>From the mid-nineteenth century Indian labourers arrived in the Caribbean on
boats, bringing a few belongings and their music – the beginnings of a
remarkable cultural practice. More than 150 years later musician Remo
Fernandes travels to the Islands to explore potential collaborations and
create new work. *Jahaji Music: **India** in the **Caribbean* is a record of
a difficult, if unusual and complex, musical journey.



We walk around Trenchtown with Bob Marley's teacher and rastafari
philosopher Mortimo Planno; accompany calypso and soca singer Rikki Jai to
Skinner Park; chat with visual artist Chris Cozier in the Savannah; follow
Dancehall Queen Stacey to *Weddy Weddy Wednesday*; groove to Lady Saw's
lyrics; record a new song with Denise *Saucy Wow *Belfon and are guests at
an East Indian Hindu wedding. Endeavouring, through it all, to weave a story
of memory, identity and creativity.



*Jahaji Music* is an attempt to make meaning of aspects of contemporary
culture in Trinidad and Jamaica, even as it is a witness to the nature and
possibilities of artistic collaboration
