Скачать или смотреть Why Jamaica Can’t Be the “Carnival Capital” of the Caribbean – A Historical Breakdown

In this episode of #IslandReceipts, we’re breaking down the real reason why Jamaica’s claim to becoming the “Capital of Caribbean Carnival” is rubbing the rest of the region the wrong way.

From sidelining Caribbean culture in the reggae and dancehall era to now inserting themselves at the top of a cultural movement they didn’t build—this isn’t just about feathers and road. It’s about history, respect, and the ongoing pattern of dominance that has long left other islands erased, minimized, or mocked.

We’ll walk through:
🔹 The roots of Carnival in the Caribbean
🔹 How Jamaica historically distanced itself from Carnival culture
🔹 Why soca, steelpan, and mas are sacred and not to be co-opted
🔹 The real reason so many islands are offended by the “Carnival Capital” headline

This isn’t about division—it’s about receipts. And it’s time to set the record straight.
