Jamaica, Land We Love — Yamaykaning milliy madhiyasi boʻlib, ushbu madhiya 1962-yilning iyul oyida rasman qabul qilingan. Madhiya 1961-yil sentabrdan 1962-yil 31-martgacha boʻlgan tanlovdan soʻng tanlangan, unda milliy madhiyaning soʻzlari Yamayka parlamenti tomonidan tanlangan. 1962-yil 6-avgustda Yamayka mustaqillikka erishgach, „Jamaica, Land We Love“ rasman davlat madhiyasi sifatida ishlatila boshlandi.

Tarix

Yamayka mustaqilligi eʼlon qilinishidan oldin, Yamayka Buyuk Britaniyaning Vest-Indiya federatsiyasiga tegishli boʻlib, u hali ham Birlashgan Qirollik hukmronligi ostida edi. 1962-yil iyul oyida tanlangan milliy madhiya oʻsha kundan boshlab rasman foydalanilgan.
