Reggae-dancehall artist Mr. Vegas has released a timely new single and video titled “Marching on to Progress”. The track arrives in the wake of a divisive general election and carries a message aimed at healing and uniting the nation.
The song is a remake of the People’s National Party’s campaign anthem “Blood and Fire Comrades”, but with a distinctly different focus. While the original celebrated the party’s drive to regain power, Mr. Vegas’s version broadens the perspective to highlight national progress beyond political lines.
The music video reinforces this vision of unity. It features dancers clad in both parties’ colors, joyfully moving and singing side by side. The visuals echo the song’s call for solidarity, demonstrating that despite political differences, the nation’s strength lies in togetherness.
With “Marching on to Progress”, Mr. Vegas blends music and message, offering not only a catchy remake but also a unifying anthem for Jamaicans navigating a period of political division.
