Kumina is one of Jamaica's most powerful and least understood African-derived traditions — a religion, a music form, and a way of speaking to the ancestors that has survived nearly 200 years. In this video, we trace Kumina's true origin story, break down the music and movement behind the ceremony, and take you inside the annual Rebirthday ceremony held in Fairy Hill, Portland — an all-night ritual of drumming, dance, and ancestral connection that most Jamaicans have never witnessed firsthand.
Unlike many Afro-Jamaican traditions, Kumina was not brought to Jamaica through slavery. It arrived after emancipation, carried by free Kongo people from Central Africa who came to Jamaica as indentured laborers in the 1840s–1860s. What they brought with them — the drumming, the language, the belief system — remains almost entirely intact today, still practiced in communities across St. Thomas, Portland, St. Mary, and St. Catherine.
In this video you'll learn:
🥁 The real origin of Kumina and its connection to the Kongo Kingdom
🥁 How the bandu and playing kyas drums carry Kumina's rhythm and history
🥁 Why one of Kumina's drums was disguised as a rum cask
🥁 What "myal" possession means within the ceremony
🥁 What happens during the Rebirthday ceremony in Fairy Hill, Portland
🥁 How Kumina shaped Nyabinghi drumming and modern reggae and dancehall

One Love Jamaica

A king’s crown is only as secure as his subjects' obedience.
When a legendary force threatens to disrupt the ancient balance of power, the royal palace is plunged into a desperate conspiracy. To preserve his earthly reign, the sovereign must make a devastating bargain. Step into the shadows of a royal conspiracy where a blood pact is sealed in silence.
