We’re back with a new season as this February marks the first anniversary of the WWH podcast!! To celebrate, we’re launching Season 2 with our Abroad series. In this first episode our first stop is to the Caribbean: the USVI 🇻🇮, Jamaica 🇯🇲 - and ultimately hitting the US mainland (after a stopover in Brasil 🇧🇷). We’re highlighting Black (and Indigenous) music as "dissent" and sharing this insightful interview with Ro by Jack Matirko from the TST-TV show and #ONPBreakpoint.
Jack and Ro talk about the demonization of African culture in the West Indies as a cultural product and dynamic in religious practices on a landscape long shaped by Christian missionaries both Catholic and Protestant in colonial settlements where Black and indigenous people were forced to give labor. We also briefly the demonizing of Black musical forms throughout key periods of American music history and how they differ from Caribbean musical landscapes, from past to present.
