More than 150 years later musician Remo Fernandes travels to the Islands to explore potential collaborations and create new work. 'Jahaji music' is a record of a difficult, if unusual and complex, musical journey ... [and endeavours] to weave a story of memory, identity and creativity"--Container. Records encounters, conversations, and collaborations with Mortimer Planno, Rikki Jai, Chris Cozier, Dancehall Queen Stacey, Denise "Saucy Wow" Belfon, and others, and takes the viewer to an East Indian Hindu wedding."
