Kumina

[papagedenibobey]

That"s de same,same rythm played in Trinidad/Tobago fe " Stickfight'n ; trance tyme ;

[martytrain]

Interesting this music sounds nothing like roots rub a dub but does seem to have a connection with the current dance Hall rythems of today.

[foxylilmimi]

hte jamaican culture is sooo unique its great!

[rafjam]

I'm not specialist but that music has it roots in Africa, Congo more specifically. So I assume the words are probably close from the languages they were speaking there.

[sushimitten]

I'm Jamaican through and through but...wah dem ah seh? Wah dem ah sing seh? I can't understand the words. What are they saying?

[pusifut]

@sushimitten lol same ting mi a say brejin! lol in any event, ive read that people that live in Maroon communities and and areas where country Kumina is followed still use some Congo words. I think we even use some and dont realize. His accent is just thick. The second song I hear him singing "oh wire waist" and "whol mi roun mi waist"

[onlymario21]

U know what stfu

[dbbification]

Great music. I'm from Croatia and I play kumina and nyabinghi drums. I adore grater :D This would have great sound with a brick and claves

[rafjam]

this is definitely Kumina. Mento is different with another rythm.

[MsCherol]

@rafjam yes this is kumina

[dbbification]

@rafjam

This is native kumina. Kumina is music for trance and they speak african languages when they are in trance :)

[mayb60]

Is this Kumina? I want to think is Mento singing.

Just beautiful. Our people are too musical. When you know yourself, you just have to love yourself.

Its a shame! it looks like there were many audio electronics in the background but only one microphone for them. Long live Kumina!

From Akompon to Stage, Kumina Expressions. Impressive performance. When you know who you are by keeping your culture, nobody can control you. Ours music is bad, theirs is better. Our skin is bad, so bleach to be like them. Let the wise understand.

I bet you're one of those who straighten and bleach. Who's the real devil worshipper.

[ruppertups]

passapassa2006 - loaded comment. clearly one filled with self-hatred.

[xXxCBCHxXx]

You are not worthy of commenting on this as this was the original of our African religion which was demonised by the Europeans and classed as voodoo and black magic so that we can follow their religion and remain under their control..it has worked with you , you damned fool!

[nnekaayana28]
