Hello Cocoboy. Great Insiste into the Marroon culture. Here is what I found about the Sankofa (pronounced SAHN-koh-fah) is a word in the Twi language of Ghana meaning “to retrieve" (literally "go back and get"; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take) and also refers to the Bono Adinkra symbol represented either with a stylized heart shape or by a bird with its head turned backwards while its feet face forward carrying a precious egg in its mouth. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates as: "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten."
It appears that Salema wanted to take a taxi due to her busy schedule for the day. She mentioned that she had to show you around in just 2 hours because she had to babysit. In such a situation, it would have been considerate to ask her if she had the time to wait for a bus with you before assuming that she was available. This situation reminded me of your Kamila's Kitchen video when you arrived ahead of schedule, and she appeared unprepared and busy. Being mindful of other people's time is important, and it would have been a thoughtful gesture. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the video.
Exactly he was a bit. I want the bus i wabr the bus all about him as you mentioned she needed to babysit. Yeah ask her if she had time to stop. Instead of demanding roughly i want the bus like some order .
Co cò boy watching from the time back when you help the young lady with children open a small business then she buy chair for the village you are amazing for Barbados 🇧🇧
Omg, I grew up in that area of Portland, a few districts further away in the hills and we never pay any attention to the fact that Charles Town is a community separate and apart from the surrounding communities. The maroon descendants need to have a stronger representation in the region, so every adult and child is aware of its history. From here in the diaspora, it's nice to see that my childhood community is featured.
Sankofa is a Ghanaian word. It means ‘go back and get’. The maroons were mainly from GH. They were transported to Jamaica to be enslaved but they escaped and formed settlements in the mountains.
Maroons came with Jews in 1494. They are ancient moors. I have the historical records in a very expensive book. I can give it to you coco boy. The English came to Jamaica with slave in the late 1600s-1838. Maroons were never slaves or escaped slaves. They were in Jamaica before.
Such a lovely video, I'm really enjoying watching every single moment in this amazing video, sorry that those two lovely people were confusing you about Jelly, they should just simply say coconut water, or if they wants to say Jelly coconut water, but they kept on saying Jelly water only, and therefore how can they expect someone who's not Jamaican to know that its coconut water if they don't mention the word coconut. 💕 loved it overall, such a pristine and beautiful place.🎉
I cannot believe that those two people don't know coconut water. The local term is jelly coconut because it is picked while still green and has a jel like flesh when cut open .
Whats a boy have to do to catch a bus !😂that girl is joking thats a black taxi but yeah that village looks beautyful Wow Jamaica is so green im realy glad for you coco boy living the dream bro .stay safe Shalom ❤🙌
Greetings coco boy yes the Maroons have a lot of story from names like nanny, Kojo, accompong, Taki the 549 to Nova Scotia vento Sierra Leone lots of interesting stories from the different maroon Communities across the cockpit country so research it a little bit you find out about the war the first war from 1728 to 1739 / 40 and the second war in 1795 yes just research it amazing stories yeah the Maroons are the originator's of the camouflage
Years ago while in Sierra Leone I was amazed to see a church of the maroons in Freetown. So there’s a community of maroons there as well. Our Jamaican history is so interesting🇯🇲
Coco boy, you're very cool, first time watching you. I was actually watching kish, and you were in his video in Portland and then your video pop up after. I'm a Jamaican, welcome to Jamaica, you are showing me places I have never being in Jamaica. Sorry you did not get your bus ride. Please do cook the ackee before you eat it. The river water, I would never drink, that is why our motto is out of many one people. Meaning one Jamaica, many different people in it, 14 Parishes, and all 14 are unique in it's own way. Some have different living than some, but yet it's one Jamaican.
Haven't seen Salema in so long. 😲Doubt she remembers me, since we only met a few times, but it's so nice to see her, just out of the blue as I find myself binge watching these vids for the first time tonight. 😄
Hi Coco boy, it's good to see you in Portland. That Parish is quite green, fruitful, and has spectacular mountain view. The Jelly water is the same as water from the young coconut. After you drink the water from the coconut, you can chop open the coconut and scrape out the white part of the coconut which is jelly-like because the coconut is young.
In 1739-1740, the British government signed a treaty with the maroons because they realised that they couldn't defeat them, they are not indegenious to Jamaica, the Spanish took west Africans to Jamaica from the Iberian peninsula, so the first africans were in Jamaica from the 15th century, they ran into the mountains when the English invaded in 1655, during the fighting they ran away, the Spaniards called them cimmarons, meaning,"wild", there are maroons in almost all other Carribbean 🏝️, and places in central America, but Man, when you are in Jamaica, and you look around and you see the blue skies, you believe you are in paradise, you can feel life is in you,no chains ⛓️ can hold you, your flesh cries out for FREEDOM, you have to be free and feel free
Get your point. Great. It goes to show that history or his-story never goes straight. There is typically no one left behind to tell the real or true story. It's very difficult. Even translation causes problems. Never straight.
@@eddietee6305he still hiding a part of it .. a part of their freedom is to gave up their own brother, who was also fighting for their freedom.. (There was bloodshed of their brothers for freedom)🙌😔😔
Yow coco boy gwaan on the transport man go see and experience the beauty of marroons our 24:24 culture and history fulljoy and stop complaining about the bus the buses do take longer go with the flow and i get it u want to experience the bigger buses and u will big up be safe.
The Maroons were the originators of camouflage amongst the bushes they rap vines around themself so they look like the bush a bit like predators they blend in!! Unlike the British soldiers they dress in red easily to spot but could not see the Maroons because of the camouflage
I wish these Vloggers/Bloggers will do some research before they go these countries. Jamaica is an English speaking country and we have a dialect called patois. The little boy speaks English because that is native to the country.
@COCOBOY369 English is Jamaica's native language. Don't be asking any Jamaican where or how he or she learned to speak English. We may choose to speak our patios, but English is the official language. Please don't get it twisted.
Coco Boy....the Bus is not the ones u are Use to...it takes long to come and ir takes long to load.....u can get to have rhe Bus experience going other Places but going to Maroon Town you have to take to Taxi. The fair is not expensive if thats what u running from...😂😂😂
Why are you surprise that Jamaica is so green, it is in the Caribbean and the Caribbean is in the tropics as a matter of fact all the island are very Green.
I am Jamaican lol. I'm half sephardic jewish. can you visit the synagogue in Duke street Kingston. Jewish cemetery is in Falmouth Jamaica also. Jews have been in Jamaica since 1494 by the way. Also If you know the youtuber coco girl, tell her to get to Jamaica. @@COCOBOY369
@@COCOBOY369 Your statement is totally wrong! Some of the Maroons are mix with Awarak/Taino who where the indigenous people of Jamaica. Most of people who are part of the Maroons community are not mix with Awaraks nor the Tainos and should not be lumped in as indigenous.
@@COCOBOY369 the only indigenous people of Jamaica are the Tainos, Arawak and Caribs! Everybody else came to Jamaica. the Tainos, Arawak and Caribs are the first people!
I was like what, you pointing on the tall tree over there and can't tell him it's coconut tree. Jelly is the young part of the coconut you eat. It's coconut water.
They were a sell out. CoCo Boy go back and research the history of the Maroons, from Jamaican historian scholars. She is only regurgitating the story she was told. You will find it very interesting . A beautiful and talented sister though.
The maroons joined the British and successfully, defeated the Spaniards Jamaica kicking them off of island and some maroons turned on each other. There’s been cases where maroons returned run away slaves back to their slave masters and wanted criminals such as Paul Bogle, a national hero to authorities. The maroons are a joke. Best travel to Suriname 🇸🇷. They’ve good maroons who work together and not back stab each other.
@chatteachattea I never once said the Jamaican maroons were good. Take your time reading my posts. Jamaican maroons are cut throat and it’s been well documented. I’m not one of those Jamaicans who sugarcoat statements to fit my narrative. My opinion is if the maroons worked as a collective by putting their differences aside Jamaica would’ve been an independent nation way before Haiti.
Many of the slaves would go into maroon villages as spies; they could not be trusted. And many preferred to remain in slavery and not take flight away from the plantation...
The origins of the Maroons date back to 1655 around the time when Tainos and Africans who were freed by the Spanish took to remote parts of the island for refuge from the English invasion and to establish settlements. So Maroons were captured by the Spanish in Africa, many as soon as they arrived escaped enslavement, or escaped when the Spanish were expelled from the Island, but undoubtedly they were here before the British because the Spanish brought them here as SLAVES. Maroons are not East African, they are West Central African.
The term maroon was coined by the Spanish which means 'wild cow', so it was a name attributed to slaves and has no bearing on their origins. The slaves captured by the Spanish were from many different places in Africa and many escaped slaves settled in a place called Juan De Bolas in St Catherine which was named after a Spanish captain. When the British fought off the Spanish, they brought Coromantee slaves. These slaves joined with other free slaves but they spoke several different languages, so they tried to get them all to speak Coramantee and they all continued to fight until the Treaty. The Treaty meant that they agreed not only to not help any runaway slaves or lead any further rebellion, but in return for the land, they would also return runaway slaves and in exchange receive a pig. In the end they supported the slave masters against their fellow slaves. There is no place in Africa called 'Maroon' so I always wonder why they do not adopt their own name, their original tribal names as opposed to proudly bearing that name that the oppressor gave them. It is not only the people who call themselves 'Maroons' who have ancestors who were runaway slaves or fought slave masters. Even the Taino's who are the real indigenous people of Xaymaica fought against the Spanish slavemasters, some of them even choosing to commit suicide rather than be enslaved. The history of resistance is the history of Jamaica, not just those who call themselves 'Maroons'. All Jamaican's of African or Taino descent have ancestors who fought against slavery, burnt down plantations and escaped their enslavers. When we look at the whole truth, we all have a history to be proud of and this should be something which unites and not divides us.
That’s is a Jamaican bus, you have all different types, where your staying in Portland, you cannot get the authentic Portland country experience, you need to go to places like Swift River ,Bybrook which is in Portland,
Beautiful Portland, place of my birth and of maroons. Nice nice people natural vibes. Big up Port Antonio. Love you ❤️😘

Love your vibe Coco boy ,sooo true, our history is fake ,totally agree ! Question everything

Hello Cocoboy. Great Insiste into the Marroon culture.
Here is what I found about the Sankofa (pronounced SAHN-koh-fah) is a word in the Twi language of Ghana meaning “to retrieve" (literally "go back and get"; san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take) and also refers to the Bono Adinkra symbol represented either with a stylized heart shape or by a bird with its head turned backwards while its feet face forward carrying a precious egg in its mouth. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates as: "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten."
Good job Coco boy,nice interview.keep up the god job.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos bro
Beautiful place, great video coco boy. You wanted a bus real bad.
she is so pretty black sure is beautiful.
Young coconut before it is fit is called jelly in jamaica
It appears that Salema wanted to take a taxi due to her busy schedule for the day. She mentioned that she had to show you around in just 2 hours because she had to babysit. In such a situation, it would have been considerate to ask her if she had the time to wait for a bus with you before assuming that she was available. This situation reminded me of your Kamila's Kitchen video when you arrived ahead of schedule, and she appeared unprepared and busy. Being mindful of other people's time is important, and it would have been a thoughtful gesture. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the video.
Exactly my thoughts, so inconsiderate of him, thinking only about himself, I was uncomfortable watching this situation, he treat her like nothing.
Exactly he was a bit. I want the bus i wabr the bus all about him as you mentioned she needed to babysit. Yeah ask her if she had time to stop. Instead of demanding roughly i want the bus like some order .
Take the bus another day .get a grip
He was being cheap and pushy
