Jah Liveth ‘itinually’ warrior kings. Historic presentation of the Cimarron liberation tradition comes our way on 9/27/11 courtesy of the ‘Heartical Vibez’ revolution. Our project travels through Jamaica, Surinam and Brazil as we bring blazing ‘fyah’ to illustrate the guerilla war of liberation as our people fought for equal rights and justice from the begining of the Afrikan Holucast.

(1) ‘First Light’ – Jah V blaze up the fyah pan babylon as we define the maroon legacy. Maroon tradition represents free independent Afrikan communities throughout the diaspora that Afrikans who escaped from slave plantations manifested in order to revive the free societies our ancestors maintained in the Mama land. In jamaica early maroon communities existed from as early as 1512 in the central corridor of the island in places such as Mount Diablo, Juan De Bolas Hills and the Don Figureroa mountains. By 1740 Afrikans in Surinam had created free communities in the interion of the nation at the confluence of the comonewijne and marowijne rivers at a location called maroonage. In Brazil the great quilombos or free communities were established by free Afrikans from as early as 1540.

(2) Brazil – the great Quilombos or free societes were created by Afrikans in Brazil from the 1540’s culminating with the largest Quilombo known as Palmeras created near to the present day city of Recife in the north east of the country. This was a free society organized in accordance of Afrikan communal ‘livety’. Meaning land was shared equally and self sufficiency was maintained in food and water. For more than 40 years Portoguese colonialists were defeated in many significant battles by the Afrikans of Palmeras. There two most outstanding leaders were Zumbi and Ganga Zumba. Janda Zumba being the early master military stratefist who helped to establish Palmerias. Under Zumbi the community grew in population of 30,000 people. Not only did Palmeras becoming and unconquerable fortress but Zumbi restored and developed even more Afrikan traditions keeping the peoples identity alive. Zumbi was eventually captured and excuted by the Portogues nonetheless his date of capture is recognized as a national holiday in Brazil today known as Black Awareness Day.

(3) Surinam has a Cimarron tradition going forward to the 17th and 18th century. Afrikans defeated the dutch in 1740 resulting in the signing of a treaty of ‘freepeople’ at the historic place known today as moroonage. The facilitator of the treaty was a Jamaican maroon who had escaped to Surinam Adiyaba Basitone (also known as Boston) he taught the moroons of Surinam of the negotiation strategies the maroons of Jamaica had utilized. The moroons of Surinam maintained a a legacy of unity with the indeginous amarindian native community. The solidarity continues to this day with both communities showing maximum respect for the ecology and nature.

(4) Jamaica’s maroon legacy began as early as 1512 with the resistance struggle against the spanish colonialist. Pirates such as Francis Drake documented the presence of Afrikan Maroons from such time. The spaniards first used the latin word Cimarron to describe the Maroons of Jamaica. This word literaly transalates to mean warriof or wild ones. By the departure of the spaniards in the 17 century the majarity of the central highlands. Empress Nanny and her brothers Quaco, Kudjoe, Accompong along with Johhny developed marron communities from St. Thomas and Portland in the east all the way to St. Elizabeth and Trelawny in the West. A powerful Ashanti/Akan influence permuates Marroon culture in Jamaica both in language and rites of passage ceremonies. It was cudjoe who signed the freeman/woman treaty in Accompong in 1655. This established the Marrons of Jamaica as one of the first free Afrikan people in the western hemisphere. Vestiges of Cimarron culture such as the Abeng (Trumpet of gathering and sound of warning of the approach of enemies) are still actively used by present day maroons. Famous maroons such as Boukman Dutti who initiated the Hatian Revolution, Boston who moblized the Surinam maroons and Jack Mansong (Three finger Jack) all influenced the progression of Afrikan people in the struggle against genocide.
