..."I am not from Jamaica and didn't grow up around black people neither. But, I remembered when I was sixteen years old in Honduras listening and dancing this music in a night club that had minors show from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM. At 11:00 PM we got kicked out it was time to go home. Unforgettable teenager memories that was in 1991/ 1992/ 1993/1994. It's 2018 and I still listening to it."

Here's information about the Caribbean meaning of passa passa from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passa_Passa

"Passa Passa is a weekly street party that originated in Kingston, Jamaica and has spread to other areas in the Caribbean. It is reported to have begun on Ash Wednesday in 2003 with the name being coined by Carl Shelley. It features dancehall music. It has spread throughout the Caribbean including ColΓ³n, Panama LimΓ³n, Costa Rica and later Puerto Rico. It is similar to a block party. The Passa Passa usually gets started around 1 a.m. and has been known to continue straight through until 8 a.m.”….
