strength, and condolences to his family, the Jamaican music community, and fans across the world who are feeling this loss.
May Jimmy Cliff’s spirit continue to shine bright.
May his songs continue to heal and inspire.
May we all carry forward the light he gave us.
Rest in Power and in Eternal Light Jimmy Cliff.
Your voice will echo forever.
Blessings and Love
— Catcha Vibe
