Alicia Keys recreates a classic shot

It’s some of Jamaica’s best promotional work in a long time — and it’s all thanks to Alicia Keys.

Over the weekend, the music superstar released a remake of Jamiaca’s iconic 1972 campaign featuring Trinidadian model Sintra Arunte-Bronte.

That photo caused a sensation around the world and was a landmark for tourism promotion in the region.
