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.

[rafjam]

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

Kumina obeah Pocomania Jankanoo alll the things our mothers and fathers brought from their home should be promoted over the European bullshit.

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!

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

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.

@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"

[sushimitten]
