Similarities: Ghana & Jamaica Video 01 (Nanny of The Maroons…)

WE ARE ONE!!
Nanny of The Maroons, Jamaican Akan (Asante) Freedom Fighter:
The story (using Ghanaian highlife music) of Nanny the woman who with Kujoe led a revolt against the British and won. She and her Community called the Maroons fled to the mountains…

The Maroons are descendants of Akan Ghanaian slaves in Jamaica who still retain much of the Akan culture and some Akan words are still used in their patois.

Enjoy!!
