- Chinese Jamaicans are Jamaican people of Chinese ancestry, which include descendants of migrants from China to Jamaica. Early migrants came in the 19th century; there was another wave of migration in the 1980s and 1990s. Many of the descendants of early migrants have moved abroad, primarily to Canada and the United States.[3] Most Chinese Jamaicans are Hakka and can trace their origin to the coolies and labourers who came to Jamaica in the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.
That's the Unique thing about Jamaica 🇯🇲. No matter your skin color or your ancestry you're Jamaican. Not indian Jamaican, not Chinese Jamaican or African Jamaican. Just Jamaican.
No you're still all those things and I'm guessing you failed history
When mi look inna mi passport mi NUH SEE Chiney mi see JAMAICAN
@SUB NX Jamaicans are not a race but a nationality, defining it true roots of its motto: outta many, one people! One Luv ❤️!
@@TheTredoc Ahh, I love that concept, but it still is sort of complicated the Caribbean identity. Nationality, Culture, Ethnicity, "Race", Mixed race, Country of origin, Birthplace, Class, Status, Sexe, Sexual orientation... We are a composition of many layers of identities. And then there is being part of a colonized history.
If there is no colorism in Jamaica why are majority black population still at bottom of Jamaica's economy
Such a beautiful story ...the Carribean can teach the world what true unity really is. Just learned about the history of the Hakka earlier today. Much respect!
Back in the 60’s in Jamaica most of the Chinese people set up shops/stores and only employed their own people if you were black Jamaican they wouldn’t employ you, but their place of business were in black neighborhood, that’s when the Rastafarian started to beat and burned down their places and threatened them to hire black people or go back to their country then they started to employ black Jamaican. I was a kid but I remember it well. You probably can look it up.
@@janetlawrence7937now that's messed up from the Chinese but you see theres alot of pure hearted ones too
These are my sons. If you'd like to see them perform live they will be appearing at the Tsung Tsin Summerfest picnic in Markham, Ontario on Aug. 6th between 1-2 PM. They will be having a follow up dinner show in the near future. Don't miss this rare event.
Charlee, Golden Chyld's wife will also be performing.
Hi, wonder if they are still a band now? We would like to get more about their information. Thanks!
You should bring them to Hawaii. They will be surely welcomed here.

Come to Hartford Connecticut for our Reggae Sun Splash festival.
i'm chinese-panamanian and i love learning the history and culture of the chinese-caribbean and chinese-hispanic diaspora. this video brought a smile to my face
I'm chinese from Malaysia. I like Reggae & sports. I wish i was born in Jamaica. Bob Marley, Shelly Anne, Elaine & Usain Bolt are my idols❤💯👍
Malaysia boleh 💙💜❤️
@Blackà Đønz Hmm yes & no. Covid19 has closed many doors. I wd certainly want to stay a few months to mingle with ur people!!!!
Read Byron Lee
Do they have Dancehall clubs in Malaysia?
@@bigtaskat-hand4742 Sure lots of clubs in Malaysia.
i don't think so, if you come to Jamaica, you'll see most Hakkas are so Jamaican they'd be like a fish out of water if they were to go to China. Most Jamaican Chinese have been in Jamaica for over 120yrs, started arriving in the 1840's. Furthermore, most Chinese Jamaicans have either married or mixed with African Jamaicans. In Jamaica we all share the same culture, no matter your ancestry. "OUT OF MANY, ONE" the motto of Jamaica.
“OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE”
Exactly
Out of many.. my son's half Chinese Jamaican
There also Hakka from Mauritius 🇲🇺 a africain country
@@ledukezfn2407
Descendants of indentured Chines laborers, that is what Hakka means.
So true. We, people of color, have always embraced everyone because we look beyond skin and see human.
Especially Caribbean people we know where you are from by your accent not what you look like we are all humans beautiful in our own way
As a Brother I'm with you with this one 100% maybe because we are the original blue print, if you know what I mean. Jah bless.
DYAM LIAD DEM , DEM MIX AFRICANS CHINESE A LIAD , ANTI AFRICAN BASTARDS🕷
That's our down fall duh
Awesome! I am also Hakka, born and raised in Panama of Chinese parents. My great, great grandfather first settled in Jamaica.
In Bocas Del Toro?
Saludos George . I am from Panama as well. But I live overseas . 🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
@@micayahritchie7158 La Chorrera
@@Marilynschannel I'm also overseas. Been in the New Jersey/New York area for many years.
@@GeorgeLouVideo ok thanks. I was if the impression that that's where most descendants of people who migrated from Jamaica lived in Panama. Is that true do you know?
My grandad was a Hakka Jamaican. Rest of my heritage is also Jamaican. But people dont think its enough for me to just say "Im Jamaican" always wanting to know "why I'm not dark". I say "out of many, one people"
There's a lot of ignorance out there. I have known many Jamaicans of Chinese descent and a few Indian and white Jamaicans. I'm black Canadian born to Jamaican parents. Actually, with a bit of mixture on one side. One thing I do know is no matter your race, once Jamaican, always Jamaican. "Out of many, one people."
+N Dillon I'm Mixed Race American, but my father is from Jamaica and he looks very black but I recently learned that his two great-grandfathers David and Thomas, were White Jamaican and Half Jewish/Half Indian. It just goes to show that a persons looks are only a small part of them, Out of Many, One People indeed!
legba eshu It "passes" you off, what the hell does that mean?
We shouldn't be vexed (as we like to say in the Caribbean), but isn't the majority of the English speaking Caribbean African descent? Being multicultural, people would say that I don't look Guyneez!!! Just educate people that for our size, we are the most multiracial/multicultural region in the whole wide world! 😁😉
Infinite Sky,,,,, I can identify with your sentiment, for I would say I'm Jamaican of Afro descent, but whenever my sister did our Ancestry DNA although mostly African ''first and foremost'' a lot of ancestors are of East Indian extract, and also a few Hispanic looking, since my grandmother's family originated from Cuba, but I see myself as black Jamaican, but I've noticed that throughout my life, people of East Indian extract gravitated towards me all the time, two of my girlfriends, including my first, where of Indian extract.
but the most amazing thing was that I once worked downtown Kgn. for some Indians name Sujanani Bros, and man those people where so good to me, they even made a part of their building accessible to me, so I could open my own store, I could say more for it still continue up to this day in the USA. only my eyebrow might look a little indianish, but nothing else as far as I can see, incidentally lots of Jamaican blacks are mixed with Indian to some degree, even that girl with the big Afro who came third in Miss Universe ''Davina Bennett, have some degree of Indian in her, check out all her pictures, especially those without the Afro. my sister was offer sponsorship to enter Miss Jamaica, from some Indians in Mobay called Chandiram, long time ago, but my mother wasn't up for it.
Respectfully I must disagree. Almost none of the Overseas Chinese would return to China, given the chance. For us, there's no need. Yes, China is the land of our ancestors, and it shall always remain as such. It's not our country, nor would it ever be.
There is also. World Hakka Congress- see website.
I love how different cultures come together and make something Cool.😁👍‼️💯
Hakka chinese have influenced and made contributions from malaysia and indonesia to the Caribbean... on a martial arts note my kuntao instructor was a hakka chinese indonesian ...
sir what is kuntao?
they didnt make any contributions in the carribean
Was it maybe Pak Mei Pai aka White Eyebrow style?
The Chinese were also indentured servants in my homeland, Samoa. We have many Chinese-Samoans there too. My own great great grandfather came from Shanghai, China. This is very interesting.
They are Chinese Hakka. They are different kind of chinese
@@muhamadrojer5840 so are the ones in Samoa. My great grandfather ×3 is from China and came to Samoa. He wasn't the first noe the last. That's why many Samoans have Chinese last names such as my family Ah-sue and there's Ah-Kui, Ah-mu, Ah-hing, Ho Ching etc etc..
@@no1specialtoyou789 yeah but we are hakka chinese not Shanghai chinese
@@muhamadrojer5840 I know. We aren't Shanghai Chinese either but we are a mixture of then because they came to my country too.
Hakka Chinese's hometown is in Guangdong province. Also known as Canton. But Hakka Chinese are different from Cantonese. Different language and customs. Shanghai Chinese are called Wu Chinese. They have their own language and customs.
Hakka Chinese came from northern China and went down to Guangdong/Canton province to escape from wars that were ravaging northern China centuries ago.
Because the Hakka were the newcomers in Guangdong province, they are called "Hakka" in Hakkanese or "Khe Jia" in Mandarin. The word means "guest familily".
So yeah, there are many different kinds of Chinese in China, but more than 90% are Han Chinese.
Hakkanese, Cantonese, Fujianese, Sichuanese, etc, are all Han Chinese even though they each have their own languages and customs, but they share a wider culture.
There are also non-Han Chinese like the Mongolian, Manchurians, Uyghurs, Hui, Zhuang, etc.
Hakka Chinese in Jamaica are article Jamaicans. Certified.. Out of many one people 👊🏽👊👊🏼👊🏾👊🏻👊🏿
I'm neither Jamaican or Chinese but love the sound. Sounds wonderful!
I am Hakka too. Hakka means guests. A term from southern chinese to the people migrated from the north. The rich hakka are mostly decendebts from the officials sent from the courts and the peasant hakka mostly escaping from the north because of wars and famine.
Hakka is known as one of Chinese outstanding ethnic groups in China. The late Singaporean prime minister was one of them...
Descendants of indentured Chines laborers, that is what Hakka means. The term “Hakka” is a fabrication of Nationalist China after 1911. And Communist China has been peddling around that Chinazi fabrication.
This is awesome. I had only heard about the Japanese that left Japan for Jamaica . They have even grown locs. After I saw this video, I saw another about a German settlement in Jamaica. It is truly what they call a "melting pot" there. "Out of many, one people". I love it!!! ONE LOVE💘
Nice to see the pics of Momma, brings back memories, thanks for the video.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work reminds me of my own family mix with everything 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Excellent music I hope to see them on youtube and a possible tour here in the United States.
There were many Chinese who left the mainland for a better life. Many of them settled in San Fransisco and New York, and several cities in Canada.
And Hawaii where part of my family came from. My great grandmother is Hawaiian. Many Chinese went there as well from Guangdong Province I think. Maybe Fujian as well?
Any one here could be my relatives, my great grandma from my father’s side was adopted by three Chinese Jamaican sisters. Not sure where they are now but I like to believe that at least one of them went back to Jamaica.
I learnt that we Hakka were the nomads of China, persecuted and oppressed. The name Hakka meant guest people and was used to demean us. Perhaps that is why we identify with the Black man so easily. We work hard, are thrifty and love food.
After the end of slavery, lowly paid and hard working people were needed, and millions came from India and China.
In countries like Mauritius, Indonesia, Jamaica, Panama, Malaysia, Fiji, etc etc still have the descendants of the original migrants but they have normally risen several steps up the social ladder and are often professionals and self employed.
Respect to the Jamaican Chinese dem on the vocal & dj side of things, not enough of unnu around. So, continue mek way fi this "side of Jam" we don't hear from as much musically.
We need more people like you in the world.
Beautiful job guys i like this video more love from the heart
Very proud of our Hakka people . We are with everyone and everythings
.
Jamaica different colour one people Jah bless reggae music 🎵, south Africa
No choose a side. You CANT be all.
Nice vibes getting you loud and clear outer Kenya. Nairobi city near k1 club
Chinese Hakka are everywhere in the world! Myself is Hakka too!
The bands name was Chinatown, though i dont think they make music anymore. I found Steve Lee on Twitter (stage name is Golden Chyld)
Big up out of many we are..Bless
Wonderfully said!
Man,this just blew me away, fellow Hakkanies I am so proud of these boys(Men)
Those brothers were jamming!
Fascinating. 🇯🇲 keep respecting people no matter origins
Why is the Jamaican map upside down? Irie history of reggae and Hakka together... I share the same background too...
Read a book by an Irish author called 'White Cargo' to see how Irish Jamaicans came to be, we share a common heritage of tribulation.
Beautiful music and very touching songs
Interesting! Need to hear more about Chinese Jamaicans
Reggae is the King's music given to all the people of the world. Big up urself to alk Tardy. Go de go de
Love these guys
Anyone know the name of the first song? These guys are tight! I went to Jamaica for my first time a few years ago and there were a lot of Chinese Jamaicans. All very nice people and the locals were calling me "chiney mon"! Can't wait to go back! I need that first song though! Any help will be appreciated
I need it 2
nuff love...knowledge is power
Seriously I want the track, I can't find these guys anywhere
DoLoMyte000 💯
Hakka is actually translated to "The guests" or "Far from home" They are probably the oldest Han ethnic group in China.
I was so surprised to learn that many people were unaware of this heritage. I guess growing up in New York we met all kinds of people who had different cultures so we were more familiar.
you guy's keep up the good work
They are nice, I got to support this! What's the first track?!!!
Out of many one people.
3:07 so their grandmother is mixed black and Chinese.
Why the mixed heritage, you asked, well, when the indentured Chinese men came to Jamaica to replace the Africans who gained their freedom and refuse to work on the plantations etc, Chinese woman didn't accompanied the men, so the men slept with the local females for comfort etc.
Majority of the Chinese men that completed their contract and chose to stay started to stay, start mingling with their young females employees, baby come, end of story.
Si, yes she is Black/African Jamaican and Hakka Chinese mixed.
FYI, not ALL Chinese Jamaicans are Hakka, some are Cantonese, and a few even emigrated from India!
Oh yeah, you've got a point. Thanks
I enjoyed this.
Aww it's a pity people can't learn to live together. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Awesome story awesome group. Yessah
they are cute guys
I have extended Chinese Jamaican family. I need to find them. I only recently found out that they actually existed.
I had often thought that the Chinese in Jamaica were predominately Han. I never heard of Hakka before. Now I'll have to look that information up.
Hakka are a subgroup of the Han and actually Hakka Chinese is a much more ancient Chinese language than Mandarin Chinese. Chinese loanwords used in Japanese and Korean are much more close to Hakka Chinese than to Mandarin Chinese, so the ancient language spoken in ancient China is very similar to Hakka Chinese, which is closer to the ancient chinese language. So Hakka are certainly Han Chinese, probably even more original to the ancient Han Culture.
Omo Omo CocoMomo Same here, my Jamaican grandfather's sister was married to a Chinese man named Ho-Sang but I only found out a year or two ago, they lived in Kingston
hakka were immigrants from northchina mixed with indigenous minority of southchina such as 畲。
Most Chinese Jamaican are Hakka
im Hakka Chinese , but im not from Jamaica lolz
Jamaica is Sweet
wow, that's very inspirational
Cool , Truly out of many one people. The dialect is just one.
They look like my Cambodian-American friends in USA.
Cool story….dem carry a vibe….I recognize the producer as well, that was Bassie fe messenjah
Most Chinese Jamaicans are Hakka; they have a long history in Jamaica. Between 1854 and 1884, nearly 5,000 Hakkas arrived in Jamaica in three major voyages. The Hakkas seized the opportunity to venture into a new land, embracing the local language, customs and culture.
wow their music is amazing
Hakka Chinese may have descendants in East African and Madagascar. Archaeologist have uncovered porcelain pottery in Kenya and a people once suspected to be of direct Arab ancestry on Kenya's coast have revealed some Chinese oral history among their populace. Some much history and anthropology is being rewritten.
Those aren’t Hakka. Those Chinese people came there much much earlier. You see Silk Road/Maritime trade started thousands of years before European conquest which connected Africa to the Far East...You need to stop connecting dots that aren’t there. World history is so much richer than you think if you get off the “theorists” mindset
Also Madagascar or Malagasy people are mixed with Austronesian(South East Asian) not Chinese. I really really recommend you to read real history. Making stuff up won’t get you far...
@@rayovsaan1820 the Indian Ocean trade network is thousands of years old, but those Chinese you are referring arrive in Kenya 900 years ago.
@@ANTSEMUT1 then you need to speak for only Kenyans and take Madagascar out of your claim...Not all Asians are Chinese
@@rayovsaan1820 i didn't make the original claim.
That's interesting MateriaL, backing vocals remind me of the Band 'SteeL PuLse'.
I Like Dat.! X
Im an hakka from indonesia hahah hakka nyin everywhere where its a sun theres an hakka nyin ❤ montreal
Truly blessed, 1 love...... aloha from Jahwaii! westside rastas!

"Steve Lee aka Genghis Khan"
Pretty much sums up this awesome video.
Big Up *Treasure Isle* on Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto 🇨🇦
@risteard01 Irish were as privileged as the other British in the Empire. The map in 1:54 is a Hakka region locates near Hong Kong, where some roads in there named after some Irishmen. ;D Irish and Scottish were the same colonists as English. No offence.
good luck...My great grandfather Hakka married and African. My grandfather also Hakka migrated to Jamaica and married one of the daughter of the marriage i mentioned....their son had a child with my mother(African)...there is no returning...The Chinese population is already a little too big.
hakka Hawaii represent.

Yes ya man Bob Marley he works very hard to make Reggaes Music in the world 🌎 feel right with respect One love ❤️

im thinking chinese jamaican cuisine would be so delicious and rich.
They have a lot of Chinese Jamaican restaurant in New York so look it up and Florida
Big up! ✊🏾👊🏾
The same in my roots country Suriname. Dispite the divide and rule policy of the western colonizers, they could not prevent that the human color and race mix took place.
I am HAKKA also.
