You step into the heat of the island as the van peels away from Montego Bay, Atlantic light sliding across the windshield while the coastline and hills trade places outside the window. The road to Kingston narrows, and the air changes—sea spray gives way to a scent of hot tar and fruit stalls—until the brick façade of 56 Hope Road appears: Bob Marley’s former home and studio.
