Über diesen Titel

JRJ podcast, hosted by the vibrant Jahmi Roc (aka Racquel Bernard), is a seriously silly space dedicated to intentional musicology, sonic joy, and reggae insights that keep your mind rocking and thoughts swaying with rhythmic wisdom. Diving into Season 2, episodes groove through profound explorations like reggae epistemology—a Jamaican tradition of knowing through music's resistance to colonial and neoliberal structures, riffing off blues epistemology to blend history, politics, spirituality, and liberation in bass-heavy beats.Jahmi Roc Musik
  • S2 E16 Jahmi Roc and Jheanelle Brown Reggae and Home
    Dec 22 2025

    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.
