Do more research
I’m happy these stories are being told and the culture is being preserved.
Yes!!
Aben(g) Means horn in Akan language. Horn of animal is Abeben which is still abeng. Till date its an instrument use by the Akan Kings for events and in the Kings Palace. Ashanti and Akans are truly linked to Jamaicans.
Koromantse is a town near Cape Coast , Ghana . It’s a predominantly fishing and farming community. They are known for their tall and strong stature - and the originators of booby traps and jungle warfare in Ghana .
They don’t want our DNA to wake up this blood flows through a lot of people beyond the beautiful land of Jamaica this just gives me goosebumps watching these Gods talk 💯💯💯💯💯💯🧿
Thank God, Africa and Jamaica has direct flights now. I will be visiting Africa soon.
God is great; one love!
One people (please remember) separated by the Mzungu
The Motherland!
Well done I Never Knew TV, well done! We must tell our own history!
D GH Give thanks fyah ball
My grandmother was maroon... Thank you Rasta man, this is a wonderful video, such history...
Respect Go Out The Maroons 👏 Please Note History Cry Of The People 👏 Please
My grandmother is a maroon, I always enjoy hearing these stories.
Coromantee derieves from Fort Coromantine in Kormantse, a coastal town in Ghana (then Gold Coast). The Maroons and the Coromantees are all West Africans ... Like the Brother said, mainly Akan (Ghanaian). For instance, Accompong is the Akan "Nyankopong" The Almighty.
Will Smith brother?
Thank you for the history 👊

Salute!!! Respect!!! 💯 For telling the truth...80yrs of fighting for our freedom and we achieved it!!! We the new generation will continue to fight to keep it!!!💯🔥☝️🦾🏋️🇯🇲
Amazing interview and story telling
thank you for the video....im so proud that these are my ancestors.
also a big part of history missing , are how the pirates were able to take the Spanish gold so easily , a lot of their crews were from the Maroon Fighters
I hope the Jamaican marroon connection to Suriname will become common knowledge in the near future🗣
I love this history lesson. My grandmother mother people's were maroon Ashanti tribe.
The stories that told was quite similar .
It interesting to note the guerilla warfare went on for eighties years.
My great mother and grandmother and my dad family are from the maroons etc!
There’s also a town called Moree . Another fishing and farming community known for their strong and tall stature . I think the maroons in Jamaica have to visit these communities whenever they visit Ghana . They have got so much things to say - Bob Marley ❤
The holding fort in Kromantsi is called Fort Amsterdam. Currently lies in ruins.
We still watching!! Appreciating Historical Truth vs. what we have and have not been taught in Truth.
They should mek 1o billion version of dat riddim.
But seriously, that was heavy, beyond words.
Yo Rasta man look like Will Smith... brothas all around the world

Dna test 100 positive
BLESS RASTA GOOD INFO BLESS NOTTON TEST
Same people are in Suriname too
Truth.teller007 And in India
Knowledge is good
Hello there, it's such a nice video you have done there👍🏻 I come up with a resource but couldn't back it up with reliable resource; which is some of the Jamaicans have roots from the Cushite people of Ethiopia too and H/selassie let Jamaicans reside in a place called "Shashemene" as a deserved reward in Ethiopia after His Majesty approved the dismissal of people being obtained as property. Would you do some research on that? Thank you💙
Very knowledgeable king 👑 🇯🇲
Long time no see L.L.R. Nice to hear you.
Great to hear how history has is it things make sense.
Just found out my great grandfather was a maroon. I had an idea because I've always been a rebel. I've also heard there are areas in Jamaica occupied by maroons that no one travel or else they may be killed. If this is true it is unfortunate because I'm very interested in knowing my history,
It’s true lol
Yes I learned that maroon blood runs deep in the Caribbean also the maroons were the meanest Africans! ✊🏿
It’s not true. People go to the maroon towns for the cultural experience all the time lol. Go to accompong for thing they hold every January
Hi who is the man in the video with the locks talking do you have a contact info for him I would like to talk with the brother
According to my Dna test as a Jamaican I did not find any Ghanaian in me
but found matches in Senegambian/Guinea Bissau such as Fulani ,Balanta
and Mandingo.I also found matches in the Kru of Liberia,the Mende of
Sierra Leone, I found myself to be 54% Nigerian of Isan or Edo of Benin
and 2% Arawak or Native America.
Dna tests are fake😂
@@Michelle-ob2un It is easy to say but you have not proven your claim so whatever you say is just mute,
thats amazing! Not all Jamaicans of African descent
I don’t trust and believe this dna test. Most people who did the test got Nigeria, everyone I know including me and I have no Nigerian background, what so ever. So you are telling me every African and every Black person all over the world is Nigerian? It’s been set up that way because Nigerians are populous in Africa. Everyone should stop doing these test, it’s money grabbing false information.
What is the 🎶 Music at the first seconds ?
What is the name of the song that start this video please?
Guys listen this made me pass my test
whats the song at the beginning
Nice. Some of his words he speak like the Northern Irish people.
Thank you E se from a Yoruba brother.
This man name is Lawrence and he is not an official historian of Accomopong who also happens to be a rasta.
This was super informative. I will show all my kids and them to make them know say everything come from something and somewhere. Heritage, history and origin. Done know.
I still don’t understand the whole reasoning behind the maroons capturing runaways. I thought that was a compromise they had to make during the 80 years war with the British but the man’s saying that didn’t happen at all?
Great interview. Really need to know more about did the maroons became slave catcher or not. I always thought it was apart of the treaty they signed. Any clarification???
Nkosi Yamakosi I seen a documentary once where they showed (alleged) original documentation with the various treaties by the British Army commander. I'd say it probably did happen in some capacity, but nowhere near as much as they make out. It is like the whole "you sold your own into slavery" thing, yes some did, but a hell of not didn't and we're taken by force
Matt Sherv , thanks
Nkosi Yamakosi Bless. Seems in written history they push the idea that Maroons 'sold-out' and captured slaves. While oral history denies the claims. Seems like a small group of Maroons did assist the British to recapture slaves. Then the writers of his-story claimed all Maroons help capture slaves when that is just not true.
Give thanks
I Never Knew Tv , great point. But I wouldn’t say sold out, who are we to now judge the struggle of the ancestors, without the yoke around our necks or the whip on our backs. The preservation of life is natural instinct of all living things, and some of us in this generation would sell out our mama under less pressure, to preserve our own lives.
Matt Sherv , our ppl have a tendency to downplay our roll in our own demise, instead of focusing on our roll, learn from it, and take responsibility we tend to put the blame solely on others, “ the devil made me do it” . The greatest thing I’ve seen is Ghana’s president apologizing for the roll they played in our enslavement , now we can heal and move forward. It was indeed a slave trade. Ships left the West with watered down rum and cheap trinkets , and return the human cargo. That’s a historical fact. Let’s stop making excuses and face it. Heal ourselves
In those days and now people pick the family they want to keep , and the rest get broken by crime the law and system commits. I myself was sent for breaking up and know how other who didn’t go hold you between it and them.
The Maroons are very unique. They mixed with the Arawaks so a lot of them do have Arawak DNA.
That's a lie...... they are not mixed
@Mary S what native Americans in Jamaica????
@Mary S you need to go back and research some more, and your response shows how ignorant you are..... do you have to be Egyptian to know about them? It's called research!
Do you have to be a car mechanic to know about the mechanisms of a car? It's called research.
Do you have to be a professional chef to know how to cook? It's called research!!
I am a proud Asant`e from Jamaica and well versed in our culture.. anyone can know about an island.. its the culture that is more prominent.... try me if you want to be humiliated
@@ruthntorinkansah1937 bullshit you're either not even Jamaican or not well versed in history. Many of the runaway slaves who became the Maroons intermarried with the few surviving Tainos living in the mountains. The British also introduced a few thousand Miskito Indians from Honduras/Nicaragua to hunt down the Maroons but with little success. Their descendants settled throughput the St. Elizabeth parish and if you ever travel there and nearby Mandeville, you can still see many of people with almond shaped eyes.
Our traditional herbal remedies and jerk cooking were inherited from the Tainos. Only a blind person wouldn't notice Captain Cudjoe's Taino/Miskito heritage with his African ancestry.
@@markiec8914 You must be Taino or your peoples were, even the Maroons will say your comments are bull crap.
my birth parish big up
Bro I need to meet you brother 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I want to move here, tell more....
Is akropong is a town in a Ashanti is as same as acompong
The Maroon story is an important aspect of Jamaican history. Contrary to twhat the gentleman in this interview is saying, the Maroons did in fact play a significant role in the capture and return of runaway slaves to their British overseers. The Maroons also helped the British to suppress the Christmas Rebellion of 1821. This aspect of history is well documented and indeed, is acknowledged by Maroon elders themselves. The Maroon history is a rich and fascinating story and they were formidable warriors and skilled marksmen when they fought against the British. After the first Maroon war ended in 1738, a treaty was agreed with the British and the Maroons were given parcels of land. Many years later, a second war was fought against the British, inspired by the French Revolution and the Haitian slave rebellion against the French on the western portion of the island of Hispaniola. After a harsh and costly struggle against the Maroons, the British were finally able to force their submission in 1795 in Trelawney. Some of the Maroons were then taken to Nova Scoria in British North America, now Canada.
Your innate colonial fear of the truth is still evident to this day, that you felt it was so necessary to pen such a toxic version of your colonist demise at the hands of the Maroons. It is not our responsibility to cure you of our inherited savage and inhumane ancestry. The colonial descendants of today speak of 'saving' the planet and all the numerous species which their ancestors have hunted to near extinction. I could go on but frankly why bother... you are who you are....
@@newlifeinjamaica please do elaborate. You sound upset and unable to accept historical fact. Such a shame that you allow fact to colour your opinion.
Yes the British have a bloody and brutal history, they have spilled blood in more countries than any other people in the history of world.
@@oyaami1874 and yes, Africans have spilled blood, sold their peoples into slavery and committed genocide. Stop playing the victim card. Everyone’s shit stinks.
Don't forget the Tainos our ancestors as well helped the maroons to defeat the British. One love :3
Kwadwo or kojo is Ashanti name and aben is Ashanti name too
I am actually a direct descendant of this tribe, so great to know this information
Yes Rastafari, the Jamaican Maroons are collective slaves amounghts I and I, to form government to protect and free slaves from oppression. This was over 100 years before English presence in 1655.🙏🙏🙏

The history of slavery spans many cultures, nationalities, and religions from ancient times to the present day. However the social, economic, and legal positions of slaves were vastly different in different systems of slavery in different times and places.[1]
Slavery can be traced back to the earliest records, such as the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1860 BC), which refers to it as an established institution, and it was common among ancient people.[2]
Slavery is rare among hunter-gatherer populations, because it is developed as a system of social stratification.[3][4] Slavery was known in the very first civilizations such as Sumer in Mesopotamia which dates back as far as 3500 BC, as well as in almost every other civilization. The Byzantine-Ottoman wars and the Ottoman wars in Europe resulted in the taking of large numbers of Christian slaves, especially amongst the Slavic peoples of Central and Eastern Europe. Slavery became common within much of Europe during the Dark Ages and it continued into the Middle Ages. The Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, British, Arabs and a number of West African kingdoms played a prominent role in the Atlantic slave trade, especially after 1600. David P. Forsythe[5] wrote: "The fact remained that at the beginning of the nineteenth century an estimated three-quarters of all people alive were trapped in bondage against their will either in some form of slavery or serfdom."[6] Denmark-Norway was the first European country to ban the slave trade in 1802.
That’s just the first paragraph, slavery was around for thousands of years and the people sold there own people willingly for the cash or a trade.
U say all that to mean what
Are you even black
We don't need you to give us a history lesson on slavery, it would have been so much educative if you had given us a factual opinion about the Maroons!
we have the fulani warriors in jamaica too
@@Clamior521 oh that's great man they conquered many empires in west central africa
@@Clamior521 do you have his details small you explain it to me
@@Clamior521 oh ok for me I'm a fulani from futajalon guinea conakry but i was born in the Gambia but I'm now in liberia how is Sierra Leone

Yes my dna text show my ancestors are from Kingston jamaica and far as Africa Nigeria
But I'm born here in America and my parents are from here in America but I still say I'm jamaican and Nigerian
@@charlesjohnson7354 Do You Have Known Relatives In Jamaica?
He got it wrong about the Ashanti somebody lied to him.
I think I have Ibo in me..
MelaninWise222 I thought he said "igbo", maybe I wrong. The g is silent in that word
forgetfulfunctor1
Right, spelling is Ibo as they sometimes pronounce it..
MelaninWise222 gotcha my bad
forgetfulfunctor1
No, I'm bad...I corrected the spelling..lol
It's IGBO
The transatlantic slave trade narrative is false. We are the indigenous Caribs 🇯🇲
😂😂😂yeah sure!! The captured man will spin whatever narrative
@@tiffanybrown368 Prove it
The thumbnail looks the predator unmasked.
rastafari
He is very educated hope he paid a lot. Big up Jamaica big ting will land. Lol
The first slaves to Jamaica were not Ashantis, they were FANTES from KROMANTSI, KOMENDA. TAKY who led the uprising in 1760 in JAMAICA was from KOMENDA, the first Jamaicans that were shipped by the Spaniards to Europe in 1650 and to the Caribbean never met the Ashantis who were not coastal people. The Maroons originated from KROMANTSIN in the FANTE CENTRAL REGION OF GHANA were shipped to SURINAM and JAMAICA. NANE was not even an Ashanti, she was a descendant of FANTE people
The first prisoners of war taken to Jamaica came from Spain, they were black jews capture when the Spanish retook spain from Africans ( jews&moors)
He looks like a rasta version of will smith
True lol
Lol kinda
Wow Will Smith got old.
i just watched youtube by vagabond brothers about maroon. why are the maroons allowing this where are their video rights?
this is not about race. its about a quality of lifestyle. why do you keep showing your riches- is it that you so not know you are rich. someone else will take what you see as little to naught and make it precious.
In reply to Jeremy Stone's twisted response to this beautiful video...

Most Jamaican are not Ghanaian or Nigerian.They are from west Africa.
Lumumba Ansah yes they are bro. Some elders speak coromante in the hills. Which is verbally intelligible to asante Twi. They could have a full on convo. Real talk !
west africans are not even from west africa they are only there because of colonization , and that happended way before imperialism hit the americas.
if you talking about that video about coromante it sounded like regular patios to me with just a few west african words like sabi. It sounded real nice because the man had no teeth in his mouth
Lumumba Ansah so what are they,the flag is the same as the ashanti,a lot of the words are similar,but where ever they are from, they are one of the most unique people in the western hemisphere,they have a totally different language,they are blessed with music,and poetry arts,culture,sports,they are trend setters,they have a strong influence on the world.
everyone in west africa today migrated there forcefully because of colonialism or by their own will. The ashanti are not originally from west africa either they are possibly the original black europeans.
