In this episode of The Moreish Podcast, Hema and Kesha, a Jamaican-Canadian storyteller, chat about the rich tradition of Caribbean folklore.
Kesha discusses the timeless relevance of folktales, the cultural significance embedded in them, and how they have evolved and intermixed across Caribbean countries. From trickster tales featuring Anansi to the eerie stories of Lagahoo and La Jablesse / La Diablesse, Kesha explains how these narratives continue to shape social behaviours and cultural identity. She also touches on the influence of colonization and the fusion of African, Indian, and Indigenous traditions in Caribbean folklore.
