[@gyaldemgizzada]

Respect to Stonebwoy, it's good to see Jamaica reconnecting and collaborating with African artists but dancehall music did not originate in Ghana. Yes Jamaicans are of West African (not Ghana alone) descent and no doubt many of our talents are derived from our african ancestors, but dancehall music originated in Jamaica, following reggae and ska music, not in West Africa. It is a huge part of Jamaican culture and should be remembered as so.

[@MajorrBison]

I believe you!!!!

[@priscillaataaagyeiwaa5665]

Bro if you understands our history well , reggae music genire comes from high life and and if you know high life is originated from west africa specifically in ghana ,so if you understands our history he's through of that he's saying

[@stylebiabi]

[@milka9164]

@@stylebiabi check on KZbin ghanaian high life singer like Kojo antwi '' Tom and Jerry '' and Nana tuffour '' Diana '' you Can clearly see Roots of reggae ! Very similar i m not ghanaian or jamaican but first I Heard this I was thinking that it was jamaican ! It beautiful to see that a part of Africans heritage/culture is in afro descendant culture !

[@stylebiabi]

@@milka9164 Im Ghanaian actually and I think there is good reason to believe that highlife evolved around the 70's and 80's some of our highlife musicians started to get influenced by the raggae sound because before then our sound did not have any raggae elements in there. That I think expalins why Kojo antwi, Nana tuffour and other's like them seem to have that sound. So I think @priscilla Ataa agyeiwaa might be wrong here. Our highlife sound as far as i know did not influence the Jamaican or generally Caribbean sound.

[@BenitaSFB]

Mark Watson what are we then?

[@priscillaataaagyeiwaa5665]

Yes I agree with you very much, that dancehall is originated from ghana because most of the jamaicans decents came from west africa and whose of us who understands our history well knows that about 90% of the slave ships came from Ghana so it is clear so say that reggea and dancehall is originated from Ghana u are more educated blessed up bro

[@mariosimpson4375]

You sound so ridiculous. So where is the big reggae artist from ghana? I've never heard a reggae artist from ghana from Bob Marley days or buju or Dennis brown days. Educate ur self before you speak.

[@williwonker941]

There's lots of hit music coming from west Africa people. I'm here in Canada and it's popular here. The Jamaican artists need to stop singing about violence and negativity and sing songs that people can relate to and grove to. People play mostly old school reggae because it's cleaner and easy to understand

Well old old Jamaicans speak a dialect called kromante which is name after a town in Ghana. Speak to an elder in Jamaica and you will hear some Akan words in the language. Really him speaking the patois it is like going to France and speaking French. But I do think he should just speak the pidgin which is really like patois anyway it's just broken English.

He doesn't speak Patois. He trying very hard and it's a fail.

Why is he speaking patois instead of talking with a Ghanaian accent. Caribbean/Jamaicans are descendants of Africa he should come in as a proud Ghanaian man with his Authentic accent

[@EjnrTV]

the fact that many say Jamaicans have Ghanaian descendants. But that doesn't apply to every Jamaican. you lot try to generalise everything and thats the problem.Things are not that simple. Some historians say black people as a whole come from Israel and left 70 ad.? there are many speculations and no one knows for sure. You can't mix everyone in one pot. i'm black as fuck (not darkskin but u get me) you wouldn't know that i have indian roots. Everyones family tree is different. We may have similarities but its not the same.

But there are similarities between Jamaicans and Ghanaians i hear patois is spoken other in some parts of Ghana too. We share the same dialect to some extent. There are some words we share with people from Sierra Leone . Are we a part of those people? according to historians No we are not. You can't put everyone is one box.

[@slimthickaz.]

You guys are copying hello? Patois isn't native to Ghana.

[@0k859]

Seirre leone and Nigeria are culturally tied and basically founded what is considered pidgin today in west Africa. Seirre leone had people from Nigeria and Jamaica move there and mix in to the population, that’s why their pidgin is thick and similar to Nigeria. Ghana don’t speak pidgin, they copy Nigerians. Old Ghanaians will admit this but the young ones like stonebwoy just push lies because they want attention.

[@tedinijames7341]

@@0k859 what's this bad energy for

[@jentlejack8468]

Now onto a clear description of the whole dancehall - Ghana affiliation, the genre dancehall isn't and never has it been an indigenous Ghanaian music until one Shatta Wale initiated it properly in Ghana and made it a big hip in the country and as a matter of fact made a big name for himself out of this new genre. As a result of this dancehall upheaval in the industry at that time somewhere in 2013, most of our musicians jumped unto dancehall infused rythmns to make their own music - not necessarily to make dancehall music but obviously because the sound and style seemed like a Jamaican music, one would easily think that it is a Jamaican music but not. I think Winford had it wrong by crediting the dancehall genre to Ghanaians which is no brainer a clear hoax and to make it more clearer, the Jamaican patois or whatever they call it doesn't sound nothing like any of our local dialects here in Ghana. I'm a big fan of Stonebwoy but I think sometimes we shouldn't be blinded to the obvious truth.
