The Pioneers är en jamaicansk reggaetrio vars storhetstid var på 1960-talet.
De var en av de mest kända harmonigrupperna från den första reggaeperioden i slutet av 1960-talet. Gruppen har ibland bytt medlemmar, men uppträder fortfarande då och då. De var populära i Storbritannien, särskilt bland skinheads. De har haft två stora hits där: "Long Shot Kick de Bucket" 1969, och "Let Your Yeah Be Yeah" vilken nådde # 5 på UK Singles Chart 1971.
1980 gjorde The Specials en cover på "Long Shot Kick de Bucket", som togs med på deras "Special AKA Live!" EP, vilken nådde # 1 i Storbritannien.

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
