About this listen
Today's episode features Jah'Mila, a Jamaican-born Canadian reggae musician described by The Coast as "arguably the biggest name in Halifax reggae, and with good reason. She's played in groups: Black Uhuru, and The Wailers. She performs with Symphony Nova Scotia, has her own band, and regularly sells out shows.
You'll hear us discuss how she used the pandemic as a motivator to challenge herself, and create more of her own music - which contributed to one of her most well-known songs to date "Chant Their Names"
The song came after the tragic murder of George Floyd, Jah'Mila was like most of us, completely horrified. His death inadvertently inspired a much bigger dialogue and ultimately highlights the sad reality that racism continues to be a deadly issue that will not go away.
The silver lining, as you'll hear in our interview, is the way the Halifax community banded together during this time and assisted Jah'Mila in creating an impactful music video during the pandemic.
