BBC Radio 1Xtra returns to Jamaica for a week of reggae, bashment and dancehall

BBC Radio 1Xtra DJs David Rodigan, Seani B and Toddla T are journeying to Jamaica.

The three DJs will travel to the Caribbean to put together a bundle of exclusive music, interviews, DJ sessions and live performances that you can hear on 1Xtra from Sunday 18 January through to Sunday 25.
