Dancehall as Political Sound | Bermuda News
Description
Dr. Quito Swan, Bermudian scholar and George Washington University professor, electrified the Leopard’s Club with a riveting lecture on his new book, “Born a Sufferah: Dancehall Music’s Insurgent Soundscapes,” revealing how dancehall isn’t just music—it’s a global movement for Black consciousness, resistance, and identity. Drawing from his work on decolonization and racial justice, including expert testimony for Bermuda on historic land losses, Swan traced how reggae and dancehall evolved into powerful political tools across the African Diaspora. He spotlighted local Bermudian artists using music to voice island struggles, proving sound can ignite change. The event, attended by ministers and community leaders, was capped with a live performance by Arijahknow Live Wires, blending scholarship with soul. This lecture series celebrates Bermuda’s cultural heartbeat while connecting local stories to global struggles. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
