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 is a record of a difficult, if unusual and complex, musical journey. We walk around Trenchtown with Bob Marleys 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. Surabhi Sharmas earlier films include: Jari Mari: Of Cloth and Other Stories (2001); Aamakaar - The Turtlepeople (2003); and Above the Din of Sewing Machines (2004).

素不喜Reggae，Bob Marley的译法也非通常，但通过此片知晓，在印度此类音乐的盛行还蕴含一定政治意义。

非常有意思，让我看到了全新的丰富多变的音乐模式，而且有文化有生活有性情。剪辑得也不错，很有心很有爱，探访了很多人，跟踪了很多演出、录音和访谈活动，使片子很有看头。有个有趣的音乐叫pan，就是个凹凸的平底锅，但音色奇好，片子也以它的表演告终。

第一次见锅做的乐器，音色还挺棒。第一次知道那个地方的那段历史。那里的音乐和人绝对热情。片子就像一串糖葫芦。观影的某领导说：“东方要起来，女性要突破”

其实挺一般的，就冲音乐给四星吧。
