Christianity Abroad: 🎼 The ”Devil’s Music” & Indigenous Sounds

We’re back with a new season as this February marks the first anniversary of the WWH podcast!! To celebrate, we’re launching Season 2 with our Abroad series. In this first episode our first stop is to the Caribbean: the USVI 🇻🇮, Jamaica 🇯🇲 - and ultimately hitting the US mainland (after a stopover in Brasil 🇧🇷). We’re highlighting Black (and Indigenous) music as "dissent" and sharing this insightful interview with Ro by Jack Matirko from the TST-TV show and #ONPBreakpoint. Jack and Ro talk about the demonization of African culture in the West Indies as a cultural product and dynamic in religious practices on a landscape long shaped by Christian missionaries both Catholic and Protestant in colonial settlements where Black and indigenous people were forced to give labor. We also briefly the demonizing of Black musical forms throughout key periods of American music history and how they differ from Caribbean musical landscapes, from past to present. _____ (Ep. 20) Show Notes Host: Rogiérs Writing & Narration: Rogiérs Interviewer: Jack Matirko for TST-TV and The Satanic Estate Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Storyblocks Additional Music: "Again" (Sine Qua Non Mix) & (Seven Davis, Jr. Mix) (Courtesy of Fibby Music Group, LLC) Resources & Mentions "We've Got Everything Here: A Modern Nightmare" by Jack Matirko (2023) "Rogiérs Fibby on the demonization of African culture in the West Indies" Only Sky Media, 2021) Rumble, A PBS Documentary (2019) Kumina Peoples of Jamaica, Documentary (Source Unknown) _____________________________ For Contact, Inquiry, Voicemail & Feedback: E: [email protected] Twitter: @WWHPodcasting _____________________________ Additional Content: Find the entire LEGACY catalogue of programs online (TBA) Find Black Secular Collective-DC online on Facebook and also on Meetup.
