Love to Africa and the Caribbean to the world!!! ❤💛💚🇸🇳🇪🇹🇯🇲🇳🇬
This was an amazing video. I'm so tired of all the fake superficial things of society. This video makes me want to take my following Jesus to the next level and become Rasta. I was born on earth day and have always felt such a strong connection to nature. I want this in my life.
Thank you for sharing a special community of Jamaica. I growing up as a Rastafarian was touching. Your content educates people on this religion and not just 🍃alone. So much more to it. I wish ‘Arab’ guy could recognize he was in a sacred space, that isn’t often shared with the public. The vulgar jokes, and cursing reflects he didn’t prepare himself to enter that realm. Hopefully upon his next return he will enter any spiritual place with more humility, respect and grace. Thanks again for sharing Tayo ♥️💚💛
The part where the lady said, their way of life is a practice and preparation for how they will live when they return to the motherland, that hit differently ... gosh!!!....i don't know how to feel since after watching this video, i could feel the connection and spirituality from my screen.....
I felt it too. But I had to pause and laugh because Africans aren't that traditional anymore Westernisation and Religion has taken everything from us 😂
@@godsdelightaguWesternization and Abrahamic/Ibrahamic religions to be accurate. We Africans already had and still have our own very sophisticated religions woven into our cultures that were and are quite magnificent. They are certainly as good or even better than the Christian/Islamic/Hebraic stuff that’s been arrogantly injected into our cultures. And we are the worse for the injections.
as a fellow jamaican,this was the best interview i’ve seen about our native rastas,i hope they can get alota support from the tourist when they visit,love from st ann,jamaica🇯🇲🔥
This is the first video of Tayo’s I have seen and the quality and the way he has multiple shots and a voice over, it makes watching this video feel educational and engaging! I have always been interested in the Rastafarian religion! Absolutely love the country and the way you’re allowed to live and love in the communities that you want in the mountains! Incredible! I believe you said you’re from Nigeria! You will be a national treasure and deserve the world young man! Pat on the back for you! JAH RASTAFARI ❤
What a FANTASTIC video! I literally paused the Nollywood film I was watching, to watch this. Loved this so much. I enjoyed seeing & hearing their views on the world, what being a Rasta is/means to them, and seeing their way of life. Ambesa is cute too!
“I wanted to find out more about the Rastafari but I came out with more questions about myself”💕You live true to your name - you are bringing joy to the world & connect us all, Tayo - you are a blessing
It's ironic that they are getting in sync with the Earth in order to "return" back home but Africans are moving away from being in sync with nature. Great job as always, Tayo.
bro i always wish they can come back home use rastafari as a way of life and get rid of these religions that separate us blessed up rastas all over the world
I’m so proud of you tayo,I’ve been following your documentaries back then when you were more of properties and real estate cuz I’m a big fan of real estate,I must commend your consistency and how you’ve been able to evolve and diversif …… I’m super duper proud of you bro 🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽
Tayo, thanks for showcasing Rastas in a positive light. The stuck up Jamaicans always give them a bad rap instead of elevating them. I grew up amongst Rastas and it was the greatest thing ever. I still eat as close to Ital as possible.
Rastafari always been the highest of the high! Earthly, phenomenal intellect and spirituality… Kings of Kings! Conquering lion of the tribe of Judah! True Thanks for all that have graced my path and taught me.
Thanks Tayo for bringing us another fresh perspective of the rasta community in Jamaica 🇯🇲. I'm not a rasta but I 've always loved them, I have a brother who is. They are highly spiritual, they love nature and want it in tact. They understand their African connections and hope to one day set their feet on the continent they were once pulled out from. I hope to visit and enjoy this off grid life. I paused when they took you to their worship place, you got to be careful with that, it's not for everyone, what they do there is capable of taking them into a spiritual reams, very deep.
Tayo is a fantastic storyteller. One of the best in Africa. I have a few friends who are Rastafarian and sometimes attend their celebrations. I respect the lifestyle and have learnt alot from them...
I rarely comment on RUclips videos but this video is special. It is educative and entertaining at the same time. Jamaica is indeed a beautiful country. It is rich in people, history, and culture. Thank you, Tayo. You are a gem!
Thanks for bringing us our brothers in Jamaica closer. Hopefully my African brothers ina Afrique will understand that this our brothers and sisters that are scattered all over the world are waiting for African unification, so they can come and reconnect better with us in the mama land. Thanks Tayo. Africa unite
I love how you were respectful and didn't try to mock our accent unlike the other person you went to the village with. Thank you for showing jamaica is a good lite.,
the last thing any Nigerian will do is to mock anyones accent , we have 525 native languages in Nigeria and each tribe has a sligtly or completely different accent when speaking english
As a jamaican i can tell you rastas are some of if not the best people on earth and we should just call there hair locs cut out the dread part one love jamaica mama africa
I am grateful for your introduction to Rastafari and its way of life! Expressions like "we are one" or "plants, animals, your sisters and brothers!" resonated with me, reminding me of my connection to everything .Thank you so much🙏
Absolutely inspiring to see the Rastafari way of life in action-a true reflection of living in harmony with nature. The philosophy they embody resonates deeply with Shaiva values: simplicity, unity with the Earth, and the belief in the sacredness of all beings. Dreadlocks, seen in both Rasta and Shaiva traditions, represent a deeper connection to nature, while natural herbs like cannabis are honored as plants of wisdom. In a world consumed by capitalism, it’s refreshing to see a community so committed to sustainable living, spiritual growth, and freedom from material excess. Much respect to these timeless values!
This video made me yearn to be one with them, to be there. Their respect for their wimen is top notch next level and I love this culture even more for that. These BM are kings ❤
And yet another Beautiful video I truly LEARN so much I didn't know about Us in this Human race of GOD PEOPLE I LOVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT EXPOSED IN YOUR CONTENT... ABSOLUTELY TRUTH NOT A SHOWCASE THE REAL DEAL... PROUD OF YOU..Tayo Aina
Wow this video is really amazing , l also learn a from from Rasta people, simple and honest life, the don't care about money, what the they cherish most is peace of mind, thank you Tayo for the great video, keep it up brother
Thanks for changing the title ❤, as an African brother you should’ve known better but everyone learns. The good thing is that you changed the title. Peace and love 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
After watching this, I feel like the Rastafarian way of life is how we all should live on this earth. It means respecting and loving everyone because we are all from one God/Source. Even the Bible says, 'My Father and I are one. 🙏🏾Big up Tayo for your amazing work 🫶🏾
One love my brothers and sisters. When you take it you must put it back. That's the word to Babylon, they should bring my people back before Jah fire start to burn.🇬🇭🦁
Iam a Christian but with a strong rastafarian attachment.My house all decorated with rastafarian flags and also have many matching head gears and t-shirts about rasta beliefs..As Morgan heritage sung, "you don't gotta be dreaded to be a rasta,it is the divine conception of the heart".Old school raggae is real food for my soul..Jah bless you all brothers and sisters.
@StrongnBeautiful I am Christian but I admire the rastafarian philosophy.More so Jesus is a strong figure in rastafarian faith and they also follow Biblical scriptures only that they transcribe them to fit their rastafarian doctrine.There is nothing wrong being a Christian and loving the rastafarian culture
As a Nigerian teen,my parents are always asking why I enjoy watching Tayo Aina and his colleagues videos😂 I prefer watching your videos to films,and hope one day to become a realtor.I love all your travel and tour videos❤ Your videos are top notch,I even forget to skip ads😅
I watched this five times now thank you so much for this movie. Small series call it what you want but this is life to me bringing it to the fortront of the first world so we can continue to show the truth as to why we fight. Jah!
For me this, together with a video you did in Namibia has been the most inspiring, entertaining and enjoyable videos of your channel! I admire the lives of rastafarians who live like this community. It's a desire of mine, that along this conscious path, that we all find our individual soul nations. Namaste 💜
there r also combsome Rasta who most wudn know r Rasta because they don't look like the stereotype, but claim in heart n testify with tongue tht His Imperial Majesty King, Rasta Tafari Hailey Selassie(MPUH) is King of earthly Kings n a Prophet of GOD. i was rcially profiled many times n because i was Blessed to be raised around Rasta i hail up people who have dreads, the amount of rcism i get in return from follow fashion hairstyles.............Praise GOD i know Real Rasta. evn His Imperial Majesty was combsome n never had dreads. Love n Blessings Family!!!
I don't agree with you calling Rastafari strange. Rastas have always been way ahead of time in terms of health and lifestyle. Now everybody into ital. Nothing strange about that
Yeah his choice of language is a little questionable at times. Not always neutral especially when people let you into their life… Maybe Jamaica will bless him with a touch more consciousness.
NOT ONLY HEALTHY ITAL EATING....BUT THE DECLARATION THAT GANJA IS THE HEALING OF THE NATION.....AFTER COUNTLESS PERSECUTION FROM THE SYSTEM. TODAY ...THE WORLD IS SELIING MEDICINAL MARIJUANA.....AND PEOPLE ARE BEING CURED. RASTA SAID IT ...AND SUFFERED DISCRIMINATION, BRUTALITY FOR USING GANJA. TODAY....BABYLON IS MAKING MILLIONS ON THE HERB
@@Abbaschosenonewere the jacobites tribe of judah from the kingdoms in ireland before cromwell shipped us out that the mysterious part! Ras-tafari was haile sellasies full name he's not who they thought he was so now calling that name is idol man worship the pictures and statues....graven images...people don't see his relationship with the wicked queen?... So if they call themselves after his name that's worshipping a man that wasn't their people (tribes) to begin he clearly looks like he's a kushite to me...look at the land in Jamaica thank God for that not a foreigner we have our own original culture before rasta which involves all of what you see them doing here

Jamaican people are kinda easy to start a random conversation with, too nice and and welcoming, love from northern Nigeria ❤ Edit: FIRE BURN BABYLON 😅 Tayo:cheers Raster: throne 😎
@Harvesta Yes! 100%! This is what I love the most about living in Jamaica. But I have to admit that Jamaican men are the very best at conversation with strangers. Jamaican women in general are more reserved, especially with strangers.
Can I just say how much I appreciated this video? You dispelled SO many misconceptions I had within literally 4 minutes. I didn't even know that they were a minority in Jamaica and stay away from mainstream culture. I've been living in the west for too long coz honestly - I used to assume most people there were rastafarians. Also, I was cracking uppppppp when she was teaching you how to say "fire upon babylon" - specially when she told you to find your african accent. It was hilarious. Anyway, honestly great video. Thank you for educating me!
@@nmg1909Put your arrogance aside. Most Rasta's are Pan-Africans. The ideology is what will eventually free Africa from Western domination and will help to rebuild our continent with the vast wealth that is beneath the soil of our motherland. ONE LOVE!
Can I correct you Beloved Rastafarian ism is not a religion but a way of life in accordance with the natural laws and original Universal laws. Please stop saying Rasta is religion❤
You know, I'm so happy to hear you say this because I KNOW the reason why I felt spiritually guided to wear my hair as lox (my antennas), and although I try to live my life in a more nature-oriented rhythm (like some rastafarians) I simply do not practice any form of (systematic) religion of any kind, so I do not call myself a rastafarian.💜
🤔 depends on who you ask I guess. Rastafari, sometimes called Rastafarianism, is an Abrahamic religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s. It is classified as both a new religious movement and a social movement by scholars of religion. There is no central authority in control of the movement and much diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as Rastafari, Rastafarians, or Rastas.

@@worldgonemad1152that’s a the wiki and AI definition. But, no Rasta will say it is a religion and that should be respected. I live in the other Jamaica. 😂 Brooklyn, NY. My ex-hubby is a Rasta and even though they have influences from Ethiopia’s Coptic Tewahedo Religion which may predate Christianity (I am pretty convinced but that doesn’t make it factual). It’s still disputed, but they have good reasons to not consider this a religion. I understand how the world classifies it, but much like all else, folks should be allowed to self-identify and determine their own classification. I understand why it isn’t a religion. But, I also understand why the rest of us are so gung-ho on labeling things and it needs to stop.
Rigion are. More or less cultist. This living is a humanist Spiritual movement tha attracts all pure in heart. Can't join Rastafari or be a memnber. It's a spiritual calling. Muslim Buddhist Gnostic Hindu Christianetc. Rastafari is like the ocean , it never calls you,but whoever fells the need to enter it's their free will. Not s Religion.not weed smokers etc. curators or creation.

I wish ‘Arab’ guy could recognize he was in a sacred space, that isn’t often shared with the public. The vulgar jokes, and cursing reflects he didn’t prepare himself to enter that realm.
Hopefully upon his next return he will enter any spiritual place with more humility, respect and grace.
Thanks again for sharing Tayo ♥️💚💛
Well said! I thought the same thing. You said it better than I could.
Arab is a fool
@@kuyahkudey3217 Ditto
Especially when he said "Bend Over" like yoooo they don't play over here with that
@@issalj2661 as a pseudo-journalist/vlogger did he do any research? 🤦🏽♀️
Love, Honor and Respect to all the Rastafarians because are the smartest people on the planet. Yes, extremely happy that they are there to help us.
The part where the lady said, their way of life is a practice and preparation for how they will live when they return to the motherland, that hit differently ... gosh!!!....i don't know how to feel since after watching this video, i could feel the connection and spirituality from my screen.....
I felt it too.
But I had to pause and laugh because Africans aren't that traditional anymore
Westernisation and Religion has taken everything from us 😂
@@godsdelightaguWesternization and Abrahamic/Ibrahamic religions to be accurate. We Africans already had and still have our own very sophisticated religions woven into our cultures that were and are quite magnificent. They are certainly as good or even better than the Christian/Islamic/Hebraic stuff that’s been arrogantly injected into our cultures. And we are the worse for the injections.
as a fellow jamaican,this was the best interview i’ve seen about our native rastas,i hope they can get alota support from the tourist when they visit,love from st ann,jamaica🇯🇲🔥
Facts
I love Jamaicans ❤️ without reason
One love. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
@alphonsusuchichi
Nuff love from Jamaica.😊
Yo you just said my mind
Jamaica loves u right back..❤
Because they are you same blood and race. They were taking from us😢😢😢
This is the first video of Tayo’s I have seen and the quality and the way he has multiple shots and a voice over, it makes watching this video feel educational and engaging! I have always been interested in the Rastafarian religion! Absolutely love the country and the way you’re allowed to live and love in the communities that you want in the mountains! Incredible! I believe you said you’re from Nigeria! You will be a national treasure and deserve the world young man! Pat on the back for you! JAH RASTAFARI ❤
What a FANTASTIC video! I literally paused the Nollywood film I was watching, to watch this. Loved this so much. I enjoyed seeing & hearing their views on the world, what being a Rasta is/means to them, and seeing their way of life. Ambesa is cute too!
“I wanted to find out more about the Rastafari but I came out with more questions about myself”💕You live true to your name - you are bringing joy to the world & connect us all, Tayo - you are a blessing
It's ironic that they are getting in sync with the Earth in order to "return" back home but Africans are moving away from being in sync with nature. Great job as always, Tayo.
This is the comment. God save Africa. Politics is about to drain her.
Exactly the comment I made 😂
Africans are now westernised 😅
When they come to Africa, they'll be so disappointed 😞
Our home is Ethiopia. They have not changed, but understood.
What a comment
bro i always wish they can come back home use rastafari as a way of life and get rid of these religions that separate us blessed up rastas all over the world
I’m so proud of you tayo,I’ve been following your documentaries back then when you were more of properties and real estate cuz I’m a big fan of real estate,I must commend your consistency and how you’ve been able to evolve and diversif …… I’m super duper proud of you bro 🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽
Tayo, thanks for showcasing Rastas in a positive light. The stuck up Jamaicans always give them a bad rap instead of elevating them. I grew up amongst Rastas and it was the greatest thing ever. I still eat as close to Ital as possible.
RASTAS ain't perfect and they can be very contradicting and narcissist at the same time.None da less good video
Well Jamaicans probably know more about them. Its enough to grow up around westernised Rastas but Jamaicans from yaad know weh dem a talk bout.
Rastafari always been the highest of the high! Earthly, phenomenal intellect and spirituality… Kings of Kings! Conquering lion of the tribe of Judah! True Thanks for all that have graced my path and taught me.
One love from irie Jamaica. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲♥️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks Tayo for bringing us another fresh perspective of the rasta community in Jamaica 🇯🇲. I'm not a rasta but I 've always loved them, I have a brother who is. They are highly spiritual, they love nature and want it in tact. They understand their African connections and hope to one day set their feet on the continent they were once pulled out from. I hope to visit and enjoy this off grid life. I paused when they took you to their worship place, you got to be careful with that, it's not for everyone, what they do there is capable of taking them into a spiritual reams, very deep.
I don't understand, what's stopping them?? 🤔
Tayo is a fantastic storyteller. One of the best in Africa. I have a few friends who are Rastafarian and sometimes attend their celebrations. I respect the lifestyle and have learnt alot from them...
Got a deeper meaning to life. Love the part where he said "... everything deserves to live"
Thanks Tayo. I appreciate you ❤️
I rarely comment on RUclips videos but this video is special. It is educative and entertaining at the same time.
Jamaica is indeed a beautiful country. It is rich in people, history, and culture.
Thank you, Tayo. You are a gem!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for bringing us our brothers in Jamaica closer.
Hopefully my African brothers ina Afrique will understand that this our brothers and sisters that are scattered all over the world are waiting for African unification, so they can come and reconnect better with us in the mama land.
Thanks Tayo.
Africa unite
I love how you were respectful and didn't try to mock our accent unlike the other person you went to the village with. Thank you for showing jamaica is a good lite.,
the last thing any Nigerian will do is to mock anyones accent , we have 525 native languages in Nigeria and each tribe has a sligtly or completely different accent when speaking english
@@victorozurumba2300I feel this deep connection with Nigeria🇳🇬 and Ghana🇬🇭...I swear I must see these places in this life...much love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I am surprised they let the other guy in
He was so excited to be on camera, he started clowning. How you gonna tell a man to bend over in a Rasta village?
@@NyahFyah1Most Jamaicans (the black people) are descended from the peoples of Ghana and Nigeria.
Tayo you do it best,thanks always.YOU INSPIRE ME ALOT.much love from Uganda
As a jamaican i can tell you rastas are some of if not the best people on earth and we should just call there hair locs cut out the dread part one love jamaica mama africa
I am grateful for your introduction to Rastafari and its way of life! Expressions like "we are one" or "plants, animals, your sisters and brothers!" resonated with me, reminding me of my connection to everything .Thank you so much🙏
Word aren’t strong enough to describe how amazing this Tayo’s video is. 🔥
The man who gave you guys coconut is so Majestic. He really is a king. I absolutely loved this video Tayo. Thrones! 🥥
No substitute for quality, Tayo Aino always deliver high quality videos and its so profound.
Absolutely inspiring to see the Rastafari way of life in action-a true reflection of living in harmony with nature. The philosophy they embody resonates deeply with Shaiva values: simplicity, unity with the Earth, and the belief in the sacredness of all beings. Dreadlocks, seen in both Rasta and Shaiva traditions, represent a deeper connection to nature, while natural herbs like cannabis are honored as plants of wisdom. In a world consumed by capitalism, it’s refreshing to see a community so committed to sustainable living, spiritual growth, and freedom from material excess. Much respect to these timeless values!
This is what they call content. i am so blessed viewing it.
This video made me yearn to be one with them, to be there. Their respect for their wimen is top notch next level and I love this culture even more for that. These BM are kings ❤
This is deep
The Rastafarians have a unique way of viewing life.
One Love (Inity) ❤
And yet another Beautiful video I truly LEARN so much I didn't know about Us in this Human race of GOD PEOPLE I LOVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT EXPOSED IN YOUR CONTENT... ABSOLUTELY TRUTH NOT A SHOWCASE THE REAL DEAL... PROUD OF YOU..Tayo Aina
Imagine exploring the world 😮 just on TAYO AINA page, mehn it's crazzi❤❤❤

Beautiful souls Dem ❤🔥 Fantastic job Tayo!
Tayo, your 🇯🇲 trip seemed a lot longer than I thought...excellent coverage ❤️💚💛 Thanks 🙏🏿
The wisdom from the leader is profound. It’s amazing it’s all making sense and glad they associate more with Africa. Thank you Tayo
Just look at how people are so contented with the little they have, they don´t worry about Ferrari, blings etc
They choose this way.
What good is a Ferrari in the Bush?
Wow this video is really amazing , l also learn a from from Rasta people, simple and honest life, the don't care about money, what the they cherish most is peace of mind, thank you Tayo for the great video, keep it up brother
This content was so educational tayo no fear you get get 1m subscribers very soon 😊
Haha, had a smile on my face almost through the whole video. Such fun and genuine people and interactions, rump rough xD 😂
Thanks for changing the title ❤, as an African brother you should’ve known better but everyone learns. The good thing is that you changed the title. Peace and love 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
After watching this, I feel like the Rastafarian way of life is how we all should live on this earth. It means respecting and loving everyone because we are all from one God/Source. Even the Bible says, 'My Father and I are one. 🙏🏾Big up Tayo for your amazing work 🫶🏾
One love my brothers and sisters. When you take it you must put it back. That's the word to Babylon, they should bring my people back before Jah fire start to burn.🇬🇭🦁
Tayo needs a million subs apas guys let's go, his video quality is beautiful and also he has a great story line
They took us out of Africa , but they cant take Africa out of us.🇯🇲

Sorry
Iam a Christian but with a strong rastafarian attachment.My house all decorated with rastafarian flags and also have many matching head gears and t-shirts about rasta beliefs..As Morgan heritage sung, "you don't gotta be dreaded to be a rasta,it is the divine conception of the heart".Old school raggae is real food for my soul..Jah bless you all brothers and sisters.
It's not possible to be a true Christian and Rasta.
@StrongnBeautiful I am Christian but I admire the rastafarian philosophy.More so Jesus is a strong figure in rastafarian faith and they also follow Biblical scriptures only that they transcribe them to fit their rastafarian doctrine.There is nothing wrong being a Christian and loving the rastafarian culture
As a Nigerian teen,my parents are always asking why I enjoy watching Tayo Aina and his colleagues videos😂
I prefer watching your videos to films,and hope one day to become a realtor.I love all your travel and tour videos❤
Your videos are top notch,I even forget to skip ads😅
Love that! You are the best!
Same here 😂😂 I eagerly wait for Tayo Aina's videos. It's quite adventurous, I love adventures
I watched this five times now thank you so much for this movie. Small series call it what you want but this is life to me bringing it to the fortront of the first world so we can continue to show the truth as to why we fight. Jah!
If Tayo doesn't get 1 million i will cry so pls save my tears and subscribe
For me this, together with a video you did in Namibia has been the most inspiring, entertaining and enjoyable videos of your channel! I admire the lives of rastafarians who live like this community. It's a desire of mine, that along this conscious path, that we all find our individual soul nations. Namaste 💜
There are some Rastafarians in Jamaica who don't smoke weed or Ganja..just natural and conscious living...
@charmaineeverett4488. 💯. But guess what this fact won't be seized upon. Also the majority of jamaicans DO NOT SMOKE.
@maaruz1979 are you for real
@maaruz1979 he didn't have bad intentions please
There is nothing wrong with ganja and anyone is free to use it however it suits them.
there r also combsome Rasta who most wudn know r Rasta because they don't look like the stereotype, but claim in heart n testify with tongue tht His Imperial Majesty King, Rasta Tafari Hailey Selassie(MPUH) is King of earthly Kings n a Prophet of GOD.
i was rcially profiled many times n because i was Blessed to be raised around Rasta i hail up people who have dreads, the amount of rcism i get in return from follow fashion hairstyles.............Praise GOD i know Real Rasta.
evn His Imperial Majesty was combsome n never had dreads.
Love n Blessings Family!!!
This was very informative. I think this is the way of living God intended for us/very close to it. I respect them for this. One love 🇿🇦
I don't agree with you calling Rastafari strange. Rastas have always been way ahead of time in terms of health and lifestyle. Now everybody into ital. Nothing strange about that
Yeah his choice of language is a little questionable at times. Not always neutral especially when people let you into their life…
Maybe Jamaica will bless him with a touch more consciousness.
He calls it mysterious as well, which lets me know to him and his culture, it is strange and mysterious, hence the reasons for his research.
Nigerians have unusual ways of using some English words. Maybe that's why.
NOT ONLY HEALTHY ITAL EATING....BUT THE DECLARATION THAT GANJA IS THE HEALING OF THE NATION.....AFTER COUNTLESS PERSECUTION FROM THE SYSTEM.
TODAY ...THE WORLD IS SELIING MEDICINAL MARIJUANA.....AND PEOPLE ARE BEING CURED.
RASTA SAID IT ...AND SUFFERED DISCRIMINATION, BRUTALITY FOR USING GANJA.
TODAY....BABYLON IS MAKING MILLIONS ON THE HERB
@@Abbaschosenonewere the jacobites tribe of judah from the kingdoms in ireland before cromwell shipped us out that the mysterious part! Ras-tafari was haile sellasies full name he's not who they thought he was so now calling that name is idol man worship the pictures and statues....graven images...people don't see his relationship with the wicked queen?... So if they call themselves after his name that's worshipping a man that wasn't their people (tribes) to begin he clearly looks like he's a kushite to me...look at the land in Jamaica thank God for that not a foreigner we have our own original culture before rasta which involves all of what you see them doing here
Hail...!! de I, Brethren and Sisteren , excellent knowledge video, the Empress is very beautiful and very beautifully spoken. Hail the Empress...!! Lioness Goddess Ase Ase'oooooo!!!
I have always been interested in the Rastafarian religion and raggae music. This is a very insightful video, thank you Tayo for this coverage.
I'm South African and I've just learnt a lot about being a Rastafarian. This was truly educational.
Amazing video Tayo, this is a world class video. Thrones !!!
Thank you Tayo for the information that you passing on about Jamaica. Jamaica has such a rich history and strength
Jamaican people are kinda easy to start a random conversation with, too nice and and welcoming, love from northern Nigeria ❤
Edit:
FIRE BURN BABYLON 😅
Tayo:cheers
Raster: throne 😎
@Harvesta
Yes! 100%! This is what I love the most about living in Jamaica. But I have to admit that Jamaican men are the very best at conversation with strangers. Jamaican women in general are more reserved, especially with strangers.
lol fyah bun
FIRE PON BABYLON😊

Can I just say how much I appreciated this video? You dispelled SO many misconceptions I had within literally 4 minutes. I didn't even know that they were a minority in Jamaica and stay away from mainstream culture. I've been living in the west for too long coz honestly - I used to assume most people there were rastafarians.
Also, I was cracking uppppppp when she was teaching you how to say "fire upon babylon" - specially when she told you to find your african accent. It was hilarious. Anyway, honestly great video. Thank you for educating me!
Jamaicans in general and Rastafari in particular will always be the eyes and ears of Africa for African liberation and Redemption. One love 💚💛❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You guys should stop disgracing Africa and its people. How would you say you are the eyes for African liberation and redemption? Nonsense!
@@nmg1909Put your arrogance aside. Most Rasta's are Pan-Africans. The ideology is what will eventually free Africa from Western domination and will help to rebuild our continent with the vast wealth that is beneath the soil of our motherland.
ONE LOVE!
Can I correct you Beloved Rastafarian ism is not a religion but a way of life in accordance with the natural laws and original Universal laws. Please stop saying Rasta is religion❤
You know, I'm so happy to hear you say this because I KNOW the reason why I felt spiritually guided to wear my hair as lox (my antennas), and although I try to live my life in a more nature-oriented rhythm (like some rastafarians) I simply do not practice any form of (systematic) religion of any kind, so I do not call myself a rastafarian.💜
Ya man!Rastafaria is NOT a religion!Its a way of life.
🤔 depends on who you ask I guess. Rastafari, sometimes called Rastafarianism, is an Abrahamic religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s. It is classified as both a new religious movement and a social movement by scholars of religion. There is no central authority in control of the movement and much diversity exists among practitioners, who are known as Rastafari, Rastafarians, or Rastas.

@@worldgonemad1152that’s a the wiki and AI definition. But, no Rasta will say it is a religion and that should be respected. I live in the other Jamaica. 😂 Brooklyn, NY. My ex-hubby is a Rasta and even though they have influences from Ethiopia’s Coptic Tewahedo Religion which may predate Christianity (I am pretty convinced but that doesn’t make it factual). It’s still disputed, but they have good reasons to not consider this a religion. I understand how the world classifies it, but much like all else, folks should be allowed to self-identify and determine their own classification. I understand why it isn’t a religion. But, I also understand why the rest of us are so gung-ho on labeling things and it needs to stop.
won't call it strange religion, but more of a spiritual movement.. Respect and Love Alone :)
Rigion are. More or less cultist. This living is a humanist Spiritual movement tha attracts all pure in heart. Can't join Rastafari or be a memnber. It's a spiritual calling. Muslim Buddhist Gnostic Hindu Christianetc. Rastafari is like the ocean , it never calls you,but whoever fells the need to enter it's their free will. Not s Religion.not weed smokers etc. curators or creation.
Your content is always educative, thanks 🙏 much for the info. More grace Tayo Aina films.
You got back to Jamaica with this epic 👊💯🇳🇬
I love the accent…thanks for giving us another side of this amazing people

I wish I can live my life like this. Jeez, they are so peaceful and connected to nature. Big love from Russia
Brilliant filmmaking, as usual, Tayo!
That's how I see your work. I see you as a filmmaker and I appreciate your great talent.
You did an excellent job sharing the Rastafari narrative of Jamaica. 😊
I enjoyed how you portrayed Jamaica, the land of my birth. Thanks for visiting and hope you go back for more. One of these days I too might take a trip to Nigeria.
