- We will venture off into the less often visited Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica. Much like Colon, Panama; Puerto Limon is a culturally rich Caribbean side city with a vibe and flavor reminiscent of the islands. This video will tell the story of Afro Latinos, created by capitalism. Lets explore the streets and enjoy treats of Limon, Costa Rica.
Let's go!!!
I live in San Jose, one of my favorite cities to visit is Limon, good beaches great food.
My great grandparents were originally from Limon province in CR🇨🇷🇨🇷 Their parents were from JA🇯🇲🇯🇲
Moved to Canal Zone in the late 30s because the Americans were looking for English speaking workers. Settled in
Colon, which is where my grandmother was born.
So I don’t know whether to call myself Jamaican, Costa Rican, or Panamanian 😅
…… Man ah YAAD MON!!!
@@KeenanLambert198ya get me!! Exactly
You are multicultural Saludos desde la ciudad de Perez (CR)
This reminded me of a Panamanian cat I met in the Bronx. I thought he was 100% Puerto Rican or Dominican. When I mentioned I had Jamaican roots his face lit up as he mentioned his grandmother was Jamaican and he grew up with an ackee tree in the yard. Gotta love the blend of cultures 🤞🏿
The blend is a lovely thing my brother! With these videos I hope to bring the diaspora just a little bit closer together. One family ✊🏾
I’m 100% on board with your mission, bredda. Glad you found your purpose 💪🏾
Are you related to senator Joseph Lambert family?@@KeenanLambert198
@@KeenanLambert198sir, did you know Lambert is a French last name? and did also know that a lot of jamaican's migrated to Haiti right after Haiti gained it's independence? for more information on it, Google Jamaica debt to Haiti.
Man I like your videos, very informative. The one great thing is you don't continuously discuss crime and poor conditions. You realize all places have positive and negative qualities. A lot of travelers only discuss negatives of other countries as if America does not have tremendously "bad" qualities. Thank you for showing the positive s and negatives and not dwelling on crime and poverty.
Thanks so much for watching and observing the style... I think some people don't research or have prior knowledge of the history and culture so they lean on criminality and poverty... For me criminal activity and poverty are the results of a root problem.... For me, finding and discussing that root is far more important...
That looks like one hell of a of a trip. Thank you for all of the cool facts and for letting me live through you. Have a good rest of your holiday
Nightlife coming next! Stay tuned! Happy holidays!
Happy to see this video ❤
Love from a Limon descendant!
Thanks for coming out from the Colón Panama video 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Awesome job once again. When my brother and I were in Costa Rica we wanted to go there but the rains were really bad when we're were there and we were told that the roads were a mess and it wouldn't be a good idea.
Respect Mas Barrett! The first time I went to Costa Rica I stayed in around the capital…. I vowed to never make that mistake again…. Limon is a vibeeee
Great vid. I must say I love it when you educate us on African history in the Caribbean and Americas. A subject I'm painfully ignorant about. Looking forward to hearing more. Happy New Year.
Ben!!!! I hope all is well my brother! Happy New Year! How is the boat in Rio Dulce going?!
Absolutely loved the history lesson here, Keenan. Thanks for this, new subscriber!

Next time my friend!
Great Video Keenan! While you are talking through the video, I'm watching closely at the sights. You Know how it is...#TeamCreepy LMAO!!!!! Have A Happy New Year Bro And Be Safe!!!!
#TeamCreepy FOREVER!!!!!! Lets go for a new year!
Great video. I went to Black day August 31st in Limon this year. I really enjoyed it and hope to go back. I heard that Limon was dangerous also but that didn't seem true to me either. I agree they say that because there a black people there. Limon seems really safe and the all races were at the Black day parade as participants and as on lookers. If you ever get a chance you should go to Black day, it's really nice.
Writing this down! Thanks Ms. Tucker! Any chance you have a family member Imani Tucker in Brooklyn?
@@KeenanLambert198 No not related to Imani Tucker in Brooklyn. Imani is a nice name tho. I'm from the south. I have distant cousins in Brooklyn but they aren't Tuckers.
LOL! Keenan, you should start a food critic channel!!
Lol Bourdain was my guy…. I’m going to continue being part Historian/Gyalis/foodie/adventurer
Good video and accurate . (I'm a Tico)
Blessings my G!
@@KeenanLambert198 Really...you're so natural.at this. good luck in the future
epic!
Keeenaaaann 🎉😂❤
Cha!!!!!! What up fam!!! Thanks for watching this one!!!
Yes boss I see and mi hear yu
Alot of the Jamaicans went to where you are now. My Jamaican grandparents lived on 5th street two blocks from The Marcus Garvey school. The patois is not as strong anymore. The black youths become more Spanish since the Jamaicans are facing out. Alot went to the USA. They start mixing with the Spanish. You are in Jamaica town Costa Rica where all the Cista Ricans had to stay
Jamaicans definitely did the same migration to other Caribbean islands (panama for example) and central America and also into Florida(see Belle Glade FL) they went to work largely in the then booming and previous slave trade or sugar cane/rum industries
Facts! Bajans also did it too 🙏🏾🔥
I’ll look up Belle Glade just now
@@KeenanLambert198 yes I ran into Bajans and ja in Belle Glade which still produces sugar cane.. and I thought they were new there, but it didn't make sense that older Caribbean folks were there so I started to ask and they were all ex sugar cane workers or school board retirees whose parents went to Belle Glade back when the industry was booming. Trust me Belle Glade is no longer booming..it's a sht hole (trump is dillusional there are shartt hoes within usa ..but I digress) at one point that area led the HIV epidemic in FL other than Miami/Dade county .. the insurance company I worked for at one point didn't touch that area because of the cost to keep folks healthy. I had several doctors offices I was assigned too out there and faith with the 65yrs old and up population and disabled and at another point kids throughout central and south Florida that's where I got to experience these things. Panamanians I learned had JA migrante working the sugar cane when I met a ex girlfriend off mine that was a stewardess for JetBlue.. she was black Panamanian .. Parents Jamaican
Brother..... This in itself is a whole video!
@@KeenanLambert198jamaican's also migrated to Haiti right after Haiti gained it's independence, Google Jamaica debt to Haiti. it's an article from the Jamaica observer.
@@KeenanLambert198a lot of jamaican's also migrated to Haiti right after Haiti gained it's independence. Google Jamaica debt to Haiti, it's an article from Jamaica observer
The Jamaican brought ackee and cocoa there. The goverment diseased the trees to raise chikee bananas brand
Lol.. so i just realized beef patties are present in some form all over the world.. in nigeria we just call it a meatpie.. we dont like the crust flaky.. looks just like u had in this vid.. that sorrel drink is called zobo in nigeria ..
It seems the British exported the basis for Patties/meatpies… across their colonies and protectorates…. Only thing is we of course added our seasonings to make it taste great right?
Nice video of Limon but how come you haven't gone to Bocas del Toro in panama you missing out bro 😅 while u in costa rica check out cartago and Guanacaste 😊
Already left my G!!! I was looking at parachuting my ass into Bocas yesterday …. I saw a lot of gringos though….. no me gusta
@@KeenanLambert198Bocas is full of backpacking Europeans and Canadians. Beautiful beaches but doesn’t feel like you’re in Panama, didn’t care for it
hi. Please tell me, how is the security situation in limon?
Well….. Puerto is a little iffy….
@@KeenanLambert198
??? 😮
what's the song that plays at the beginning
Kes the Band - Jolene
la patty es la mejor
How do you compare to Panama similar area 🤔
Colón vs. Limon?
@@KeenanLambert198 if they are equal in that sweet black tang ..... yes
Lmao.... #TeamCreepy Well, Limon is just as accessible as Colon.. Colon is slightly more dangerous at night... It actually looks and feels a lot like Cuba...
@@KeenanLambert198do you think it's possible to show the Haitian community in Cuba, sir?
Show more ther city
This is a historical video about a people under covered...
Go to Taylors restaurant and get your Jamaican food
How did you learn to speak Spanish?
Its also the city/provence in Costa Rica with The highest crime. Coincidence?
No Reminiscent of Jamaican patois that is not only Panamanian patois but Costa Rican to because during the era of the Railroad when Jamaicans Migrated to Costa Rica to work on the railroad
Good take 💪🏾🙏🏾
Have you done Tijuana Mexico yet?
Yes! Fun and suspect at the same time lol
@@KeenanLambert198 ok cool. I thought about working in San Diego but living like a king in Tijuana by crossing the border everyday lol
Tijuana is DANGEROUS.
@@CGarrett I know a guy doing it… that TJ crossing is a rough one in the morning
Yes, hella suspect.... You can feel it too
Brown skinned
Be sure to watch the nightlife vid too
pah - tee
Yow bredda, ah overnight foods dat...cooked up all ah di leave over meat 👀🤦🏾♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@KeenanLambert198 there is no way 3 different tasting meat should be in one 👀🤣😂🤣😂🤣
it's pronounced path-tee
Too Motch istory, no 1 whant to now.
Too much history? 🤣🤣
I'm Costa Rican and I can't stand the caribbean chicken either.. subbed
How many days did you stay there? And where? Because you stating its not dangerous....you are a tourist making a quick clip for the likes
For the history and the culture….
A historian...I think the people out in those regions have phones and internet to make videos themselves
