- Jamaican Jankunu (John Canoe) dance along the Port Maria main road in St Mary, Jamaica.
Jankunu has other variations in spelling such as 'Junkanoo', 'Jonkonnu' (called John Canoe by the British) is a band of masqueraders (typically referred to as ‘muskorate’ meaning ‘masquerade’) which usually perform in towns and villages at Christmas time.
There are still uncertainties regarding the origins of the name 'John Canoe', however some are of the opinion that the name is derived from the French word 'inconnu'. 'Inconnu' means 'unknown' and would point to the essential feature of wearing of masks during the John Canoe proceedings. Jamaican Jonkonnu Dance Festival is very popular in St Mary, Portland, Westmoreland and St Thomas.

@Judy Namaina You are welcome
I LOVE j
You have really exposed me to places in JA other than Kingston. Next time I visit i will make it a priority to visit St Mary😁😊
Ok 😁😊 Great!
This makes me happy but we also need to honor the Tainos and so much more of our hidden culture they try to stifle
Don't talk such rubbish. Jonkunnu is totally Igbo. The rhythm and movement are identical. Absolutely nothing to do with Taino.... Only an idiot will fail to see its west African origins
@@melanatedqueenelle6748 Well said my dear sister... These people are totally brainwashed. They cannot see the obvious truth.
@@melanatedqueenelle6748 What is the name of the Igbo festival this comes from? I read it was from Ghana but the story has too many holes, looking for better answers. Also what is John Kenu's African name? I can understand if colonists fail to record an original name but some Africans in the region should know.
What part a ja yu come from?? Just curious
Them come Stewart town to lol
These same ones?
InJamaica yeah lol today I have videos of them dancing too they leave like about 30 minutes ago I think
lol ok I haven't seen them in years. Need to turn into Stewart Town one day.
