In Jamaica. Blessings. Its your Nigerian BREDDA again. You know we have de same ting down yah too? In Yoruba language its Egungun sound like A-goon-goon. The drum pattern is original straight from Africa and hasn't changed in over 400 years. The drum is the heart of dancehall music. And you only see the masquerades at certain times of the year..like festival time an dem ting deh.
@MARK Scott Perhaps I didn't express myself properly sir. Never come here to argue with you. But to expose to the world that despite what black people have been through, nothing has been strong enough to break our cultural link that can be traced to even over 400 years. I am happy to Junkunu in Jamaica knowing fully well that Jamaicans of African descent have kept this to date despite all that the white imperialists did to destroy our culture.
Thanks for sharing I remember when I was a kid dem ting used to scare the heck out of me. DWL Port Maria my town! Blessings always to my wonderful Jamaican people
I remember mindlessly walking directly in the middle of them dancing when I was a small boy. They were dancing away. One of them warmly picked me up in his arms and told me to go home😂
Blood is thicker than water. We have that pregnant masquerade here in my village. (Amanuke) in Awka North local Government Area of Anambra state Nigeria. There's too much similarity between Igbo culture and Jamaican culture. Love you guys♥️
Loved it!!!! I wish I was in the traffic driving if not part of the parade. Lovely to see people still do it. Nuff love from Manchester............. 😀 🙂
small world mi bread.dat was a good look.remind me when i was about 10years old in st,ann Brown,'s stown Jamaica ofcourst,top road to in town all nite as a little youth u wa st u sleft,but yes its a gd look love it 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🧠🧠❤🤙
This reminds me of my cultural dance called jankunu, very similar but different. We garifunas are maintaining our history and traditions as much as possible . Respect to mi Jamaicans 🇯🇲🇭🇳
@@eve3363we do..nég gwo siwo is what is called in the French islands. We also paint our skins in all black (our ancestors use molasses) now it’s more popular to use charcoal. Or more known as jab jab
My first time in Jamaica this years with some of my friends from Portland we passed threw this town couple days before Christmas and I didn’t know Wth was going on lol but the broke it down to me I think it’s dope 🔥
Junkanoo and kumina must go on and also all the old original parts of our African culture. We all need to contribute to make sure they don’t die. Leave it to most of these youths of today, they will kill everything!
John Canoe was a king of the Ahanta state of the Akan people in modern day Ghana. He and his allies of the Ashanti(another Akan state,very known in Jamaica) took his native land from the Germans. News of the victory spread to Jamaica from the Ashanti and Ahanta alliance of captives that took part in the fight against the British and Germans. Every xmas, we hold the festival in his honour. To this day the Ahanta people and other coastal Ghanaians hold their own festival that look exactly like John Canoe called Kaakaamotobi every xmas time just like Jamaica. Do a UA-cam search and judge for yourself. They even scare kids and beg money. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Canoe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_Dress_Festival
Yo mi lion, mi did fraid a dem when me did small yuh nuh. Mi maddah use fi seh stay away from dem cause dem madd. When mi did younger tho Junkanoo crowd did bigger and dem did hole de road like carnival and cyar ave fi wait fi dem pass.
This should have being a grand part of our culture...practice n have different groups...make it something to look forward to in december....make it big...sell tickets...instead of sting n all the rest of dancehall stuff...
Igbo captives of Nigeria brought this customs to Jamaica. Fun Fact: The igbo of Nigeria shipped to Jamaica during the transatlantic slavery are the truth Hebrews of the bible.
ua-cam.com/video/t5VlQdLktvY/v-deo.html It's done in Belize 🇧🇿 too. The Caribbean shares similar cultures at the core it seems. Wonder where it originated from?
@@michaelmaxwell2464 No it's not. Junkanoo looks nothing like this. Junkanoo is inherent to Bahamian culture. Jamaicans do not care about their tradition, just Reggae and Dancehall.
@@eve3363Eediat. This has been in Jamaica since at least the 1700s perhaps even the 1600s. This was part of MY experience growing up as a child. While it is less prevalent today, community groups and the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission keep it alive. Other Jonkanoo parades exist in other Caribbean islands. How do YOU think that is possible? You think YOU spread it too hmmm? Guess what we ALL have in common? Enslaved African ancestors. That you are so STUPID to think that a three or four hundred year old tradition in Jamaica comes from the Bahamas? Really? John Canoe is said to have been Akan. One thought for OURS is that the masks are from Igbo tradition. Well wouldn't you know it TWO of the major groups from who we descend in Jamaican are the Akan and the Igbo. You think the Garifuna in Belize and the St. Lucians got it from you too? Too STUPID to realise that EVERY Caribbean country has at least one masquerade tradition. THIS IN THIS VIDEO IS JAMAICAN. It has NOTHING to do with copying anyone. There are OTHER Jonkanol traditions just like there are many Carnival like masquerades. Crop Over may look like Carnival right but Crop Over is its own thing just like Jab Jab. The level of ARROGANCE and downright STUPIDITY to think that you can own an African tradition that was passed down separately in DIFFERENT spaces where the SAME people were enslaved is well...something. Jamaicans' main ancestors are Akan including Ashanti, Igbo, Yoruba, Ibibio but not the ONLY ones. Taken mainly from Gold Coast& Bight of Biafra but also Bight of Benin, Senegambia, Congo etc. Guess what? These places STILL have masquerade traditions TODAY. Jonkanoo as seen in THIS video is JAMAICAN. You have YOUR version as do Belize and St.Lucia for example but do continue believing that Bahamas is the creator🙄🤡
This dancing foolishness is invoking (calling) upon and worshipping ancestral spirit and all the bystanders are in agreement. The same ancestral spirits who people in Africa worship for generations that make the people to live in extreme poverty, bondage and sickness. God is not the God of the dead. Jesus come to give life and give it in abundance. The devil came to kill, steal and destroy. We see who these people chose.

Junkanoo is Bahamian. If you look, there are not similarities between the two.
When I was a boy, me fraid a junkanoo bad! Me hear Junkanoo drum and fife, me tek wey myself like bolt.

At least none them are on stilts!
Junkanoo is Bahamian 🇧🇸 and Jonkonnu is Jamaican 🇯🇲. Please stop trying to steal Bahamian culture to increase Jamaican tourism and respectability.
It is the same thing and we have NO consistent way of spelling it in Jamaica.
