Xavier! Man this interview was so awesome that me as a proud Sierra Leonean had to like the interviews rewatch over and sharing it with my Salone friends and 👪 world wide. That's for doing this interview!
I just did too… shared to all my friends
Good,like it
@@TheSassiassi Thank you for watching and sharing.
Thank you for sharing and hope to visit Sierra Leonean one day.
Kreng kreng in old time Jamaica was a wire basket that was hung over the open fire in the fireside. Always, meat, tripe etc. was placed in it so it would be smoked. Pieces of this smoked 'meat kind' would then be cut and added to what was being cooked to add flavour. The meat kind was from pig, goat etc. that was butchered by individual families. This is the best I can explain.
I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING FROM YOUR JAMAICANS ABROAD SERIES. JUST AWESOME MAN!! 🇯🇲
Thanks for watching. I learn so much doing the show.
Ok. Why are you both so handsome?

I grew up with one of your sister and I knew your late father very well
Thank you Xavier & Charles. I will now add Sierra Leone to my list of African travels. Great Interview as always, keep up the excellent work.
Sierra Leone is such a beautiful country 🇸🇱
WONDERFUL...during my research on Queen Nanny of the Maroons of Jamaica I learnt that once there were a Ship loaded with captives from Sierra Leone and the ship got wrecked in Jamaica and the captured took the opportunity to join the Maroons in the hills. This is what I learnt, probably you all can do some research on this. BLESSINGS from GRENADA.
Charles laugh is so infectious, my face hurt. History class was in full session. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. This is a must share with friends and fam. Blessings Xavier and the crew
Agree...it is infectious. Blessings.
My late father is from Brenard, St. Mary.
The Windrush came about by the recommendation of a Sierra Leonean
Really? Do you know who the person is? As in what their name is and any documentations about them?
There is
Xavier this interview with Charles was so great. It was pleasure hearing from a Jamaican whose father a a Sierra Leonian and was able to connect with other members of his has family. He has such a rich family history. I have shared this interview with several Jamaican friends and I hope they will also share it with others. Charles I wish you all the best
Hi Mark. I've been planning to visit Sierra Leone since 2020, but COVID and other challenges have disrupted my plans. One day, one day...
Great interview. Charles is an engaging and intelligent young man, and it was nice to hear a positive report about Sierra Leone, the Western media can be very negative. Keep em coming!
Always love watching these!!!
Love love this interview one of the best.
Awesome interview. Great info. I learned so much. Appreciate how he embraced both of his cultures. Continue to stay true to yourself. May God continue to bless you both.
Very educational interview .. This young man is well rounded in various cultures and it gives him the ability to see and appreciate things in many perspectives.
Kreng kreng is old time Jamaican basket used for smoking meat!!
👍🏼
My first time to stumble on this and am amazed. Happy to see our brother. Its such a small world and because he is open minded he fits in easily. We Africans have always looked to Jamaicans as family
I reside in Canada and have great Jamaican friends and even travelled to Jamaica. Well done to both of you
Krain Krain and granat soup , and we also eat callaloo, which we call Green.
SIR YOU AND MARK, DOING A GOOD JOB, MAN HE WENT TO WEST AFRICA, AND HE IS SUTCH A YOUNG YOUTH, THAT'S WONDERFUL HE IS BLESS UP THE MAN IN TIMES, HE IS SUTCH A GOOD YOUTHS , HE WILL GET THERE IN TIMES BLESSING,
What a fantastic interview, big brother! Loved it. Joyce
No Xavier we Sierra Leoneans are very tolerant especially to strangers and we love and admire them. We do not get angry if you do not pronounce properly because we are aware of other people's languages.
Excellent interview
Thanks. Charles provided some great info
Great interview, so informative
Xavier this interview with Charles was 👍 great and to know Sierra Leone has such a great history and to hear it from a Jamaican whose father was from Sierra Leone and he has family in Sierra Leone “The Smart Family” Such😊 a rich Heritage. Such history which is so informative and we all should know more about our African history. Wishing Charles all the best in his different projects.
What a wonderful, lively and informative interview! All the best Charles and "audibadii"
Nobody mentioned what the Windrush was doing in the Caribbean.

Amazing interview.
John Henry Smythe is the man u can Google
One of the first defeats Jamaican troops in Sierra Leone suffered was at the hands of the Ashanti The British West India regiment had a base in that country for years it was made up of mainly Jamaican slaves.jamaicans also fought in Africa after emancipation
There were many conflicts after the first Sierra Leone defeat
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! I love Charles’ laugh😻

Sierra Leone people need to wise up please don't let being poor oppress These politrician need to look out for their own people. China would never let you mine in their country

How is the body! I think that's what that greeting is.
Yo are right Joann! That is how Sierra Leoneans greet each other.
Di body fine oh
Thanks for sharing the greeting 👍🏾
Orpotho, meaning White man!! Love your narrative ❤
Orpotho is a Temne word meaning Whiteman. The Krio word is Wateman.
Bob Marley wrote his song Zimbabwe as a tribute to the people of Zimbabwe in their struggle to gain independence from their colonizers. Of course Africa loves Bob Marley.
👌👌👌💞🇯🇲🇨🇦
😂😂😂 “Poto” you are talking about my people the Temene people. Lovely people uses caused words like Jamaicas. In fact one particular caused word Jamaicans used is from the Temene language .
😀😀😀bomb*
Ooh wow. So much shared history
I went to Kingston Parish Church and saw the Jamaicans killed there in the rebellion.in the 1890's They rebelled more than once
Jamaica is a working passport in America to and the Caribbean let me no lol
He does not know the history between Jamaica and Sierra Leone There is a reason why he was Puta colonizer .The British West India regiment was stationed there .The regiment were mainly Jamaican slaves and were defeated by the Ashanti in the early nineteenth century .The Jamaicans fought all over Africa before and after emancipation.
Why Jamaicans are called colonisers the repressed the people many times and the British West India regiment was stationed there Jamaican were the majority
