À propos de ce contenu audio
In this Season 2 finale, host Jahmi Roc (Racquel Bernard) interviews guest Jheanelle Brown, exploring the intersection of Jamaican identity, diaspora, and reggae music. They candidly discuss the complexities of claiming "Jamerican" identity, examining how reggae shapes understandings of Blackness and home for Jamaicans living abroad. Jheanelle reflects on reggae's political power—referencing Mutabaruka in Sankofa—while sharing personal memories of a Desmond Dekker album and passing down culture through Miss Lou's poetry and The Harder They Come soundtrack to the next generation. The conversation touches on Jheanelle's family members actively bridging generations through reggae performance, the reductive stereotypes that flatten the genre's depth, and even K-pop's surprising connections to reggae riddims. Ultimately, Jahmi Roc guides a thoughtful dialogue encouraging diaspora members to learn reggae's history, resist performative identity, and embrace its roots in global Black resistance.
