With many music writers always seeking to classify and categorize Jamaican music, I am happy to share this on-time conversation with Alanna Stuart. Alanna is one half of the musical duo Bonjay. She is an amazingly talented singer, songwriter, and producer who recognizes her roots as a third Jamaican, a third Grenadian, and perhaps, a third complicated by the great white North that is the Canada of her upbringing. Tune in for conversation about voice, language and how they define our identities (personal, musical, and cultural). This episode features "Want a Gang” by Bonjay. It  was released in 2010 on the album “Broughtupsy.” You can stream all of Alanna’s/ Bonjay's/ Pyne's music and purchase it via the Bandcamp app. Take a listen, and hear the noise that runs through her blood to form, complicate, and constantly reconstruct her identity. ~ Riddim Writer.Suggested reading: Carolyn Cooper's Noises in the Blood: Orality, Gender, and The "Vulgar" Body of Jamaican Popular Culture (1993).

S2/ Ep3: Voicing Identity with Alanna Stuart

"I think I was afraid that I would go away and be forgotten, but then I found that you show up and pick up where you left off. People don't forget you once you're honest and true." - Alanna Stuart of BonjayIn April I found myself in Jamaica, hanging out in Kingston with Alanna, eating all of the fruits, and listening to old tunes by Snow and Toni Braxton. On my last night in the city, she and I sat on the porch to record this episode — so, yes, there are dogs barking, and cicadas chirping, and the occasional growl of passing car, but it's vibes. This one is about the methodological differences between the Toronto and Kingston scenes, and finding your creative confidence in unexpected places.Alanna's band: bonjay.net🔊Bonjay, "Brick &amp; High Beam," "Post-Urban," "Medicine For Melancholy"Support this work 💸 supporter.acast.com/burnoutSubscribe to the newsletter 💌 anupa.substack.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/burnout.
