Started watching the channel yesterday, and I did binge watching on all “What’s it like being a Jamaican living...”, enjoyed them and found it informative!! 🇯🇲
Welcome! We're so glad you're enjoying our videos.
Thanks for watching Suzette. My goal is to interview a Jamaican in every country of the world.
I binge watched almost every episode too. Very informative indeed!!
Currently binging every time I wake up to breastfeed I watch an episode. Keep me awake😂
I just found this channel and I am doing the same binge watching all night I can't stop watching ❤😂
I'm here living with my family and I speak Spanish and my wife is learning Catalan. Dreaming in Spanish is constant.
Hi which area in Span is the Catalan language spoken xx
@@Limo7521Catalunya, the capital of which is Barcelona.
Nice interview. I am also a Jamaican Living in Spain. I have been here for 7 years now. When i first came here i only came across 4 Jamaican, seeing Jamaicans here was a rarity and still is. But over the past year or 2 the number has increased. I am part of a whatsapp and Facebook group called Jamaicans in spain with 40+ members. There is a good number of Jamaicans in Spain that i know who are not part of the group so the numbers are growing. Most are here in Madrid but there are some in Valencia, alicante, Barcelona, even cuenca ( very rural part of Spain).
Take care and enjoy your time there.
vicegrip vicegrip: Is there a Facebook group too as I would like to ask some questions about moving to Spain?
@@vivveene yes its called Jamaicans in Spain
Vicegrip vicegrip: I am not finding that group on Facebook.
Great, I enjoyed watching and listening to Xavier, Ana and Kiki. They are fun, they are really enjoying themselves.
Proud of these Jamaicans & the host, I have watched all the interviews in the series. These are the real Jamaicans that make us realise there are several sides to Jamaicans, not just those portrayed in a different light..👍🇯🇲👊❤👌🙏
@Un A Pologetic 👍
I wish I could voice exactly how this made me feel. Thank you for sharing, I felt my heart expand just by watching this. Thank you from a Jamaican in St. Lucia 🇱🇨
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Now I want to pack my bag and head off to Spain! 😁
Jamaicans ar certainly adventurious people, travelled to all corners of the globe.
I'm loving this channel so badly. I only found out about tis channel a month ago. It is the best for me.
So glad you love our channel. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed flamenco show when I holiday in Spain ,brings back memories,loving the show 👍🏿
This program is so informative! It makes me doubly proud of my people in a time where negatively soars, it is a breath of fresh air.
I found Barcelona's architecture spectacular. The Catalan was close enough to standard Spanish for me to butcher my way thru but the Siesta I could NOT wrap my mind around. Jus when me get up and out dem lock 🔐 up everywhere for hours. But Barcelona was coastal so it was nice. Sitges was a nice day trip. Btw I lost it when I saw a dread shirtless on a bicycle in Central Barcelona!
Thanks for sharing!
I remember seeing Ana Strachan on television performing with her sister.
I love this channel and how wonderful it is to see our great people of Jamaica who are not afraid of going to other places and widening their horizons, we're an amazing people and we love to challenge ourselves to be more creative and more importantly we can do something that will help us understand what is happening in other countries.
Another splendid interview...love these ladies.
Thanks!
I enjoy this channel he's a good interviewer and the people he interviews are all so charming ! One love un amor
Ana, are you planning to return to studies while there?
Thank you so much for the compliment!
Thanks, Danny. I am learning as I do these interviews.
Noz .
Thank you so much for this. I’m about to visit Barcelona and wanted to see what food and things to see while there. I’m from Kingston but live in LA. You beautiful ladies make me feel happy about my visit. The “poop” stories at the end had me ROTF 😅
I have fallen in love with the Spanish speaking countries and islands. Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico and Spain. The U.K. have been my foundation for 34 years, but now, I’m all Spain. All of it. My home for the rest of my life.😍😍😍😍
I'm the same.!!! Been living in the UK 23 years and regretted not going to Spain instead. Went to Spain in April and didn't want to come back here. I wish I had gone there before BREXIT. I would have stayed and now come back lol. Just a bit harder now that we are out of the EU but I will definitely move there in the near future. My determination to move there brought me to this video LOL
I love this, I really had a good laugh, really interesting learnt alot, Thanks keeper and Anna, bless your hearts.
I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subscribers. It is soooo coool!!!!!😎😎
All languages are important and interesting as it tells a story , yet others try to put some above the others
I love Malaga, Torreliminos, and took a trip over to Tangier, Morocco, where the food in Tangier was the best in all my travels.
I also visited Granada,and Alhambra.
Park Guell is a very interesting place I visited in Barca as well but the Sagrada Familia is just breathtaking!!!
Agreed! It's amazing!
Always enjoy these interview.
I have been waiting with bated breath for this interview as I live in Spain. I love ALL the interviews and GSL when Covid stop keep, I've got my travel bucket list. Some people best be expecting a knock at their door!!! 😂😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it and we can't wait to get back to traveling too!
What's GSL?
Something to do with laughter, I guess 🤔.
This has been one of the most interesting informative and also very entertaining interviews Xavier thank you again 🤴🏿🇯🇲 for your work Happy New Year and keep us continually informed about our people from our great Island JAMAICA 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👍🏿
Our pleasure!
We hosted a dancehall selector from Vilanova I la Geltrú this time last year. He was blown away...such fun. We even had him on our travel podcast upon his return to Spain.
The Castillos were one of the must see activities that were always happening en la Placa de la Vila on festival dsys.
Thank you and hope to tell the stories on Jamaicans living in every country in the world
@@xmurphy2485 I would love to host you as our guest on The Suite Life Travel Podcast.
So that's where Ana has been!
Loving these interviews.
Yes!😊
This was a special interview, always loved Spain, ladies thank you, I learnt so much about the culture, I can't wait to visit. Much love
Thank you!
Finally Spain...looked forward to this interview and thoroughly enjoyed...As always lovely people that are interviewed with interesting stories.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I love Spain and lived 3 years in Barcelona. I am planning to permanently relocate there for good.
Just finish watching this episode, I can’t get the part about the poop out of my head, I’m visiting Spain in a few weeks and is now freaked out about what to eat there 🤣
I love your interviews. They make the world a little smaller.
Another stellar interview! and very funny and informative!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Love, love, love Spain, maybe because that's the culture I lived in, I love and understand the people.
Another excellent interview.
Thank you!
Definitely the best channel on Jamaica and Jamaicans
I love these interviews! Please keep them coming....
Oh my haven't seen Ana in ages...looking great girl
🙌🏾
Eat. Eat. Eat. And eat some more 😂. I am fascinated with the Spanish culture. Spain is one of my dream country. If it’s God’s will, I will visit there.
Love these interviews. Amazing people. Open minded. One love.
Kiki I would definitely would like to hear you & your family in conversation, with you guys switching language & all.
Yes! Italians knooooow how to cook artichokes! There are so many regional dishes. Yum! ♥️🇮🇹
Oh yes!
A Spanish Woman loving your culture, Im a dancer and singer, and i can say Jamaica is the country, I think We both Spaniards and Jamaicans share a few of similarities,I love Reggae dancehall and other precious things about Jamaica ,
Likkle but Talawah❤
Another amazing interview...love these ladies🥰. Thanks Xavier!
TH-cam recommended this video and the title grabbed me as I went to Spain as an Exchange student with Afs
Interesting show. Re fed we have no problem getting all the Caribbean food wanted.including bread fruit in the U.K. What kind of accent is it that Ana has? I know it isn’t a U.K accent. It definitely sounds Jamaican - but with a difference. It was great to learn from Kiki that some people/musicians from Spain will travel to Jamaica to learn about the music reggae. Spain also has a fantastic Moorish history, remember the Moors were there for roughly 700 years. Thank you 🙏🤠
Loooove it...these discussions are O so beautifully presented.
These are very positive women. Great representatives for Jamaica.
You can use molasses to replace browning for the Christmas black cake
Not touching on how expensive it is in Spain, I held on to my US$s But it’s a great place. Very nice channel. Most of these countries brought back memories.
Thanks for sharing!
Anna, understanding is just the start...it's amazing when you start dreaming in the language..I am open to having a Catalan husband now. When I lived there not so much but now I will take the plunge.
Love this interview! Found the browning comment very funny. My daughter lives in Switzerland and had this same issue. She had to burn sugar😊
Kiki, that's what I remember about being there, the variety of food options, we would go a month without repeating a dish.
ANOTHER VERY INTRESTING INTERVIEW!...JAMAICA MAYBE A "DOT" ON THE MAP, WE
LITTLE BUT WE TALLAWAH!....WE ARE ALL OVER THE WORLD! BIG UP JAMAICA!
Wow... we just found your channel. This is pretty good. Jamaicans are really every where .... lol .... We are truly adventurous. Enjoyed this interview....... #JamiacansInJapan
Food in Barcelona is epic...I found sesso con patatas as an eye opener...
There is an annual reggae festival in Benicassim This is huge and well represented by a lot of Jamaican artists
Ladies take this as a lesson to not limit yourself about what your spouse should look like. If you only want to marry a Jamaican man, you may end up being a spinster and waiting forever. Don’t be afraid to take a chance.
Thank youi
Shouldn't the objective be to marry a good man?
Wow this made us laugh...Big up Jamaicans all over the world
Loved it! Thanks! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview..Both Madrid and Barcelona are beautiful cities. People should try visiting Santiago De Compostela..
Yes! There are so many wonderful places in Spain.
Madrid and Barcelona the most uglies citys if Spain.
My favorite place to live was Seville, Spain. #ProudJamaican
Are you still in Sevilla?
Really great guests!
Thanks ladies I enjoyed this episode. What date is the twins Birthday? Mine is November 17th. Thanks Xavier.
Great video but one thing... you showed the Santiago Bernabeu instead of the Camp Nou. As a cule (a Barca fan) that hurt me because they are our rivals! XD Great informative interview with a lot of personality :)
I love this channel very interesting keep up the good work
Thank you very much!
Those onions, she's describing, look's like spring onions we have here in Britain.
Lovely jubbly. I agree with Kiki regarding our island size. We have big hearts and we're very ambitious and confident. That's why we see our country as 'large'.
Speaking of people 🇯🇲 Jamaicans who have impacted society, Never forget the great civil rights pioneer, Hon Marcus Mosiah Garvey!! At about 25, you talked of outerwear. On my visit to Florence, 🇮🇹 Italy, I also noticed the young people in the Jamaican and Brazilian colours...
BIG up Ardenne alumni...Ana
My Alma Matar ❤
The festival happens in August It’s called Rototom Sunsplash.
Hi Xavier. Thanks for the interview new bee here. What the group call that Kiki and Anna is a part off. I love to link up these sister's up via email WhatsApp f/b looking to travel to Barcelona later in the year. Keep up the good work x
If I had spent an extra yr in college I would have been able to do a semester abroad in Spain...man, I wish I did that 😪. Every episode I watch I want to visit the country 🤣🤣.
WOW ! My beautiful Jamaican sisters...♥️♥️♥️♥️ Jamaicans are soooooo nice👌👍🏽 take great care of yourselves ladies 🤗....Xavier, I believe that you're doing a great job. I love what you're doing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏👏👏
I love Ana's approach to Jamaican Patois as a language on its own. Yes! You are bilingual! Also if you want to learn Jamaican patois please follow my channel!
❤
Kiki have a "proppa" husband man...goes to the market & cooks. Nice!!!!
My two friends live in Red Hills , did sales there too for a year.
Do Jamaicans in Spain socialize with people from Dominican Republic and other Spanish speaking people from the Caribbean Cuba etc?
There are people in Panama 🇵🇦 who are of Jamaican descent.
Yes Kiki, tell the story of the Catalan man.
For me, I was sent to Sardanas because my host father thought that I couldn't live in Catalunya without learning to dance las Sardanas.
Now tell me, what is your favourite spanish dish? I want to try cooking some spanish food but dont want to waste my time if no one has recommended anything to me. Thank you
Looking to move there this year if it pleases the Lord. To say I'm scared would be an understatement but hey..nothing tried nothing gained.
Former Olympian Deone lives in Spain
Jamaica was under Spain from 1494t to 1655 we have history with them.
Kiki, I have fond memories of my time in Pais Basqueo
Mr Murphy,you want talk to a Jamaican living in Senegal west Africa?hit up! Interesting story!
Thanks for reaching out. We did Senegal in March - th-cam.com/video/UaKV_1Z9G8o/w-d-xo.html
This is the Ana Strachan that sings? The Strachan Sisters?
Yes
Kiki look so much like my cousin who is also a Marriott but living in London.
Cajon/ box drum
I would like to know how kiki Marriot got the scholarship, and what was the procedure to apply for the language scholarship
I would like to know more about the host Xavier Murphy, what's your story.
Would definitely be an emotional experience... Just wondering what mother allows their baby to climb that tower. Kiki my assumption is already made, on why they wear helmets.
Xavier, breadfruit is not something the african appreciate.
Barcelona is beautiful.
Regards, Donna
Xavier, I hosently believe that music is a universal language...
Jamaica to di world!
History- Columbus was a Spaniard and an Italian. At 1 time 50% of Jamaica was Spanish Jews and Jamaica was one of the richest country in the world and they also created the banking system.
Of course; you could even say you have repaid the visit made by the Spaniards to Jamaica, in the time of their colonization of Jamaica.
Let's not go there because their legacy in Jamaica is not a good one. But I'm so pleased that they are finding life in Spain so wonderful! Can't wait to visit there one day.
@@themitochondrialeve738 Agreed; much better to look forward!
Ladys and gentlemen I love your show ,hi ann can we get married now won 🥰🇬🇧🇯🇲🖤
Wow! You were introduced to your husband
