Two Jamaican Pieces is an orchestral suite composed in 1938 by Arthur Benjamin and using melodies from the West Indies. It is in two sections, Jamaican Song and Jamaican Rumba. The latter has become Benjamin's most popular work, and is frequently heard in an arrangement by the composer for two pianos.
