[@audleymclean3724]

Sao Luis,.....An enclave in Brazil plays only reggae, they do every kind of dance to it, it is so amazing to see how people in Countries like Brazil, Costa Rica, D. Republic etc. respect Jamaicans in comparison to our E.S. Caribbean Brethren, I mean it's really, really mind bugling.

[@anwahsal4725]

Does Kristopher-Jon live in Manaus? When Kristopher-Jon speaks of Brazil, his smile so warm and his eyes become almost teary. You know that Brazil is a special place.

[@karleinegraham446]

Mr Samuel represents 🇯🇲 Jamaica and Wolmers High Sch very well. Xavier, I appreciate these videos of Jamaicans competing and pursuing different professions all over the world. Jamaica is more than sports and music, although we thank those sectors for their contribution to the national life.

[@akemisdrealist2287]

That’s the same love Jamaicans have for 🇧🇷 especially the ladies and the football team

[@annettebrown3117]

I visited Brazil some years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The food was great and the people were kind and welcoming, they love Jamaicans.

[@bellainbuenosaires]

I've been to Brazil and loved it. Definitely going back. I think it's a better version of Jamaica. I found a lot of stuff we have in Jamaica there.

[@JP-dq8vq]

[@AbstractDivinity1]

São Luís, Maranhão is the reggae capital of Brazil this gentleman was talking about.

[@wokedream9837]

Wow really

[@AbstractDivinity1]

@@wokedream9837 Yes.

[@renatoezon6352]

Im from the state he was talking about, Maranhão. Reggae became a part of our culture here. There is no consensus about how we came in contact with reggae music. The most accepted theory is that it came in the 80s throught foreigners in the port of the state's capital, São luis. From there , reggae gained a lot space in São Luís and neerby areas. I grew up listening to a lot o reagge in são luis, as anyone who lives here.

[@totalwomanja9105]

Such a refreshing interview! Thank you both for showing up.

[@MA-yh2ko]

I would have loved to ask about how it feels to be in the largest collection of Black people outside the African continent.

[@megganhutchinson1311]

I thought Spanish was Brazil’s official language but it seems to be Portuguese?

[@justcallmebrian793]

It was always Portuguese. LOL However Portuguese and Spanish is similar but obviously different languages

[@karleinegraham446]

The continent of South America was roughly divided between the two Iberian colonial powers of 🇪🇸 Spain and 🇵🇹 Portugal. The Spanish half would break up into various countries like Ecuador, Columbia etc. The Portuguese area held together as 🇧🇷 Brazil. Later other European powers would chip off parts of the Portuguese northern territory on the Caribbean coast. They formed countries of British Guiana now Guyana, Dutch Guyana (Surinam) and French Guiana. Brazil is Portuguese speaking and has the largest black population living outside of Africa.

[@Amidat]

well they are neighbors in Europe and neighbors in brutal colonization

[@richlisola1]

Yeah, wow. Brazilians hate when outsiders make that mistake. Brazil is in your neighborhood. You’d best learn some basics about it. Portuguese is its national language, almost no one speaks Spanish there.
