Buju Banton Speaks For The First Time Since Return - Onstage March 14 2020

- Within a year of his release Buju Banton after 10 years in U.S. custody has reclaimed his place in the upper echelon of Dancehall and Reggae. In March of 2019 Banton's 'Long Walk To Freedom' concert in Kingston, not only made history by raming Jamaica's National Stadium to capacity he also made an epic return to live performance.
The Freedom Walk went on to sell out venues across the Caribbean, Europe and Africa and before 2019 was out Buju Banton conquered perhaps the biggest fete in his walk, that of making hit records once again.
BUt how did he preserve himself, his talent, his soul over all hese years.
We had the privilege of a one on one with Buju Banton and though he understandably had no desire to recall those dreaded years of his life, he was however very direct in speaking of his preservation and return, the state of Jamaica's music, his relentless passion to raise the standard of the music and so much more.

"Patience is a virtue, practice by many, mastered by few". When he said that I drop everything that I was doing and pay full attention to the interview.
Up full progress bradda
Same over here... The don consciousness is pon a firm ground
He a hypocrite. He ain't got no patience. Bun fufu wanton
Dancehall should respect and listen to this man!
@@jamierdebus325 you all over this comments with your negative comments you just jealous buju is so loved you cannot take that away I with 15 friends travel from Canada to Jamaica just for a weekend to see buju,
Can sit down and listen buju talk for hours man fulla words of wisdom 🙌💯
Am I the only one who got goosebumps watching this? This is true purity from the perspective of an icon!
It's always a pleasure to listen to Buju.Such brilliance.
Buju nearly kill Winford with Gems from his perspective of music. Such a level headed and a brilliant artist.
Buju seh he lost size but he nearly break Winfred hand at the end of that interview with that hand slap 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
Luke Smith great great mind
Luke well said.
pure real talk fi real
When buju a talk him grab your attention.. Soak up the knowledge
Fi real man
@@trueewayss262 the words of a real pork eater ..while u are judging him a live him best life ..free your mind from negativity ...
for real
lol I spotted that
"The music was here before you and it will be here after you" - Buju
Buju level of reasoning a confound poor Winford. One of the most intelligent and articulated artist Jamaica ever have.
Not really. Winford is no dummy. Winford just went into the interview wanting to focus on bujus time abroad. Instead buju wanted to focus on the road ahead and lessons learned.
Blessings still.
Africa loves you Buju and Africa loves Jamaica! We are one family Jamaica has always been the voice of Africas spirituality through music
Which part of Africa your from?
Hi
@@samuelaransevia8782 qsedr
We love you too!❤
Always and that's why reggae music GROWW N BIGG thru the LOVE of Africa they show in their MUSIC.
I’m having a proud moment... Winford and team you did it again...so much respect for your hard work to deliver a show each week✊🏾For those who are disappointed with Winford’s questions, clearly Buju didn’t want to talk about the case and his experiences in prison. He has served his time and want to move on from what could be such a traumatic experience for him and his family..... suh mek wi honour it and look out for his Album due to drop on my birthday May 5 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. Bless up!
Wow, well said beautiful lady.
I wouldnt have done the interview November will be 2 years since he was released.He has avoided those questions in every way.He doesnt have to give specific details but it has to be addressed in some way
Elli El real medz
Elli El thank you at least you’re not of the ignorant masses. That was Buju’s journey and the ONLY people he owes an explanation or apology is his family and children, he did his time and has moved on and SO should all the nosey plunkers 🤦🏾♀️
Yeah he did the crime do his time past is the past future waiting
One who speaks with their eyes closed collects their words from a deep place of knowledge. Big up fi wisdom. BUJU
His eyes being closed maybe from some "high grade"

Very Very true, they often tap from their Abstract mined which is the higher level of thinking .
Buju is so articulate, so eloquent, a deep thinker and passionate soul. He's amazing! I truly enjoyed this interview.
jail can do that .
@@earthworldserver He was always like dat....prison time doesn't have anything to do with how he is programme
@@jameshamilton5947 so true
You really didn't know how eloquent this man has been since forever
The interview with Seani B was much better
I am not the King I am a servant of the music. When the King comes he must be identifiable but when the servant come let it not be said that he didn't get the Message!
Profound!
Deep!
Buju must tell KARTEL that
Buju shoul tell Kartel to stop run down kingship..Buju talk some fact but why he feels that Kartel a run danceall is because most of the radio stations and sound men them mostly plays Kartel's songs and not others like Alkaline..I hope Winford treats other artists the same and give them the same respect if they don't want to talk about certain things in the past and dont press them on speaking on it..like Alkaline and othres..Look how much things he talk about but some people a run with a few seconds of what he said about Kartel..the mind set of some people will never change.
Not many will get it
I'm so excited to see this interview...I've been waiting for so long for this moment! Wow!
rose0893 yes my cousin I see you

hello dear i really admire u
Do you all know that Buju has a Master's Degree in Music🤔watching again 2021
I'd watch this interview 1million times, Buju is legendary yow, the man just calm, humble and easy going.
The message of our music was just explained with power and intelligence. He said we must protect Reggae and take our craft to the next level as the originator.
💯🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥
This interview should have been 4 hours long
Lol, my husband & I were watching and we kept pausing to make it seem longer..🙂..we were at the concert in Ja so it meant a lottt..
@@nekovero93 I was there as well, but bare in mind, I already see him performed ten times before that.
I agree

Mr Williams this interview was not enough Sir, we need another interview from Mr Banton..... Can't get enough of him, his knowledge or his intellectual property😍😍😍😍love yuh Buju from shoes bottom to grun😘😘😘
The interview was rubbish!!!!! Mr Williams your crap. Not your best interview. Very poor .
Myrie, I respect you straight from Nairobi Kenya." I look inside myself to see whats happening.I dont look outside soo much".Only lightworkers will overstand.
Floored me with his consistent profound wisdom for the music.
He is one artist , l owe respect in Zimbabwe after Bob Marley. Shy but articulate.
Mi like di redhead raw emotion when she shout out Buju mi luv yu 💯🇯🇲
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Buju Banton is the truth of Jamaica, these new artist's need fi take notes, he covered all aspects of being a good Dj.
So true.
Well said!
So,you’re saying the truth of Jamaica is selling coke? Good Lord….
Buju is top 3 jamaican artist of all time, hands down. Legendary 👊👊👊
Buju is not top three,he is top one ,the greatest.
@@flobekoe no, Bob Marley is the greatest Jamaican artist of all time. Hence why I say Buju top 3. Kartel up there too, him transcendent and still on top currently. So between him and kartel is a toss up #2 and #3, but everyone knows no one above BoB.
Izzy 91 Kartel definitely not top 3. Maybe I’m missing something but when did Kartel transcend dancehall?
@@kstephen1519 kartel is top 3 y'all jus hate him for d type of person he is, i knw he not all that good of a guy but come on..
Richard Mcintosh Definitely not hating. This is about his music, not for me to judge his character. He’s managed to generate a cult following as an artist but to say top 3 all time Jamaican artist up there with Bob and so many other greats. Hell no!! Not even top 3 in dancehall because dancehall music actually plummeted on a worldwide stage on his watch. He’s more hype than substance.
He accepted what he did and found peace that’s how he prevailed❤️💛💚
So true
❣📿🤲🙏❤❤❤
Nothing to accept. He actually didn't do anything wrong.
He was set up!!!
@@morelife6508 I concur with the
True Buju!!!!!! Them can’t ride Riddim. Wise of the wise mr Buju B. True son of my birth place Jamaica.
@Mr Lex then wah happened to the ANSWER. .lol
Buju find intelligence through enlightenment wisdom, knowledge and understanding is a few of the keys of the spirit just the starting point. On this journey activation at its best look listen and learn 🔥🙏🏽🙌🏻😇🇯🇲👑
Soo humble,"I am a servant of the music." Love Buju!
I love BUJU growing up watching him and hearing him from my dad playing his music. he is one of the most brilliant and educated leaders in music in Jamaica. I am honored to be a Jamaican❤️
Express yourself Buju.. protecting our roots is important.
Buji dropping so much gems. Legend icon trendsetter.
Buju Banton is an icon. Maybe Jamaicans don't realize how big reggae & dancehall is in Africa. We love the vibes that come out of unu island 🔥
Buju is a legend I have alot of respect for this man big respect from all the way from N.Y.C bless🙏👏
This man is so profound in his passion and knowledge of our music! Made me so proud watching this interview:)
I agree with you!
Buju you're always way above the rest. Fantastic interview 💯🇯🇲
You right Sir! There is Buju and Beres both above the rest, the best voices and reggae singers on earth.
This is a real interview all Jamaican artiste must listen to

Can just imagine buju in lockup how the guys just sit and listen to him,if he was a messenger for christ he would pack heaven with souls
I tell you. Heralding the Word. We are none of us perfect in this world. But we must learn and teach wisdom from our mistakes so self and others don't repeat said mistakes. Continue inspiring and encouraging positive upliftments in the music @bujubanton. There is wisdom in the words I just listened to. Look inward indeed.
@@yatanaellis-dennis2514 no mistakes were made on his part with regards to the whole set up business. The 'laws' he was charged with breaking are made up false laws.
So in the universal sense he broke zero laws.
@@morelife6508 the point I am making is no one is perfect and that what I hear from this man is pure wisdom.
Ain’t nobody can play with Buju, not even those that wish to interview him.
Am still waiting on that entrance song Buju have mercy on me oh lam of God.
It was so beautiful
@@EmpressQueenBoh yes
Someone song
Intelligent, smart, talented, poised, humble, you are a great performer! 👑🥇🏆Love you Buju, you are an amazing inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wowwwwww, enjoyed and looooove this interview, one of my favorite artist of all times❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember the first time I saw Buju...it was at a kilomanjaro dance in St. Ann Golden Grove at the community center 32 years ago when Wayne Wonder brought him out,....Buju and Wayne shell the place down that night and today this great icon has become a legend...I love these two artist to this day 💕..l
When he said artist sing 4 bars and break for 2 bars, Movado came to mind
Nick Hemmings mavado no in a di rat race a voice a bunch a songs and most a dem no good him no roll like that
Nick Hemmings Mavado a general bor😂😂😂
@Jon Doe Movado a yo boyfriend, why you so hurt
Didn't think of vado but he really does this. This is not hate just count the bars and you'll see
Jon Doe yuh hurt baddd 🤣💯
Let's hear from the man who inspired the 90's teens and beyond, The man who also made dancehall only female attire /fashion hit song ''BATTY RIDER" none since. Man who made dancehall most notorious song "BOOM BYE BYE'. Man who caused women to start bleach "BROWNING", Man who made youths in foreign to start think differently "DEPORTEE"...And the list goes on. Then, he turned Ras and most of dancehall became conscious ( Sizzla, Capleton, Garnett Silk, Luciano) mid to late 90s, with songs like Murderer, Til Shiloh...FACTS. That's why he is the greatest! BUJU BANTON FOREVER.
kifdaaaga Huh?! English bruh!
True legend
Word
The man who made me like dancehall from early 90s love from African Zimbabwe
Big facts
This guy is special he can flow through anything you throw at him . He is Peter tosh in another flesh Malcom X of reggae music
He's closer to Marcus Garvey than Malcolm x. But I understand the spirit of your comment

We were there at concert and just seeing snippets of it now, It's worth way more than the $180 each my hon n I paid.. it was such a magical feeling, still get goosebumps when I watch.
Fe real
@nancy williams an forever will be...its the only time we felt alive...😂😂
@nancy williams Amen
i am a ninety's baby but i have to agree with u! on radio and real life are two totally different things ... Chronixx and morgan heritage came to St.Vincent and i couldn't miss them , two of the best performances i have ever witnessed.
True businessman, it takes a lot of time and patience to organize a venue of this size...real respect to everyone.
Buju Banton needs a book deal.................there's still a lot of pain, but he will be ok. We Jamaicans are the strongest.
LAFF A LOT PRODUCTIONS agree 💯 about Buju getting a Book deal 🙏🏽
I'm crying tears of freedom for this wonderful brother. Sometimes it takes an unfortunate situation to capture the interest of those who would not be interested otherwise. Many will fail to listen until listening is what they of to do. Po
This generation of music does not have substances nomore.
You have to look for it chronixx,protoge, jesse royal,kybaka pyramid..jah 9.lila ike. Come on
@@edajrettip6525 once again the music sucks and don't have substance nomore point blank chronixx is ok .
There is still Authentic artists and muzik out dere u just gotta do some homework

Icons are interviewed at their studio🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
HUMBLE AND REALLY MATURED SINCE INCARCERATED. PRAYING FOR YOU BUJU TO TURN TO CHRIST. HE'S SO RIGHT ABOUT THE MUSIC NOT GOIN OUT. THE CULTURE AND THE SONGS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY IN A NEGATIVE WAY. BUJU LOVE U
The most intelligent most intellectual most prudent one and only great buju banton the new king of dancehall 👑 reasoning well said and down.
He always been the king not the new king
I’m glad I’m living in this era to actually blessed with music from this great man. We need to embarrass, love and be grateful for buju, cause just like Bob there won’t be another like him. Another classic interview that’s teaching the people.
K Newland embrace*******......... Deff not embarrass
Real talk living Legend
Best interview I've ever watched he's a man of wisdom 🇯🇲🇯🇲💯💯
Buju is just amazing, love him for the man that he is; a beautiful soul that born one in a million. Hope one day to have him here in Italy.
Love an international cocane traffiker? Good on you mate
@@druidarreynolds4303 Jamaican entertainment world is very complicated, a lot of competition and hate between singers. I think someone hate Buju to much in my opinion... Did you really think Buju was so stupid to keep drugs in his hotel room in America??? Someone set him up and this is also only my opinion... Everyone is free to think what they want.
@@letizianunes1169 they played a tape at the trial with him tasting cocaine and discussing the drug deal... what s next? you re gonna tell me Santa exists? you can be delusional but don t ask me to be
@@druidarreynolds4303 I live in Europe and here we do not watch american tv news and Buju trial was years ago. Played a type is one thing show a video type is another one. He always said he was innocent but he was an jamaican in America with a small chance to win, when people hate people they can do anything to hate more. Let's look at him to day and see the change he make in his life, he learn from his prison experience... If you hate him or you don't like him then leave him alone. Here we make comments as a opinions we are not judges in the court room we are just humans and no one of us is perfect. If you Druidar Reynolds are the perfect man on earth then take the first stone in your hands.
The Kartel part start at 36:50, great interview though watch all of it
Respect fam
Respect bad charge
Bless
Should ba look in a the comments sooner😂🤦🏾♂️
Kartel can't ride none of those riddims
This is the first time I see winford silenced humbled and lost for words is like buju the spirit/prophet put you in a different mindset is like buju lost you or revieled how lost you can feel when you interviewing a spirit and not a man but I feel it wasn’t the full level of enlightenment it was just a touch winford I see you questioning your spiritual level after this interview and so should the rest of our brothers and sisters all over the world seek wisdom through the spirit because it’s all about evolvement higher realms enlightened godlike🙏🏽🙌🏻👑🇯🇲💝
Toyaplatinum’s Empire I am glad someone else sees it ! I concur with you 150% 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Stacey Richards it’s true bbz stay blessed

Beautifully articulated. Love and light
Same exact thing I said...Wonford was just awe-strucked man as was I an i wasn't even there....ur so right buju is like a spirit man...he's just different an only ppl who love him can understand..respect to both of them
Buju full of charisma and charm. Intelligence on another level.
A masterclass in how music should go.
“Just a small dot on the global map” the influence is worldwide but we need to appreciate our music. Stop fighting the music, stop fighting the artists. The thoughts Of a well educated man, Hope the government is listening, our music is the key, our visa, our passport to the world.
Hakeen Powell true
I guess ppl just figuring this out
Reggae made JA WORLDWIDE
While every artist ah fight fi kingship buju has been at the top reggae music for decades and all now him never ball fi king ah dancehall
Who cares kartel a we king buju himself knows dat lol ....
True say that
Real talk
I am 72 and I remember our own URoy first did the talk during and over the music. However, i have not heard any musicians give him credit fir his work. Forward, yes Mr Bugu is the man i respect nuff, he is deep in mind and soul. God bless him to stay on the right path!!
The ancestors salute you Buju Ase Ase,Jamaican gem. He's clean , his thoughts are clear and concise.
Kartel learn from the good teacher and his idol (Buju), Gaza.
Buju did diss live onstage one time a bounty offi save him career
Why would you say a thing like that, every man a waste man in music, especially Jamaican musician you knew how many things Bob Marley, Buju Banton has done in the past, but still for all they are good musicians and idols. Pussy like you love to talk about Vybz Kartel.
Lion PaW you know sah a ppl like how you sound you sah a unuh a de real waste man two man convicted of a crime one with clear evidence the other with none of such but yet still unuh still hate one more than the other. My question is so why Buju mention Kartel name ? And he will continue to do so over and over get that straight
@fully up Buju shoul tell Kartel to stop run down kingship..Buju talk some fact but why he feels that Kartel a run danceall is because most of the radio stations and sound men them mostly plays Kartel's songs and not others like Alkaline..I hope Winford treats other artists the same and give them the same respect if they don't want to talk about certain things in the past and dont press them on speaking on it..like Alkaline and othres..Look how much things he talk about but some people a run with a few seconds of what he said about Kartel..the mind set of some people will never change.
@fully up I see you're brainwashed He always say he's king go do your research years back.
Why I respect this Rasta big man he’s not a hypocrite to the youths them. Thanks
Now this was an interview
23:58 most importantly I look inside myself to see what was happening, I wasn't looking out too much...
Only a person of Higher Consciousness about self and The Divinity which houses us can fully appreciate this humble realization. Love & light
Blessings for another day! His Journey is well positioned! Transitionally moving from Dimension to Dimension hence "I look inside myself to see (understand) what is happening..." He is attuning and aligning which is protecting him hence he is not looking out too much. Meditation is the key. We send Buju more Love and Light...and the Universe smiles. Ma'at
That song still gives me goosebumps
Buju find is spritual self a no any an any artist can sing a give you chill I mean sprituraly ♥️♥️👍👍💯💯 some of them nowadays song is just rubbish no apology facts
No apology , none!!!
@@paulinejames9536 true he going in the spiritual
Buju Banton IS a KING in the way that Bob Marley, Michael Jackson Fela Kuti were kings. That very first show once he got back to jamaica was more than special. This King actually created a vortex from little jamaica that I believe vibrated out in to the universe. It was spiritual and energy and blessed I. That it communicated to our ancestors and beyond. I wasn’t even there and I could feel it
CLEO JONES PORES RAISED👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Real talk sista energy high up more power
Absolutely! Well said 🥰❗️💯
The greatest with the most humility. I never call myself king...big talk Buju B.
Spiritual.. he's in the self actualization phase .. love Buju
Who remember when Vybz Kartel said when he first heard Buju Banton he felt like putting down music busy to how Buju was exceptional at that time. Now we live to hear Buju Banton acknowledging the very same person if he had succumb to his fear wouldn't be the "VYBZ KARTEL" he is today. Put Vybz Kartel in any genre of the music and he will still be outstanding 🙌🙌🙌.

If you love music. You just have to love buju ❤
If only these young artist would take pages from the Gargamel. So calm and brilliant, knowledge about his craft and life. Undoubtedly one of Winford’s greatest interview. Great interview Mr Myrie.
This man is a legend. Rasta man from my youth have more than anyone else in the world discovered the rhythm of the universe. Everything I learned as a youth man from dem turned out to be the truth. I am today a professional post doctorate very successful Black man and I declare my love and gratitude for the guidance and education from every Rasta I ever interacted with as a youth.

Buju is so spiritually deep and appreciated!
"I am not the King! I am a servant of the music!! Much respect to you Buju! You are one of the High Priests of the music!
Big up Mr. Winford Onstage, and big respect to Buju...straight outter West Africa Gambia
Good interview. Especially when Buju talks about the state of Dancehall.
The general is the son of Jamaicans and Panamanian that is why he grew up with his culture and singing in Spanish and so there are many artists with Jamaican blood influenced by culture because laughing at his Panamanian blood will always pay him respect Buyu
I’m watching this interview and I just know there were moments Buju held back emotion. So happy you are home gagamel! 🙏🏾❤️ Your greatest days have just begun 💪🏾
"Patience. Practiced by many but mastered by few."
He said Patience is a virtue. Practice by many, mastered by few!
Buju is such a deep thinker. He's been through a lot and came out on the other side still grounded. One of my fave artiste. Winford great interview. Can't wait to hear Buju's new album. I think it will be epic
I have unspekable love for Buju as an artist. Love you Buju, thanks for the music and good vibes !
Brilliant interview I mean just insightful. Sometime in life u have to go through designed trials to understand your true calling. However during the trials u won't be destroyed because your trial is a learning moment so u can teach the people.
Buju keep teaching!
Love love love love love yuh buju...there will never be another you... your in your own lane... amazing person you are...❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks ti y
Thanks to the fbi for molding buju banton
Buju is on a other plain in this interview. We can't preempt
what he's going to say, particularly using emotional prompts and responses, simply because he moves differently.
He's grounded with a level of awareness and perception that is just captivating.
He said its not that he doesn't want to talk about his time. It's that that was/is not his purpose.
Blessings to you buju and mr williams
This interview is one for the books.
