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

How did a relatively unknown military captain become one of the most discussed political figures in modern Africa?In this cinematic documentary, we examines the rise of Ibrahim Traoré, the history of Burkina Faso, and the struggle over sovereignty, security, economic independence, and Africa’s right to determine its own future.Born in the small town of Bondokuy, Traoré began not as a politician or member of a powerful dynasty, but as a geology student and soldier serving during one of the most dangerous periods in Burkina Faso’s modern history. His journey from the front lines to national leadership would eventually place him at the center of an international debate about military governance, Pan-Africanism, foreign influence, institutional strength, and national self-reliance.This documentary explores:* Burkina Faso’s history under French colonial rule* The revolutionary legacy of Thomas Sankara* The security crisis that destabilized the Sahel* Ibrahim Traoré’s childhood, education, and military service* The political upheaval of 2022* His rise from army captain to head of state* Burkina Faso’s changing relationship with France* The Alliance of Sahel States* Gold, agriculture, infrastructure, and economic sovereignty* The difference between revolutionary promises and lasting results* Why millions across Africa and the diaspora are watching his leadershipTo his supporters, Ibrahim Traoré represents a new generation determined to reclaim African sovereignty and build stronger, more independent nations. To his critics, his leadership raises serious questions about military rule, democratic institutions, transparency, and whether bold rhetoric can produce durable national progress.Marquett Burton approaches the story through the lens of history, leadership, civilization, and institution building—asking not merely what Traoré intends, but what must ultimately change for Burkina Faso’s transformation to endure.Because history does not judge leaders by applause alone.It asks:Did the people become safer?Did institutions become stronger?Did opportunity expand?Did the nation become more resilient?The final chapter of Ibrahim Traoré’s story has not yet been written.Continue the ConversationThis documentary connects to the principles explored in The Black Code, Marquett Burton’s educational framework examining leadership, economics, discipline, institution building, civilization, and Pan-African thought.Explore The Black Code Classroom at:SKOOL.COM/Marquett/ClassroomGreat civilizations are not built by spectators. They are built by disciplined students of history, principled leaders, and communities prepared to transform ideas into action.Do you believe Ibrahim Traoré can create lasting transformation in Burkina Faso, or will history judge his leadership differently?
