- Tivoli Gardens - Possibly the most feared garrison in all of Jamaica! Today I got unrestricted access to film deep inside the forbidden Tivoli. Possibly more impressive was my guide for the day, Oneil "Coco" Coke a well respected individual from the community and activist for change and healing.

Watching this brings tears to my eyes. Especially, while they passed through Ebenezer church and then towards Spanish town road, on route to the market. It reminds me of my days as a young girl, walking that route from "Courts"(the centre buildings of Tivoli, newer buildings) where we lived. I would take that route daily, to get the bus for high school(St Hugh's High). These were my stomping grounds, my childhood. I will never be ashamed of where I came from, I pray for a better today and tomorrow for those children seen in the beginning and more. Thanks for your documenting of my once home Chris. God bless you
I used to go with my father to coronation market to sell all di way from trelawny
Bless up
same fam 😞
Young boy wearing the light green
T Shirt 👕 very intelligent. I am glad those mens are doing good in Tivol Garden and teaching the young children.
The tour guide is a blessing to his community. His level of knowledge and his passion for a brighter future for Tivoli is one that can be admired. You can see that with some investment and positive energy there is nothing that can not be achieved.
Chris I migrated to the USA from Jamaica 30yrs ago ‘Tivoli Gardens’ have always had a’bad’ name…it brings smiles to my face hearing & seeing the positive changes…thanks Chris for your input.
Cuddle E. Hugs was here in the front door😂
The next time you're doing a video Kiba camera underpainting
@caboverde
Great commentary about your visit to Tivoli Gardens in my country. This will certainly encourage people visiting.
I can't wait to visit. And meet the 2 men who showed you around and explain in full about what they want for Tivoli.
The driver who was in the UK highlighted the importance of visiting Tivoli gardens to see the foundation the Members of the community applied and wants for the children of the future.
I hope young Joshua will be successful in his education for the future to aim for the profession that he would like.
There are so much potential in those children as long as they are willing to learn.
I would like to congratulate the young men who are the pioneers for the transformation of Tivoli Gardens.
Blessings always and continue to be Strong 🙏❤
And a big thank you to Chris for choosing Tivoli for everyone to view.❤
Chris nice to see you found some highly intelligent men from the so called ghetto of Tivoli to show the world.
Big up Chris Tivoli gardens is the only self contained community in Jamaica the best only bad mouth 👄 on Tivoli big up ❤❤❤❤
Hi Chris long to see you back in Jamaica🌹🌹🌹🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏
The kids are really a blessing! god's gift for healing! I feel the love in their energy and vibration! True happiness, gratitude, strength...🇯🇲

I was born in Denham Town but grew up in the UK however the majority of my family live and work in tivoli Gardens Burgher Queen is my niece I was able to return to Jamaica in 2019 and stayed in tivoli and will always say that I was made to feel very welcome by my family and the locals
My next video going up in a few minutes is from Denham town.
I've been watching your videos and I do salute your courage in highlighting these places
Hello Chris, welcome to one of our garrisons Tivoli gardens. God bless.
Decades ago I I went to Tivoli Gardens when the community had just built it was very nice , then and safe..I guess over the years things have changed which makes it a monster. I am glad to see they're trying to rebuild their community .
In all the decades hearing about Tivoli, this is my first time seeing Tivoli, and it takes a TH-camr, to show me this scary place, I've heard about since the 70-80s, I don't live in Jamaica, but I'm grateful to Chrismustlist, a World Traveler TH-camr, to go to those places, that drives fear in most people's hearts. TH-cam is an amazing platform, for showcasing the world, and so many cultures, communities and societies globally. As a Jamaican living abroad, I learn and see alot about Jamaica, from watching TH-cam. Thanks alot for showing this place that was a mystery to me.
May Peace and love reigns within your lovely community.
GOD Richest Blessings to all.
BlessUp CML. 🇯🇲🇱🇷❤
Well said!
I appreciate the love and thank you very much for taking the time to express your feelings. Comments like yours keep me shooting and exploring this wonderful planet.

Keep being brave jamaica 🇯🇲 we will win.
Joshua is a brilliant young man with a bright future and thanks to the tour guide, he's a great influence to the community. I really enjoyed this. Thanks Chris, this was an awesome experience through you. The rain signifies blessings.
Yes hes a very smart young man. I can't wait to watch him succeed in life!
@@ChrisMustList I know
The DJ/Righteous was AWESOME! I smile the whole time he was spitting lyrics.
O'Neil and the other leaders are doing an amazing job of helping the kids in the community to reach tbeir dreams towards a better future. That's awesome! Great improvement happenings in Tivoli Gardens. Lotsxof hard work to be done and definately lot of healing for the community and the neighboring communities. I pray that God will help the communities of Tivoli and the rest of the citizens to unite in peace and harmony for the sake of the children of the future generation. Chris, you're very brave to walk in Tivoli Garden, but thanks for exposing the positive things that are going on in Tivoli. ❤🙏🏼. The tour guides were awesome and knowledgeable about their community and I hope their dreams of the future will be successful 🙏.
Chris, love your video of life in Tivoli. There is a Tivoli in every country but to understand life in Tivoli you have to live there. I noticed a lot of your video was shot in the section called the Bump. As a Jamaican Chinese I lived in Tivoli in a building in the section called the Bump before immigrating to NY. The buildings were much newer and the parks had flowers and water fountains with light which they usually light up at night then.
Tivoli is a community that takes of its own people and if you live there you have not much to worry about. The creator of Tivoli was Mr. Seaga creation and I can see the place is not in the same condition since he retired from politics. The children in Tivoli are not different for any other children living in a poor community. Its the responsability of the MP of the are to take care of the community and the childrens and stop stuffing their pockets.
Hi Chris , I really and truly enjoy this documentary, I am honestly impressed. To the children who are so forward, the sky is the limit. Joshua, that neurosurgeon intent as your future employment I am holding you to it. Jamaica needs you son, we need youths like you who are thinking outside the usual box as you are the future leaders of Jamaica . Keep up the good work son, education is the key.
One Jamaica ❤ To the Rasta man who took you around , what you are doing with the youths is commendable. To the artist, your vision is real, the concept behind the art is really and truly therapeutic which should help those persons who lost their love ones during the unjust incursions. Stay bless all of you who are working to make Tivoli a better place and which through extension will make Jamaica great once again.
Chris must List, again you opened my eyes to a new place,Tivoli.
One Jamaica.
Truth
Chris do you remember the days of slavery i am a senior African born in jamaica grew up in England. From age 14 had3 children ,then my family moved to America and I could write a book on your wicked ancestors and even now in 2023 your people.are still evil wicked an bad we as black people will only heal when we finally get completely away from you an yours how can you really go to Africa after your past history in mama Africa you got your name your language your family history,we got your name your language.and your peoples rule to obey all our life every country in the world include Africa and instead of going to Europe where you’re from ,you go mama Africa ,and that should make us happy to see you we know what you did and still doing you stole the earth and everything our creator gave to us see how you can afford to go to the country we live where your people keep us in poverty and hand out chump change ,Chris when did you ever go to bed hungry ,black people slowly but for shore will wake up from their slumber and coma your people put them in ,Chris remember karma it’s real no sin can go unpunished there is a black god that’s watching over his entire earth and watch what he is goin to do ,remember nothing last for ever every thing on the earth changes with time ,Africans who have been brutalize an still is will be free ,Chris all your life from birth you only know freedom,tell me who was it died and made your people boss of the earth ,where ever you go god made the earth the ground to identify with only black people ,brown mama earth is all brown an every thing come from her,journalist tell your people to turn from their wicked ways the whole earth is following them,they have turn my people into walk-in dead with there mind control,an turn them from their creator Chris I had to let you know that some of us know the truth and that truth has set our mind free,you can fool some of our people sometime but you can’t fool all the people all the time Chris when is the slave masters children going to discuss how you turn our life upside down,five hundred years and no discussion you’ll just throw every details under the rug like nothing happen,acting all friendly like we should just forget about it ,we’ll Chris some of us can’t we cannot forget our holocaust it’s in our daily lives , Africans in the America get murder by the police every day You know thanks for listening my creator instructed me to inform and remind you ,also the millions of ancestors that went through the middle passage they’re here with the chosen few it’s called the awakening,
Nice to see you back in Jamaica Chris and competing your mission to visit Tivoli Gardens. One thing I noticed is that all the kids all aspire to be in a good profession that helps people. That is down to the community upbringing ❤
😮
Chris, I'm now in Canada and I captained the Track n Field team to the National Stadium back in the late 60's. Maga man days.
I also brought one of Canada's Provincial Minister of Education to that area at his request, everyone thought he was crazy, the visit went well. I still have family there.
Respect Chris.
19:44 - That was a massacre or genocide that was committed in Tivoli Gardens! Watching from the UK: It's great for the rest of Jamaica to watch this as well as the world to see the cooperation and potential happening there now for all, artists and healers creating a positive message and a reconnection with Africa 💚
Genocide is very appalling.. And the victims were innocent civilians...
Seeing the building I grew up on (right before Burger Queen) made my heart light up. Those kids and artist "Lightening" had me lmao 😂😂🥰
You Made History Again Chris 💯
The Ghetto in Jamacia seems far more evolved than the ghettos in Trinidad. The positivity movement is strong! Trini step up.. 🏅
As always kids will always be kids no matter where they live these little boys really touched my heart ❤️ they’re so young and innocent they all reminds me of my grandson . The children are our future show them love ❤️ respect and help them grow up to be good citizens of society . Blessings upon our children
WA GWAAN BIG MON CHRIS BIGUPS YUHSELF MUCH RESPECT TO YOU, COCO, & THE PEOPLE OF TIVOLI GARDENS!!🇯🇲🤘🏼 You are in a lane of your own among travel vloggers. I've been to every state & in the U.S except Hawaii. I've been to a few Canadian cities. I love to explore the areas I'm told not to go, & find out what it's really like, because I find great ppl in every community, & truly some of the most kind-hearted, loving & caring ppl I've ever met in the Ghettos. The negative Aspects get Amplified so much, ppl don't see any positives so these communities often get abandoned, & exiled by the General public because of perception. PLEASE POST THE GOFUNDME SO WE CAN SUPPORT!!
Love the energy…TIVOLI MUST RISE AGAIN 💯🦾🫡
Thank you for showing there is good in every bad. Children are the newest love of the next generation. We teach them love, happiness, God, beauty, passion, good from bad, and not killing Jamaica will prosper from their minds. Love and Respect!! JAH JAH!!
may the spirit of the rasta spread inna the community and bless jamaica with peace ... oneLoveCountry of many colours must get blessed ! me soon come back .... by grace of God
The most underrated TH-camr! Most non-enoying TH-camrs out there!
Of all the garrison communities in Jamaica Tivoli is the cleaness and looks more like normal communities big up to mr seaga..the boss
Big Up Chris Must List, good to see he is back in the country again much respect Chris.
Jamaica is a nice island, nice to see Chris trying to show a positive side to Jamaica at the same time keeping it REAL I would love to see the country do better man violence and bad-mind needs to go away for the country to go in the right direction.
normal local's who run a business shouldn't not be getting extorted trying to make a living for their family. Hate seeing the people beg beg for this and that its an turn off let someone buy the people something off their own back not beg (just my opinion).
big up Chris and Big up the others who are trying to show positivity in JA!
Pray one day Jamaican returnees can come back and invest in the country more make Jamaica better!
#prayingforabetterJamaica
Chris issa must watch... big up from St.vincent And The Grenadines .. Jamaica Nuff Raspect soon touch yard.

If only more communities where inspired to educate the youth about love , peace and humility and enjoy life for its simplicities, as Whitney Houston sung, the children are our future. This is so inspiring, live to be free. Open heart and open mind ❤
Thanks COCO you did a great job with the tour and the presentation of the community.
A change is very important especially for the younger generation… we need peace and love for the to build a better future and a stronger community 🙏🏿🇯🇲
Enjoyed this video. I've been to Tivoli in my earlier years in Jamaica. The people were warm kind and lovely. What happened in Tivoli was evil and definitely orchestrated by the US government through the gullible Jamaican government. It was sinful. They will pay.
Good content chris ..congrats to the folks at Tivoli gardens for the mural project and all the forward projects...Great Kids. Blessings
in spite of all the poverty, i see RICHNESS!!! the people!! omg the people! so positive, so talented, and so friendly...
People UNITE, and nothing, not even an earthquake, or gangsters, or anything could ever bring you down. Thank you Chris, spaces only need light to get over the shadows. Tivoli Garden bad? i think it is just a bad reputation, personally i think that this movement won´t stop, and things are gonna be better, but Jamaicans need to BELIEVE, as Chris Believes in you, and i believe in you. Kingstown rise and shine, you know you can do it. Bless.
When the 2 bredren spoke of healing, I was in tears. Healing within communities.❤Jah Bless❤
Love your documentary Chris. It was well done. You showed Tivoli in a new light. The people are wonderful and you were respectful of their culture and local rules. The people who helped with your tour are well learned. Thanks a million for sharing this documentary to the world.
Still love the video😁
#onlyin876
Joshua is going places.. he has lots of confidence. Kudos to him
I couldn't agree more. What you didn't see off camera was the way he conducted himself. Where other kids his age were playing, he wanted to have real conversations. I can't wait to watch him succeed!
A blank canvas to project your gift of artistry blessings ✊🏿 Jamaica 🇯🇲 land we love 💗 downtown
Blessings Mr Chris.
I'm originally from Jamaica now in the UK and their is a Tivoli Gardens in Jamaica and where I am now is literally 10 minutes away from Tivoli Gardens in the UK as well but luckily not notorious here.
Freedom fighter conscious Chris opens the gates to the real Jamaica 🇯🇲 one love.
I used to go to Ebenezer Metbodist... the church featured in this live... those days were some good memories for me but now as an adult I understand the trauma and the triumph that has been taking place... this is a beautiful thing ur doing Chris... much respect
I hope Green and Orange comes together for Peace.

Been a few times to jamaica, and trust me it a Beautyfull place lovely people great food, and the best music inna di world , thanx Chris for being there to show not only the toerist part, one love outta holland.
Oh Jesus, my heart is broken again as when I first saw the news in 2010. Seeing this again, brings back raw emotions. I pray for those lives lost innocently in this unlawful incursion and the ones still suffering from the effects. It felt like the world hated the people of Tivoli at that time and beyond. The comments and views being shared at that time and even after, really hurt my soul to see and hear. But God sees and knows all.
#onlyin876
Chris i want to give my gratitude to you for showing the world that Tivoli garden is a blessed community i hope everyone down there know that they're very very special one love from my ❤
Chris I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you are doing to the ghettos in Jamaica. I am a jamaican attended Tivoli Garden High School back in 1968 -1969 Tivoli was a beautiful community that put out a lot of talented minds in the community center in steel band,modeling shows basketball etc..A matter a fact I was living with my mom's friend while attending Tivoil High ,I had several friends living in the community at the time. ❤😢
37 years of age and I have never been to this community. Tour guide starting with the man in the mirror. I love jt
Tivoli gardens was supposed to be a self sufficient working class community that politics and tribalism ruined and morphed into a political garrison. There are possibly thousands of horror stories associated with this one neighborhood and my family could speak of many BUT there are many stories of triumph as well. Informative video that was tastefully and respectfully shot and edited. Much respect ✊🏾
You can trace that back to the powers that be from a foreign land…that’s the commonality for many ghettos across the globe.
My Jamaican 🇯🇲 people are full of good 👍 vise and beautiful love them 😋
I watch your videos from start to finish on my tv like a movie with a big smile on my face 😂😅 when its done then I can check my phone!
I think it would be also a great transformation to paint over all the buildings as well because it would go well with the paintings in the community... voluntary painting would be great also etc
Blessings Chris. Locked in from Kingston 🇯🇲
Energy speaks for itself...Intention is everything and it's a good one. Jamaican's pick up on your hidden vibe instantly and will reflect accordingly...Energy , Frequency and Vibration...Bliss and love...Big Up Chris and All
I love Jamaica fully… I’m back n forth … back in November.. coming in from the cold
Total Respect 🔥💯
I wish this never had to end! Jah jah! Greatness Joshua! U could be a politician or prime Minister bring about a change!
Thank you Chris for your thoughtfulness.
Chris thanks for sharing, I remember watching on CNN,this was very emotional.Hope they can keep restoring the Park while kids enjoy it 🙏
Salute to you sir and much blessings to all who assisted in the production of this film. I had a conversation some years ago with a Breddrin from TG. I told him, the world is interested in Kingston's inner cities, TG in particular. We have heard about, Trench Town, Backa wall, Denham town, Gully side, Grants Pen, Spain town, Rema, and many, many more, from listening to reggae music, particularly DJ's social commentary and many lovers of the music would love to put a place to the names by experiencing a guided tour. He said that it was a brilliant idea, but their security could not be guaranteed. Your video gives me hope that we are moving towards a time when tourist can visit these areas and create a much needed cash injection. The people of these environments deserve a chance and many are willing to do what they can to assist, Myself included. Great work and bless up your Jamaican, English, cab driver and your guides.
Thank you for sharing this. Sending love & light to you!❤
I love Jackie. Respect to people of Tivoli Gardens, respect Chris, one love
Uplifting These Colors & Meanings!..Beautiful!!!❤
Chris, thank you for showing us the best sides of the beautiful Jamaica. Jamaica is not a resort it is real life with the most coolest people on earth ❤ i love the truth and culture of the real jamaica 🇯🇲
